[English]

I can hear it, a nostalgic feeling from somewhere The scenery of the park, the laughter, and the scent of the wind

I never knew I could have such gentle feelings Thank you, sky

We hold hands and connect Supporting each other in this small world

Love, let's nurture it so it won't break Let's protect this precious love

If it's about wanting what I don't have, I can give up But I've found this heart of mine

In the gaps between people passing by quickly, it spills and disappears Invisible tears, a small courage

No matter the time, I want to be someone who can stop And gently extend a hand

For example, someone irreplaceable to you The first person who brought a smile to your face

Love, the feelings of those loving days connect I want to see the world beyond that

Will I be laughed at for dreaming? I've found a true treasure

We hold hands and connect Supporting each other in this small world

Love, let's nurture it so it won't break Let's protect this precious love

If it's about wanting what I don't have, I can give up But I've found this heart of mine

Let's connect our dreams with a great love

Let's connect love between you and me

Living these days in this one-way path

The meaning of being next to you by chance

If I fall (NO WAY!)

I'll lend a hand (OKay)

The value of that softness and warmth never changes

With love in one hand and the future in the other

I want to hold both hands together, sharing

A wider world because I'm not alone

The invisible bond will never disappear

Let's connect our dreams with a great love

Let's connect love between you and me

[Japanese]

聞こえるよ何処と無く懐かしく思える 公園の景色笑い声や風の薫り

こんなにも優しい気持ちがあるなんて知らなかったよ 空にありがとう

僕らは手を取り合って繋がりあって 小さな世界を互いに支え合い

Love 壊れないように育てるように 大切なこの愛を守っていこう

無い物ねだりなら諦めるけど 僕のこの心は見つけたんだよ

足早にすれ違う人と人の隙間で零れて消える 見えない涙小さな勇気

どんな時も立ち止まり そっと手を差し出せる人でありたい人になりたい

例えば君にとってかけがえのない 最初に笑顔が浮かんだその人を

Love 愛する日々のそんな思いの繋がる その先の世界を見たいな

夢物語だと笑われるかな？本当の宝物見つけたんだよ

僕らは手を取り合って繋がりあって 小さな世界を互いに支え合い

Love 壊れないように育てるように 大切なこの愛を守っていこう

無い物ねだりなら諦めるけど 僕のこの心は見つけたんだよ

大きな愛で夢を繋ごう

君と僕で愛を繋ごう

この片道の中を生きる日々

たまたま君の隣にいる意味

転んだら (NO WAY!)

手を貸すさ (OKay)

柔らかくて暖かいそれの価値は変わらない

片手に愛をもう一つの手に未来を

分け合う様に両手繋いでいたいよ

一人でない分広い世界

見えないキズナは消えない

大きな愛で夢を繋ごう

君と僕で愛を繋ごう
