愛のロケット
打ち上げた空
誰も知らない夜のこと
月が燃えてる
暗闇にはじける花火のように
火をつけたら
そこは世界の果て
愛し合いたい

与えあいたい
見たこともない愛のかたち
月が燃えてる
その愛で
誰かのハードルなんて
飛び越えて
道なき道を行こう

その愛でその足で
誰かのハードルなんて
飛び越えて
道なき道を行こう
何処へでも
貴方の思いのまま
貴方だけの
光る未来の方へ
愛のロケット
打ち上げた空

奇跡のように
月が燃えてる

This love brings people together, and helps them overcome any obstacles or hurdles that they may face. The lyrics suggest that love can take us to places we've never been before, and allow us to experience a new kind of love that we've never felt before.

The song talks about the idea of giving and receiving love, and the importance of this exchange. It suggests that when we love someone, we should be willing to give ourselves fully to them and to receive their love in return.
