[English]

On a lonely night

Soaked in the rain

Oh, what do I see?

And you just keep wandering

Feel the pain

Do you remember how far we’ve come from home?

Who will tell you

If I’m alright?

It’s not what it looks like

I never knew life would always be this hard

If you stumble, that’s okay

...

Don’t hesitate when you want something

What are you waiting for?

Find your own path

You’ve got to stand on your own two feet and don’t run away

When you show your will to live, there’s no way you’ll

Lose it once you realize anything is possible

Because life is full of opportunities

You’ll see, brighter days are coming

All the darkness will turn to light

Get set!

Is there only one place to be?

Where are we now?

It’s definitely not what it seems

Step up, rise up

Let your mind set you free

Wait up! Do you hear that noise?

Look out! Someone’s bothering us?

You know, they’re breaking

What we’ve built

I never imagined, I never thought this would happen

It’s alright

...

Don’t hesitate when you want something

What are you waiting for?

Find your own path

You’ve got to stand on your own two feet and don’t run away

When you show your will to live, there’s no way you’ll

Lose it once you realize anything is possible

Because life is full of opportunities

You’ll see, brighter days are coming

All the darkness will turn to light

Get set!

...

Oh my gosh!

Pushing too hard!

Ready to fight!

It’s just too much!

Falling apart!

Ignoring your wishes!

So much time wasted!

But I can’t reach you!

No matter how hard you try to live a good life

No matter what answer you get

No matter where you search for a reason

Your happiness is soaring

Don’t hesitate when you want something

What are you waiting for?

Find your own path

You’ve got to stand on your own two feet and don’t run away

When you show your will to live, there’s no way you’ll

Lose it once you realize anything is possible

Because life is full of opportunities

You’ll see, brighter days are coming

All the darkness will turn to light

Get set! Go!

...

[Japanese]

On one lonely night

Drenched in rain

Oh what can I see?

And you wander about

Feel the pain

You know how far we came from home?

Who'll let you know

If I'm safe

It's not what I see

I have never heard life's always hard

Go wrong, it's alright

Don't be shy whenever you want something

What you waiting for?

Find your door

Gotta hold your own and stay don't run away

When you show (will to live there's no way you)

Will lose it after finding that anything

'Cause life is full of points you score

You'll see, brighter days coming

All the nights becoming day

On your mark!

One place to be?

Where are we?

Not what it seems for sure

Coming up, bring it up

Let your mind set you free

Hold up! hear that noise?

Watch out! someone annoys?

You know, they are breaking

What we built

I've never seen I've never thought it would come

It's alright

Don't be shy whenever you want something

What you waiting for?

Find your door

Gotta hold your own and stay don't run away

When you show (will to live there's no way you)

Will lose it after finding that"anything"

Cuz life is full of points you score

You'll see, brighter days coming

All the nights becoming day

On your mark!

Gosh!

Pushing too rough!

Packing to punch!

It's just too much!

Heading to ditch!

Ignoring your wish!

Much time to miss!

But I can't reach!

No matter how much you try to live good

No matter what you get for the answer

No matter where you roam for the reason

Your elation is high

Don't be shy whenever you want something

What you waiting for?

Find your door

Gotta hold your own and stay don't run away

When you show (will to live there's no way you)

Will lose it after finding that anything

'Cause life is full of points you score

You'll see, brighter days coming

All the nights becoming day

On your mark!!

Key Grammar Structures

• Who'll let you know if I'm safe?

  ➔ Contraction & Conditional Clause

  ➔ The contraction 'Who'll' is a combination of 'Who will'. The sentence implies a condition: *If* someone will let you know if I'm safe. It expresses uncertainty.

• You know how far we came from home?

  ➔ Indirect Question

  ➔ The sentence is an indirect question, starting with 'You know'. The word order within the question ('how far we came from home') is typical of a question, but it's embedded within a statement.

• Gotta hold your own and stay don't run away

  ➔ Ellipsis & Imperative Mood

  ➔ "Gotta" is a colloquial contraction of 'got to', expressing obligation. The sentence uses the imperative mood ('hold', 'stay', 'run') giving direct commands. The 'and' connects these imperatives. The 'don't' is a negative imperative.

• When you show (will to live there's no way you) will lose it after finding that anything

  ➔ Relative Clause & Parenthetical Phrase

  ➔ The phrase 'When you show...' introduces a time clause. The part in parentheses 'will to live there's no way you' is a parenthetical phrase adding extra information. 'That anything' is a vague pronoun referring to a positive discovery.

• No matter how much you try to live good

  ➔ Concession Clause

  ➔ The phrase 'No matter how much...' introduces a concession clause, meaning that *regardless of* how much effort you put in, the following statement still holds true. 'Good' is used as an adverb here, modifying 'live'.
