[English]

At the end of today, in the vast sky

A familiar scenery sways softly

Hey, can you hear this voice?

What lights up my heart is your shadow

I wonder where we are headed

I don't know what tomorrow holds

But with you, even these tears

Will become one with hope

Looking up at the sky, continuing from today

Gently, the clouds were smiling

The anxiety that isn't anyone's fault

If it's okay, let's carry it together

I wonder where we are headed

I don't know what tomorrow holds

Even if we're apart, as long as I'm here

It doesn't change the fact that we are together

I wonder where we are headed

I don't know what tomorrow holds

But with you, even these tears

Will become one with hope

Those feelings with nowhere to go

Will someday shine a light on us

Creating a path forward

At the beginning of today, in the clear sky

I wonder where we are headed

Sometimes we may stray

But no matter the time,

We have a place we can return to without saying anything

No matter where we go

Our hearts won't change

But with you, even this smile

Will shine and become light

...

[Japanese]

今日の 終わり 大きな空に

淡く 揺れる 見慣れた景色

ねぇ この声は 届いてるの

こころ 照らすのは 君の面影

どこへ向かうのだろう

明日は わからないけど

君といれば この涙も

希望への ひとつになるよ

今日の 続き 見上げた空に

そっと 雲が 微笑んでいた

誰のせいでもない不安は

一緒に持たせて 僕でよかったら

どこへ向かうのだろう

明日は わからないけど

ここにいれば 離れてても

僕らでいることには変わらないよ

どこへ向かうのだろう

明日は わからないけど

君といれば この涙も

希望への ひとつになるよ

やり場のない その想いは

いつか僕らを 照らし出して

道を作っていく

今日の 始まり 晴れ渡る空

どこへ向かうのだろう

時には 逸れるでしょう

僕らには どんな時も

何も言わず帰れる場所があるよ

どこへ向かおうとも

心は 変わらないよ

君といれば この笑顔も

輝いて 光になるよ
