Japanese Rōmaji[]
Tsuyoi kaze no mukou
Yume no hikari tobashitara
Mune no oku de mou ichido chikaou
Hashiridasu kimochi wa
Dare mo oikosenai kara
Kibou utsushidasou hitomi ni
Shinjite iru koto wo
Motome tsuzukete
Yowasa wo koeta
Kimi ga habataku tooku e
Kimi ga iru kara ikite iku imi wo shitta
Dakishimete itsuka kono omoi wo
Kinou no watashi ga kyou wo tsukutte iku no
Sekai no kanata de
Motto kirameku hoshi wo tsukamitai
English Translation[]
If the light of my dreams is extinguished
In a gale
I'll vow once more from the bottom of my heart
Because my desire to run
Can't surpass anyone
There will be hope reflected in my eyes
As you continue searching for
The things you believe in
You overcome your weakness
And fly into the distance
Because of you I realized the meaning of life
As I embrace these emotions
My past self continues to shape the present
I want to catch a brighter star
At the edge of the world
