Lyrics

Rōmaji

Kara no kokoro wo terasu mono wa nani?
Sakebi tsuzukeru hikari todoku made

Falling through the cracks kurayami he ochiteku
Anata no sono te wo zettai hanasanai
Tell me the story of your life mada michi no tochuu
Anata wo watashi ha zettai akiramenai

Osaerarenai shoudou nanigenai hibi ha aijyou
Natsukashii kaze ni furimukeba itsudemo anata no koe ga suru yo
Underdog ha Wander around mawari michi shitemo nigeru yori mashi yo

Jibun de jibun wo shinjirare nakucha dare wo shinjiru no?
Hikari ni sono te kazase

Oh yeah~

Shining through the clouds kurayami he ochiteku
Anata no sono te wo zettai hanasanai
Tell me what is on your mind hateshinai yume wo
Oikake bokura ha zettai akiramenai

Kotae no nai jinsei ni kujike sou ni naru kedo
Don’t give it up! Keep it up! Turn it upside down!
Kokoro ha tsunagatteru yo tatoe tooku hanaretemo
Tomo ni tomo ni ikiteyukou

Kanji

カラノココロを照らすものは何？
叫び続ける光届くまで

Falling through the cracks暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を絶対話さない
Tell me the story of your lifeまだ道の途中
あなたをわたしは絶対諦めない

抑えられない衝動何気ない日々は愛情
懐かしい風にふりむけば、いつでもあなたの声がするよ
Underdog は Wander around周り道しても逃げるよりマシよ

自分で自分を信じられなくちゃ、だれを信じるの？

光にその手かざせ

Oh yeah~
Shining through the clouds暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を絶対話さない
Tell me what is on your mind果てしない夢を
追いかけ僕らは絶対諦めない

答えのない人生にくじけそうなるけど
Don’t give it up! Keep it up! Turn it upside down!
心は繋がってるよ、たとえ遠く離れても
共に、共にいきてゆこう

English

What does it mean to shine upon an empty heart?

I keep screaming until I reach the light
Falling through the cracks, falling down to the darkness
I will definitely not let go of that hand of yours
Tell me the story of your life, we’re still halfway
I will definitely not give up on you

The urge that cannot be suppressed, the nonchalant days are love

When I turn around to the nostalgic wind, I always hear your voice
The underdog wanders around, it’s better to take the long way than to run
I can’t even believe in myself, so who do I believe?
That hand is decorated by the light

Shining through the clouds, falling down to the darkness
I will definitely not let go of that hand of yours
Tell me what is on your mind, we,
who are chasing the endless dream, will definitely not give up


This life with no answers may seem discouraging but
Don’t give it up! Keep it up! Turn it upside down!
Our hearts are connected, even if we are far apart

Let’s both live together

Rōmaji (Full Version)

Kanji (Full Version)

カラノココロを照らすものは何？
叫び続ける　光　届くまで

Falling through the cracks
暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を　絶対離さない
Tell me the story of your life
まだ道の途中
あなたをわたしは　絶対諦めない

抑えられない衝動
何気ない日々は愛情
懐かしい風にふりむけば
いつでもあなたの声がするよ

Underdog　は　Wander around
回り道しても逃げるよりマシよ
自分で自分を信じられなくちゃ
誰を信じるの？

光に　その手　かざせ

Shining through the clouds
暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を　絶対離さない
Tell me what is on your mind
果てしない夢を
追いかけ　僕らは　絶対諦めない
答えのない人生にくじけそうになるけど
Don't give it up！　Keep it up！　Turn it upside down！
心は繋がってるよ　たとえ遠く離れても
共に　共に　生きてゆこう

いつも全力疾走
目指すのはあの頂上
探し続けてる居場所は
いつでもあなたを待っているよ

Our lives　は　Winding road
寄り道しても戻るよりマシよ
たとえ間違えても　無駄じゃないから
迷わずに進め

その手を　空に　かざせ

Falling through the cracks
暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を　絶対離さない
Tell me the story of your life
まだ道の途中
あなたをわたしは　絶対諦めない
答えのない人生に迷ってばかりだけど
Don't give it up！　Keep it up！　Turn it upside down！
心は繋がってるよ　たとえ遠く離れても
共に　共に　生きてゆこう

光に　その手　かざせ

Shining through the clouds
暗闇へ落ちてく
あなたのその手を　絶対離さない
Tell me what is on your mind
果てしない夢を
追いかけ　僕らは　絶対諦めない
答えのない人生にくじけそうになるけど
Don't give it up！　Keep it up！　Turn it upside down！
心は繋がってるよ　たとえ遠く離れても
共に　共に　生きてゆこう
