[English]

I hear a voice calling me in my dreams

I woke up

I feel like I've lost something important

That should have been by my side

I try reading my notes

Watching the fading sunset

I wait for someone who doesn't come

But there's one thing I remember

A word (don't forget)

"You're not alone" stays in my heart

It remains with warmth

Don't worry, the night will eventually break

We will definitely meet again

You were always by my side

No need for tears, because

You're not alone (you're not alone)

...

Because you're not alone

...

No matter what starting line I stand on

I will walk to you

Crossing the wall of parallel lines

The dreams I remember

Should reach out to me

"You're not alone" stays in my heart

It remains with warmth

Don't worry, the night will eventually break

We will definitely meet again

You were always by my side

No need for tears, because

You're not alone (you're not alone)

Because you're not alone

When I'm searching for you in my memories

When I think of stepping into tomorrow

I can say with confidence that I'm not alone

I will confirm that you are by my side

Because you're not alone

You're not alone

そばにいると 確かめるよ

ひとりじゃないから

...

You're not alone

...

[Japanese]

夢の中 僕を呼ぶ声がして

目を覚ました

そばにあったはずの大切な

もの失った気がしてさ

備忘録を読んでみたり

滲む夕陽 眺めて

来ない誰かを待ってみたり

だけどたったひとつ覚えてる

言葉がある (忘れないで)

"ひとりじゃない" 胸の中

ぬくもりで残ってるよ

心配しないで やがて夜が明け

必ず きっと会えるはずさ

いつも そばにいてくれたね

涙なんていらない だって

ひとりじゃない (ひとりじゃない)

ひとりじゃないから

どんなスタートラインに立ったって

君のもとへ歩いていくよ

平行線の壁を超え

記憶にある夢が

手を差し伸べてくれるはずさ

"ひとりじゃない" 胸の中

ぬくもりで残ってるよ

心配しないで やがて夜が明け

必ず きっと会えるはずさ

いつも そばにいてくれたね

涙なんていらない だって

ひとりじゃない (ひとりじゃない)

ひとりじゃないから

思い出の中 君のこと

探しているとき

明日へ踏み出そう そう思えるから

ひとりじゃないと胸を張って言える

そばにいると 確かめるよ

ひとりじゃないから

ひとりじゃない
