林原めぐみ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

終わりはしない
晴れ渡る空から
落ちるとおり涙
流れてゆく雲に追いつけなくって
旅立ちの先には新しい出会い
でも流されてるようで
落ち着かなくって
それでもこの瞬間に

全てが終わる訳じゃない
そうでしょ
あきれる程悩み抜いて
出ない答え今はいらない
ほら本当はあきらめていない
まだまだ行こう
終わりはしない一緒に行こう
覚悟決めてね

赤いテールランプ何処までも続く
ブレーキ踏みすぎて
思考が渋滞
それでもどんな道でも
信じる先に生まれるものでしょ
あきれる程くり返して
やっと出会える奇跡もあるの
リアルな問題山積みでも
逃げはしない隠れもしない
あせらず行こう
自分の人生を

We gonna make a revolution
あきれる程悩み抜いて
出ない答え今はいらない
ほら本当はあきらめていない
まだまだ行こう

終わりはしない一緒に行こう
覚悟決めてね
