Haruka tooku ni ukabu hoshi wo
Omoi nemuri ni tsuku kimi no
Erabu mirai ga nozomu michi ga
Doko e tsuzuiteitemo
Tomo ni ikiru kara
Zutto mukashi no kioku
Tsurerarete kita kono hoshi de kimi wa
Negai tsuzuketeta
Tooku de kirameku keshiki ni
Tobikomu koto ga dekita no nara
Hitori kodoku na sekai de
Inori negau
Yume wo egaki
Mirai wo miru
Nigedasu yori mo susumu koto wo
Kimi ga eranda no nara
Dareka ga egaita imeeji janakute
Dareka ga eranda suteeji janakute
Bokutachi ga tsukute iku sutoorii
Kesshite hitori ni wa sasenai kara
Kono hoshi ni umareta koto
Kono sekai de iki tsuzukeru koto
Sono subete wo aiseru you ni
Meippai no (ah) shukufuku wo kimi ni
か遠くに浮かぶ星を
想い眠りにつく君の
選ぶ未来が望む道が
何処へ続いていても
共に生きるから
ずっと昔の記憶
連れられて来たこの星で君は
願い続けてた
遠くで煌めく景色に
飛び込むことが出来たのなら
一人孤独な世界で
祈り願う
夢を描き
未来を見る
逃げ出すよりも進むことを
君が選んだのなら
誰かが描いたイメージじゃなくて
誰かが選んだステージじゃなくて
僕たちが作っていくストーリー
決して一人にはさせないから
この星に生まれたこと
この世界で生き続けること
その全てを愛せる様に
目一杯の祝福を君に
You fall asleep
Thinking of the stars floating in the distance
The future you choose, the path you wish to take
Wherever they may lead
Those stars will be living it with you
Memories of long ago
This planet has brought in tow
You’ve kept wishing,
If only you could jump
Into the twinkling scenery beyond
Alone in a lonely world
Praying and hoping
Imagining a dream
You look to the future
So if you’ve chosen to forge onward
Rather than run away…
It’s not the image someone else has drawn
It’s not the stage someone else has chosen
It’s a story we’re creating together
So you’ll never be alone again
To be born upon this star
To go on living in this world
With hope that you’ll love every moment

遥か遠くに浮かぶ星を
想い眠りにつく君の
選ぶ未来が望む道が
何処へ続いていても
共に生きるから
ずっと昔の記憶
連れられて来たこの星で君は
願い続けてた
遠くで煌めく景色に
飛び込むことが出来たのなら
一人孤独な世界で
祈り願う
夢を描き
未来を見る
逃げ出すよりも進むことを
君が選んだのなら
誰かが描いたイメージじゃなくて
誰かが選んだステージじゃなくて
僕たちが作っていくストーリー
決して一人にはさせないから
いつかその胸に秘めた
刃が鎖を断ち切るまで
ずっと共に闘うよ
決め付けられた運命
そんなの壊して
僕達は操り人形じゃない
君の世界だ 君の未来だ
どんな物語にでも出来る
逃げる様に 隠れる様に
乗り込んで来たコクピットには
泣き虫な君はもう居ない
いつの間にかこんなに強く
これは君の人生
(誰のものでもない)
それは答えなんて無い
(自分で選ぶ道)
もう呪縛は解いて
定められたフィクションから今
飛び出すんだ
飛び立つんだ
誰にも追いつけないスピードで
地面蹴り上げ空を舞う
呪い呪われた未来は
君がその手で変えていくんだ
逃げずに進んだことできっと
掴めるものが沢山あるよ
もっと強くなれる
この星に生まれたこと
この世界で生き続けること
その全てを愛せる様に
目一杯の祝福を君に
You fall asleep
Thinking of the stars floating in the distance
The future you choose, the path you wish to take
Wherever they may lead
Those stars will be living it with you
Memories of long ago
This planet has brought in tow
You’ve kept wishing,
If only you could jump
Into the twinkling scenery beyond
Alone in a lonely world
Praying and hoping
Imagining a dream
You look to the future
So if you’ve chosen to forge onward
Rather than run away…
It’s not the image someone else has drawn
It’s not the stage someone else has chosen
It’s a story we’re creating together
So you’ll never be alone again
Until the day the blade in your heart
Cuts through the chains
We’ll always be fighting together
A fate that’s already been decided?
Just break it
We’re not puppets
It’s your world, it’s your future
You can shape it into any story you want
As if you were running, as if you were hiding,
You climbed into this cockpit
But you’re not a crybaby anymore
Before you knew it, you’ve become so strong
This is your life
(It doesn’t belong to anyone)
There aren’t any answers
(Only the path you choose)
The spell has already been broken
So leave behind this predetermined fiction
Break out
And take flight
With a speed that no one can catch up to
Kick off from the ground and soar through the air
This cursed future
Will be changed by your own hands
There’s surely so much you can grasp
By forging onward and never giving up
You can become even stronger
To be born upon this star
To go on living in this world
With hope that you’ll love every moment
English version[]
As you are now thinking of that star, so remote
You're dozing off to be sleeping through with a thought
And the future you decide
The way you want to stride
Wherever you choose to set off, to go
Together, I'll be there by you
You hold old memories, asleep in you
You then were taken afar
So young, to this star
Deep inside, the growing wish
Held it tight
Over there, a scenery that's glittering
If you could only jump, and land in the globe you sight
It's only you, so lonely in this domain
Invoke and desire
Dream and hope you're drawing
As you see the future
And if you choose to keep on marching on
Instead of running off
And cleared of any doubt
Not to be part of those images someone paints
Not advancing in that show, chosen by someone else
You and I, ally to write our story
Will never let you be lone and be gone from your side
Hidden out in your chest, and the day will come
When your blade will be cutting all those chains
Unbound restraints
At all times, together we'll be fighting on
Brought up in this predetermined fate
Go ahead and crush it
Breaking free, we never were some puppets to start with
See, your realm ignites now
Your future to shine bright
Unbound possibilities, make it what you want to
As to scoot, holing up as you ran up to me
So, you climbed up in the cockpit and stayed inside
That kid in scenes left in the past, no more to cry
Before I realized, you grew to be powerful
It's your life, your story, your way
And it's not owned by anybody
And it has no answer that is right
Up to you to walk the route you point at
Now the spell is broken
And as we're now about to part with that fiction, defined
It's time to fly out to take off right now
At a pace no one can attain, I speed away
Kicking up the ground, soaring up the sky with you
Covering the future, that curse to grip tight
As you are changing it by using your own might
And by choosing not to run off, but to stride on
You extended the scope of all things you can reach out for
Grow to become so powerful
And on this planet, you were made to be born
To keep on living in this world, as time is flowing on
And so, you'd love it all, so you would treasure it
May all blessings find their way to you, I'm wishing it[2]
