和田光司 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
無限の軌跡は遥か
真実はひとつじゃない 君だけの放物線
夢のカタチに描くんだ
声上げて何度でも 君の名を叫ぼう
迷いはない憂いもない 希望だけが見えるよ
※夜明けが来る さあ飛び立つ時
握り締めたこぶしの中 パワーに溢れ
羽ばたいてく 君からDaybreak※
進むべき場所へ向かい 大空を突き抜けてく
踊るように華やかに
転んだら立ち上がって 君はまた強くなるよ
変えられない思いを胸に
悔しけりゃ泣けばいい また笑えるように
出口のない迷路はない いつか光見えるよ
陽(ひ)が昇るよ さあ走り出そう
山は萌えて河は流れ 力をくれる
陽(ひ)が昇るよ さあ胸をはって
輝いてる 君へのDaybreak
(※くり返し)
The song "Daybreak" by 和田光司 celebrates the endless possibilities of life and the pursuit of one's dreams. In the opening lines, the lyrics speak about the power of the wind to move the horizon, and the infinite trajectory of a person's life towards their aspirations. The verses go on to talk about the singular nature of truth; that there is not just one true path, but rather each individual has their own unique trajectory towards their dreams. The lyrics encourage raising one's voice to call out their own name, as a symbol of the unyielding hope that drives them forward.
Central to the song is the concept of "Daybreak". The lyrics describe the arrival of this magical time as a moment to take flight, and the opening of the fist as a metaphor for unleashing one's potential. The singer urges the listener to be confident in their journey, even in the face of hardship or doubt. He speaks of the freedom of soaring above the clouds in pursuit of our dreams, and that even when we stumble, we must continue on our path.
Overall, the song is about letting go of our fears and doubts, and seizing the moment to pursue our dreams. The lyrics are a call to action, and a reminder that each day is a new opportunity to start again.

Eng and romaji lyrics ❤️:
Atsui kaze maki okoshite Chiheisen ga yurete iru
Mugen no kiseki wa haruka
Shinjitsu wa hitotsu ja nai Kimi dake no houbutsusen
Yume no katachi ni egakunda
Koe agetemo nando demo Kimi no na o sakebou
Mayoi wa nai urei mo nai Kibou dake ga mieru yo
Yoake ga kuru Saa tobi tatsu toki
Nigiri shimeta kobushi no naka Pawaa ni afure
Yoake ga kuru Saa hajimaru toki
Habataiteku Kimi kara Daybreak
Susumu beki basho e mukai Oozora o tsuki nuketeku
Odoru you ni hanayaka ni
Korondara tachi agatte Kimi wa mata tsuyoku naru yo
Kaerarenai omoi o mune ni
Kuyashikerya nakeba ii Mata waraeru you ni
Deguchi no nai meiro wa nai Itsu ka hikari mieru yo
Hi ga noboru yo Saa hashiridasou
Yama wa moete kawa wa nagare Chikara o kureru
Hi ga noboru yo Saa mune o hatte
Kagayaiteru Kimi e no Daybreak
Yoake ga kuru Saa tobi tatsu toki
Nigiri shimeta kobushi no naka Pawaa ni afure
Yoake ga kuru Saa hajimaru toki
Habataiteku Kimi kara Daybreak
The hot wind is lighting a fire and the horizon is wavering
Never ending miracles are far away.
There's not only one truth so draw the shape
Of your dream as your own parabola.
I'll raise my voice and yell out your name
Without hesitation, with no grief; I can only see hope.
The dawn is coming, it's time to fly away.
Power is flowing from my clenched fist.
The dawn is coming, it's time to start.
I'm wavering because of you, Daybreak.
Across from the place we have to get to, the moon has come out in the sky.
Like a dance, brightly
If you fall down and stand up, you'll become stronger.
Unforgettable memories settle in my heart.
It's alright if it's disappointing, you'll still smile.
There's no labyrinth without an exit; someday you'll see the light.
The sun is rising so start running.
The mountain is burning, the river is flowing, and I'll give you the power.
The sun is rising so stretch out your heart.
Shining down on you, Daybreak.
The dawn is coming, it's time to fly away.
Power is flowing from my clenched fist.
The dawn is coming, it's time to start.
I'm wavering because of you, Daybreak.
