自分の 過去に囚われ 迷って

Caught up in my past, lost and confused

そうじゃないよと言い聞かせて全てを

People keep telling me it's not like that, I remind myself of everything

自由に 操れるか なんて

Can I truly take control of my freedom?

分からないよと空は霞んで正解はどこ？

The sky is foggy, where is the right answer?

僕の手のひらに 残る大事なもの

What remains in the palm of my hand—something precious

忘れない記憶 何度でも

Memories I won't forget, no matter how many times

君を守り抜くと 叫んで

I’ll scream to protect you with all my strength

巻き戻しの中 掴んだ愛はそう

In the rewind, the love I grasped is like that—

離しはしないから

I won't let go

散りばめた想い 今一度きりの願いへ

次への僕に 託したよ

いつかの約束 光の道しるべになる

想像を 超える事態に 狂って

In situations beyond imagination, going crazy,

爪を立ててはもがき足掻いて心は

Clawing and struggling, my heart—

人生の 過ちをもう 何回

Has repeated the mistakes of life more times than I can count,

繰り返しては嫌いになって泣いてても

And even if I cry, hating it all,

君の憧れは いつも輝いてた

Your dreams have always shined bright

I'll come back (yeah) I'll come back (yeah)

To your future (go away)

To your future (go away)

Breaking out (yeah) breaking out (yeah)

Breaking out (yeah) breaking out (yeah)

Breaking dawn (yeah, go away)

Breaking dawn (yeah, go away)

諦めちゃいないから

Because I haven't given up yet

結ばれた意思は 独りきりじゃない強さへ

The will we've tied isn’t alone—there is strength in unity

紡いだ糸を 手繰り寄せ

Pulling the spun thread closer,

見つけた瞳は 理想を現実に変える

The eyes I found turn ideals into reality

世界はそう君のため 最初から

The world has always been for you—since the very beginning,

胸に抱いた思い出とずっと あの日から続く決意で

With memories in my heart and the resolve that’s been continuing since that day,

飛べるよ Redo
