[English]

ヒカリを探そうと 真夜中の空へと

天体観測 宛(あ)てさえなく 手を伸ばす yeah

「ヒトリで大丈夫」だって 口癖にしていた

夢の途中で キミを想った 明日へのbeats「聴こえる？」

信じつづけていたいよ 見えない星を

Seek a light いつの日か 出逢える だから

To the sky それぞれの 夢を拡げて

「ヒトリじゃないなら」いくつもの星が

もっと 連なって 進めるでしょう Seek a light

「夜明けのその前が １番暗いんだ」って

教えてくれた 思い出してた long ago days never forget

決して 諦めないよ ２人の明日を

Seek a light 限りある 時間のなかで

Wild and tough 交差する 軌跡を越えて

たとえ離れても 感じあえるはず

消えない 約束を 灯しあって seek a light

この暗闇は きっと 未来の 序章(プロローグ)だから see the dark

Seek a light いつの日か 出逢える だから

To the sky それぞれの 夢を拡げて

「ヒトリじゃないから」いくつもの星が

強く 繋がって 導いてゆく see the dark, seek a light

たとえ離れても 感じあえるはず

消えない 約束を 灯しあって seek a light
