On the days I wondered if I should give up

優しく差しのべられた手は

The hand that was gently extended

なによりも温かいもので

Is warmer than anything else

今私は 迷いの中で

Now I am lost in confusion

がむしゃらに光探してる

Desperately searching for the light

最後まであきらめないと

I won't give up until the end

希望だけ握りしめてる

I am holding onto hope alone

過ぎた時間を 無駄にしないと

I won't waste the time that has passed

胸に約束したあの日

歩いた道に 後悔しないと

I won't regret the path I walked

“今” という時間を ただ必死に生きて

Living desperately in this moment called "now"

奇跡を信じてる

I believe in miracles

曖昧なこの夢を 必死に追いかけて

Chasing this vague dream with all my might

またくじけそうになるけど

I feel like I might break again

あと少しがんばれる そんな気がして

But I feel I can push through just a little more

この場所で私は歌っている

Here in this place, I am singing

悔しくて悲しくて 少しだけつらい日々

Days that are frustrating, sad, and a bit painful

With irreplaceable memories in my heart

かけがえのない思い出を胸に

Until the day I reach that place I once dreamed of

いつか夢見た あの場所に着く日まで

I believe in miracles

奇跡を信じてる

奇跡を信じてる

あきらめちゃだめだよと もう少しやれるよと

Don't give up, you can do a little more

心が叫び続けてる

そう今は少しだけ 自信をなくして

Yes, right now, I’ve lost a bit of confidence

たまに弱気になったりしてる

Sometimes I feel weak

何度も問いかけてみて 何度も返ってくる

I ask myself over and over, and the answer comes back

この胸の答えは一つ

The answer in my heart is one

まだ強くなれるかな 手のひらを見つめて

Can I still become stronger? I gaze at my palm

この手には今もまだ
