水樹奈々 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

星が空へ散らばる時は
心うずく満月夜
風が街へ彷徨う時は
一人孤独噛み締めるよ
運命なんてこの瞳閉じれば
過去も今もその未来も一つ
Naked soldier
どうかこの世界だけ

全てを懸けて守りたいよ
この声が少しでも届くなら
足を止めて
明日へ向かう闇を消す光
誰もが皆寄り添う度に
少し安堵分かち合うよ
現実だって受け入れる勇気で
共に歩む道がきっと見える
Naked soldier どうかこの世界だけ
命を賭して守り抜くよ
この声が少しでも届くなら
目を覚まして
夢の途中差し込むの光

ねぇ君は感じるこの蒼い鼓動を
I feel so more
ねぇ君は聞こえるこの僕の囁き
I feel so heart
Naked soldier どうかこの世界だけ
全てを懸けて守りたいよ
この声が少しでも届くなら
足を止めて
明日へ向かう闇を消す光

夢の途中差し込むの光
明日へ向かう闇を消す光 ...
