沢山いる ねぇ聞こえてる?
聞こえないフリ 見えないフリはしないで
ここにいるよ ねぇ気付いてる?
「僕は彼らとは違う」
「私はなにも関係ない」
どうぞご勝手に思うのは問題ないけど
見えない言葉の刃先に
いつだって誰かがいつだって
僕らが生きる世界はひとつ
だけど誰もが同じではない
いつの日か世界が変わる
願い続けて ここで生きている
まだ部屋の隅で 泣いてる兄弟たちよ
この歌声が聴こえてる?
あなたの生きる炎が燃える限りは
ここで強く歌い続ける
「僕は彼らとは違う?」
「私はいつまでも孤独?」
馬鹿な言葉たちに惑わされてはいけないから
あなたはあなたでいること
それはとても素晴らしいこと
いつだってあなたは いつだって
僕らが生きる世界はひとつ
ありのままのあなたを愛して
いつの日か世界が変わる
願い続けて 強く生きていて
心ない言葉に僕らはもう負けない
人として人をまっすぐに愛していたい
いまここで 叫んで 叫んで 叫んで 叫んで
いまここで 歌って 歌って 歌って 歌って
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together
僕らが生きる世界はひとつ
だけど誰もが同じではない
いつの日か世界が変わる
願い続けて ここで
僕らが生きる世界はひとつ
ありのままのあなたを愛して
いつの日か世界が変わる
願い続けて 強く生きていて
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
The lyrics to "Pure" by 向井太一 speak about the struggles and emotions experienced by others, particularly those who are crying and burdened with their troubles. The song encourages listeners to acknowledge and empathize with these individuals instead of pretending not to see or hear their pain. The lyrics emphasize that although everyone lives in the same world, no one is exactly the same. Each individual has their own unique experiences and challenges. Despite this, the song expresses hope for a better world, where everyone's wishes can come true, and encourages listeners to continue living strongly and passionately.
In the first verse, the lyrics address the attitude of distancing oneself from others' problems and insisting on being different from them. While it acknowledges that people are entitled to their own thoughts, it reminds them of the invisible pain and sharp words that can hurt others. The lyrics emphasize that someone is always there, caring and feeling for others.
The second verse continues the theme of empathy and speaks directly to those who are still crying in the corners of their rooms. The lyrics ask if they can hear the singer's voice and assure them that as long as their flame of life is burning, the singer will continue to sing strongly for them. It encourages those who feel different or perpetually lonely to avoid being misled by foolish words and to embrace their uniqueness, as it is truly wonderful. The chorus repeats the idea that while the world we live in may be one, everyone is different, and it expresses a desire for the world to change someday while urging listeners to continue wishing and living strong.
Overall, "Pure" is a heartfelt song that emphasizes empathy, individuality, and hope for a better world. It encourages listeners to acknowledge and support others in their struggles, while also embracing their own uniqueness and living passionately. The lyrics remind us of the power of connection and compassion, urging listeners to love others genuinely and to stand up against hurtful words.

Lyrics:
While you try to be strong others are crying
There are so many, can you hear them?
Don´t pretend you can´t hear it
They are here, do you know?
"I am different from them"
"We have nothing in common"
Go ahead and think it´s not your problem
The heart will surely hurt
By those judging invisible words
Always someone else, always...
We all live in one world
But nobody is the same
Someday the world will change
Just keep on wishing and live now
They are still crying in the corner of the room
Will they hear this song?
As long as you live (he sings "as long as your flame of life is burning")
continue to sing here strongly
"Am i different from them?"
"Will i be lonely forever?"
Don´t be fooled by these stupid words!
You are yourself
This is a very wonderful thing
Always be you, always...
We all live in one world
Love yourself for who you are
Someday the world will change
Keep on wishing and live strongly
You can´t loose to words you don´t mind
I want to love people for who they are
Here and now i will scream, scream, scream, scream
Here and now i will sing, sing, sing, sing
Let´s get together and feel alright
We live in one world
But nobody is the same
Someday the world will change
Keep on wishing here
We live in one world
Love Yourself for who you are
Someday the world will change
Keep on dreaming and live strongly
Let´s get together and feel alright
