kokoro ni aru hana wo~

bokura ga kakenuketa toki asu he to mukau tabi
ooku wo katarazu mizukara sono saki wo misueteku
[The time we've passed together, on the journey towards tomorrow
not having much to say, we look at the older selves we've been before]

isshun mayou kedo kanarazu michi ga aru todoka nai you na gooru nante nai
[We might have been momentarily lost but certainly there is a path forward, there's no such thing as an unreachable goal]

tooku ni mieteta butai ni matsu mono wa nani darou
kokoro ni maita sono tane wa itsuka kitto mebuku n da
nemure nai hitori no yoru meguru shikou kairo wa satoru
‘ima no jibun de machigai nai ?’ tte sa
[What is it that awaits us on the stage we can see in the distance?
the seeds we sow in our hearts, will someday bud for sure
alone on a sleepless night, repeatedly thinking about it i understood
"there can be no mistake about who i am now"]

kokoro ni aru hana wo karasazu ni sakaseyou
yume ga yagate tashika na kagayaki he kawaru you ni
yumemita sono keshiki wa kesshite iroasezu ni
towa ni bokura no mune ni kizamareru no dakara
kyou no hi mo koko ni ‘boku’ toiu imi wo umu kumori naki soboku na hikari da
[The flower in your heart, let it not dry but bloom
so that your dreams will soon turn radiant
make the scene you dreamt about never fade
so that we will forever keep it in mind
here on this day too we will give meaning to the word "me", it's a simple cloudless light]

mou make nai to chikatta ano yoru no namida wo
nugutta sono toki ni yadotta tamashii ga atte
wasurenai hibi wo koete yatto tadori tsuketa basho ni
‘koukai’ nante mon wa hitsuyou na itte sa
[Vow never to lose again, wipe away the tears shed that night and feel the spirit of the moment
break through the routines of every day and you will definitely get somewhere
there is no need for something like "regret"]

kokoro ni saku hana wo taisetsu ni sodateyou
tokini ame ni utare toki ni kaze ni fukare
yagate hana wa kuchite mo umare yuku inochi ga aru
towa ni tsudzuku rensa ni ‘boku’ toiu imi wo motsu
ano hi no bokura ga warau sakihokoru hana wo shitau
ima no bokura ni mukeru sono manazashi wa kataru
nichijou no hibi koso kiseki bokutachi ga tsumuideku kiseki
sagasu no wa ‘tokubetsu’ de wa naku nichijou toiu na no me no mae no kiseki
[Take care of the blooming flower in your heart, sometimes rain will strike on it and sometimes wind will blow on it
even if a flower eventually wilts, it lives to give life
in the never ending chain of life, "me" still carries it's meaning
that day we will all be smiling, looking at the flower that is in full bloom
tell it to those who look at who we are now
the ordinary every day is a miracle too, we ourselves are an unfolding miracle
what we should look for is not something "special", it is the miracle right before our eyes called our ordinary days]

kagayaita kyou ni kansha to oshimi naku tsudzuku hakushu wo
moetsukita bokura ga ima idaku hokori koso motsu beki hitsuzen
itsuka kyou ga kako ni kawari ‘ima’ ni make sou ni natte mo
bokutachi wa omoidasu darou jounetsu ni somatta hibi wo
[The day when you shine, the gratitude continues on with the generous applause
and when it ends, we must be able to hold on to the pride we had
so that after that, even when the "now" seems to be heading for defeat
we will still remember it, the days that were filled with passion]

kokoro ni aru hana wo itsu made mo sakaseyou
tatoe mizu ga tsukite mo tatoe yami ga ootte mo
owari toiu hajimari hajimari toiu na no owari
bokutachi wa mada aruiteku bokutachi ga mada aruiteku
sono saki ni michi naru ie nu itami ga matsu tomo hitasura ni tsudzuku mirai ga mitai
hito hira no awai kiseki wo mitai
[The flower in your heart, let it always bloom
even if the water runs out, even if the darkness covers it
the beginning called the end, and the end that is called the beginning
we are still walking on, it is us who are still walking on
even if we don't know if the previous pain can possibly be healed, we still earnestly want to see the future
to see the fleeting miracle of each falling petal]
