aseta kioku no sukima kara koboreru namida atsumete
yume wo tsunaida yume wo mite itsumo kizu ni naru
From the gap inside my faded memories, I collect the overflowing tears
Dream after dream, they always become a scar
ah kurikaesu kako ni kibou ga nakutemo
ah itsuka wa kagayaku hoshi mo aru hazu
Ah, even if there is no hope in my repeating past
Ah, someday it should surely become a sparkling star
kono hikari wo daiteiru no wa
kimi ga nozonda mirai no tame
chiisana yakusoku ga bokutachi no
kako to ima wo tsunagu kara
I am embracing this light
For the sake of the future you wished for
Because that small promise now
Links our past and present together
kieta sekai no gareki kara nakushita kokoro mitsukete
kizu wo iyasu basho mo nakute dakedo yume wo miru
In the ruins of the vanished world, I find my dead heart
I have no place to heal my wounds, yet I still continue to dream
ah kurikaesu yami ni owari ga nakutemo
ah koko kara hajimaru yume mo aru hazu
Ah, even if there is no end to this repeating darkness
Ah, from here on there should surely be a dream beginning
ano egao wo wasurenai no wa
tatta hitotsu no mirai no tame
chiisana hohoemi ga kono hoshi no
kyou to ashita tsunagu kara
I cannot forget your smile
For the sake of that single future
Because that small smile
Links this star's today and yesterday together
kimi ga iru aoi sora wo
itsuka umareta umi wo
dakishimete kizutsukete
eien ni mamoritai
The blue sky that you are in
Someday, that ocean that came from it
I want to embrace it, hurt it
And protect you forever
kono hitomi ni utsuru mirai wa
sagashitsuzuketa sadame no hoshi
futatsu no toki wo koeta kizuna ga
kimi to boku wo tsunagu no sa
The future reflected in these eyes
Is the star of fate I have continued searching for
The bonds that crossed between these two times
Link you and I together
kono hikari wo daiteiru no wa
kimi ga nozonda mirai no tame
chiisana yakusoku ga bokutachi no
kako to ima wo tsunagu kara
I am embracing this light
For the sake of the future you wished for
Because that small promise now
Links our past and present together
kyou to ashita tsunagu kara
Links today and yesterday together...
