 渦巻く闇の中　輝（ひかる）未来（あした）に向かい 
 自由をのぞみながら　束縛を求めてる
  uzumaku yami no naka  hikaru ashita ni mukai [1]
  jiyuu wo nozominagara   sokubaku wo motomete'ru
     Inside the swirling blackness, a bright tomorrow shines before you [1]
     But while you pray for freedom, you also search for your own imprisonment

 人を愛すること　人に愛されること
 求めてることに慣れて　寂しさに迷っている
  hito wo ai suru koto  hito ni ai sareru koto
  motomete'ru koto ni narete  sabishisa ni mayotte iru
     Always wanting to love and to be loved,
     You are losing yourself in loneliness

 人は人に出会い　初めて人間（ひと）になる
 今会えたことは偶然じゃないから
  hito wa hito ni deai  hajimete hito ni naru [2]
  ima aeta koto wa guuzen ja nai kara
     People first become people only after meeting others [2]
     It's no coincidence that we've found one another

 ☆強くなりたいなら　優しくなりたいのなら 
 　もっと　もっと　自分を大切にして 
 　生まれたわけを知りたいなら　やさしくしてほしいなら 
 　もっと　もっと　自分から愛せばいい 
    tsuyoku naritai nara  yasashiku naritai no nara
    motto  motto  jibun wo taisetsu ni shite
    umareta wake wo shiritai nara yasashikute hoshii nara
    motto motto jibun kara aiseba ii
       If you want to be strong, if you want to be gentle
       Then cherish yourself more and more
       If you want to know why you were born, if you want to be kind
       You should love from yourself more and more

 魂の叫びに　気付かず歩いていく 
 認められぬ自分に　戸惑うことなどない 
  tamashii no sakebi ni  kidzukazu aruite iku
  motomerarenu jibun ni  tomadou koto nado nai
     You walk on, ignorant of the cries coming from your soul,
     Within the self you can't accept, there's no confusion at all

 沢山の言い訳（りゆう）と　沢山の思い出に 
 遠回りしたけれど　何も無駄などないから 
  takusan no riyuu to  takusan no omoide ni [3]
  toomawari shita keredo  nani mo muda nado nai kara
     You have your many reasons, your many memories [3]
     Though you've been sidetracked by them, nothing is ever a waste

 自分で選んで　ココに来た日のこと 
 信じられたなら笑える日来るから 
  jibun de erande  KOKO ni kita hi no koto
  shinjirareta nara waraeru hi kuru kara
     If you believe you choose the day you get here
     Then the day will come when you can surely laugh

 ★傷ついたときこそ　自分が嫌なときこそ 
 　きっと　きっと　人は明日を見つける 
 　立ち止まって休むのもいい　また歩き出せる日まで 
 　きっと　きっと　その時はもうすぐそこ 
    kizutsuita toki koso  jibun ga iya na toki koso
    kitto  kitto  hito wa ashita wo mitsukeru
    tachidomatte yasumu no mo ii  mata arukidaseru hi made
    kitto  kitto  sono toki wa mou sugu soko
       When they are hurt, when they hate themselves
       Without fail, people start looking for tomorrow
       But it's all right to just stop and rest,
       Until the day you can start walking again
       Without a doubt, that time is near.
