nemuranai kono machi mo   imadake wa madoromu
even this city that never sleeps dozes off just for now
kyou kara to kinou made   nanika ga kawatte yuku
from today, and until yesterday -- something is changing now

kitto yarinaoseru hazu
I'm sure we can start over
datte   hitori ja nai kara
because we're not alone
soba ni ite kureru dakede
just by having you at my side
tsuyoku nareru ki ga suru
makes me feel like I can be stronger

dokomade ikeru kana
how far can we go?
mirai-e tsuzuku basho
the place that leads to the future
tooku de kagayaite   sekai wo tsutsumikomu
glimmers far away -- engulfing the entire world
yoake mae
before dawn

ao ni naru shunkan wo machikirezu hashiridasu
unable to wait for the moment it turns blue, we start to run

kizutsuita omoide nado
mere scarred memories
wasurete shimaeba ii
should all be foregotten
mayowanaide susumu kara
because I'm going to trudge forward with no doubts
zutto mite ite hoshii
I want you to watch me forever

kotoba ni shinaku temo
even if you don't put it into words
yasashisa kanjiteta
I felt your kindness
nannimo kikanaide   issho ni itekureta
you didn't ask me anything as you stayed with me
yoake mae
before dawn

ookina   tsubasa wo motta     tori ni natta mitai ni
just like I became a bird --- w i t h   l a r g e   w i n g s

dokomade ikeru kana
how far can we go?
mirai-e tsuzuku basho
the place that leads to the future
tooku de kagayaite   sekai wo tsutsumikomu
glimmers far away -- engulfing the entire world
yoake mae
before dawn
