[English]

We're in the wilderness world

We're in the wilderness world

We're in the wilderness world

...

There was no end to the world

As if the sky continues endlessly

I wonder why I came to this wilderness

I questioned myself many times

Even when I look around, it's just a desolate horizon with the wind blowing

Somewhere, an unseen tomorrow waits for something

While feeling my way, let's search for the end

What if...?

Even if I end up all alone (Hey!)

I will never give up, until the very end

Living is instinct (Hey!)

This life exists to fight

(Making every effort I can) Right here

(Give it my all) I have no choice but to win

Not for someone else

Everything is for myself (Go! Go! Go ahead!)

Dreams are my weapon

It's okay to throw away hope

There's nothing to lose

In this vast wilderness, it doesn't rain

Yet somewhere, flowers will bloom

As people become lonely, they can become stronger than they ever imagined

What hides in the heart, is it an enemy or an ally?

What I believe in is my animal instinct

Surely

Even if everyone disappears from here (Hey!)

I won't run away from hell

The paradise of this world is an illusion (Hey!)

I thought I would accept my fate

(I believe the future that is true) That is

(The only way) The meaning of life

No matter how painful it is

I can't afford to die (Do! Do! Do the best!)

Dreams are my weapon

Before I knew it, I was searching for something important I had never touched in this desolate land

Even when I look around, it's just a desolate horizon with the wind blowing

Somewhere, an unseen tomorrow waits for something

見えない明日もどこかに 何が待っているのか

While feeling my way, let's search for the end

What if...?

Even if I end up all alone (Hey!)

I will never give up, until the very end

Living is instinct (Hey!)

This life exists to fight

(Making every effort I can) Right here

(Give it my all) I have no choice but to win

Not for someone else

Everything is for myself (Go! Go! Go ahead!)

Dreams are my weapon

(We're in the wilderness world)

Teach me love

(We're in the wilderness world)

What kind of flower is it?

(We're in the wilderness world)

I overlooked it

(I'm, I'm, I'm here!)

If it's me, I will be here

...

[Japanese]

We're in the wilderness world

We're in the wilderness world

We're in the wilderness world

世界に終わりなんて無かったんだ

空が何処までも続いてるように

僕はこの荒野に何故に来たのか

何度も自分に問いかけた

周り見渡してみても殺風景な地平線に風が吹くだけだ

見えない明日もどこかに 何が待っているのか

手探りしながら 涯を探そう

What if...?

たった一人になったとしても (Hey!)

絶対に諦めはしない 最後まで

生きるっていうことは本能さ (Hey!)

この命 闘うためにあるんだ

(Making every effort I can) ここで

(Give it my all) 勝つしかない

誰かのためじゃなくて

全ては自分のため (Go! Go! Go ahead!)

夢は僕の武器だ

希望を捨ててしまえばいいんだよ

失うものなどなんにも無いだろう

広いこの荒野に雨は降らない

それでもどこかに花は咲く

人は孤独になる度 自分でさえも驚くくらい強くなれるんだ

心に隠れているのは 敵か味方だろうか

信じているのは動物的勘

Surely

みんなここからいなくなっても (Hey!)

僕は逃げ出すものか 地獄から

この世の天国とは幻想さ (Hey!)

運命を受け入れようと思った

(I believe the future that is true) それが

(The only way) 生きる意味だ

どんなに苦しくても

死ぬわけにはいかない (Do! Do! Do the best!)

夢は僕のカ

いつの間にか僕は 荒涼とした地で

触れたことのない大事なものを探してたんだ

周り見渡してみても 殺風景な地平線に風が吹くだけだ

見えない明日もどこかに 何が待っているのか

手探りしながら涯を探そう

What if...?

たった一人になったとしても (Hey!)

絶対に諦めはしない 最後まで

生きるっていうことは本能さ (Hey!)

この命 闘うためにあるんだ

(Making every effort I can) ここで

(Give it my all) 勝つしかない

誰かのためじゃなくて

全ては自分のため (Go! Go! Go a head!)

夢は僕の武器だ

(We're in the wilderness world)

愛を教えてくれ

(We're in the wilderness world)

どんな花なのか

(We're in the wilderness world)

見過ごしてしまったよ

(I'm, I'm, I'm here!)

僕ならここにいる
