答えのない毎日が

Every day without answers

ただ過ぎていく時間が

Time just passes by

これから先どうなるのだろう？

I wonder what will happen from now on?

わからない...

I don't know...

闇よりも深い夜の孤独に

In the loneliness of a night deeper than darkness

惑わされてた

I was lost

だれかに今気づいてほしい...

I want someone to notice me now...

ここから逃げ出したいから

Because I want to escape from here

窓から見える朝焼け

The sunrise visible from the window

部屋に鳴り響く音

The sound echoing in the room

アラームに起こされて

Woken up by the alarm

薄暗い中 家飛び出すよ

I dash out into the dim light

カバンの中には

In my bag

何も変わらない平凡詰め込んで

I packed nothing but the ordinary

そしていつもの場所へ

And then to the usual place

だれかが言った言葉が

Words someone said

気になって 惑わされて

Bother me, make me uneasy

争いたくなんてないから

I don't want to fight

何も言えない

So I can't say anything

夢や理想はあるけれど

I have dreams and ideals

気持ちばかり先に行って

But my feelings rush ahead

現実がずっと後ろから

While reality is always behind

ボクを見てる

Watching me

ねぇだれか教えて

Hey, can someone tell me

みんなそうなのかな？

Is everyone like this?

今日が幸せなら

If today is happy

それでいいと思えるって

I think that's enough

幼いころには

When I was young

確かにあったよ

It definitely existed

夢を追いかけてた

I was chasing my dreams

でもそれも遠い記憶

But that's a distant memory now

答えのない毎日が

Every day without answers

ただ過ぎていく時間が

Time just passes by

これから先どうなるのだろう？

I wonder what will happen from now on?

わからない...

I don't know...

ツキアカリのミチシルベ

The moonlit path

雲を越えボクに届け

Cross the clouds and reach me

進むべき道を照らしてよ

Illuminate the path I should take

今日がどんなに壊れそうでも

No matter how fragile today seems

何があっても

No matter what happens

何があっても

No matter what happens

信じてたいから

I want to keep believing

あの日の遠い記憶

Because it awakens the distant memory of that day

呼び覚ますから

Don't forget

忘れないでね

Etch it in your heart

胸に刻みつけ

The answer is within yourself

答えは自分の中に

It must be there

必ずあるものだから

Don't give up

あきらめないで

あきらめないで

強く生きることをやめないで

Don't stop living strongly

悲しすぎて

Even when it's too sad

前に進めない時でも

And I can't move forward

共に悩み歩んだぼくらに

For us who walked together in worry

風は吹く

The wind will blow

どこまででも

Wherever it may lead

...

...
