REMEMBER
澤野弘之 Lyrics

(Wow-oh-oh-oh, wow-oh-oh-oh)
The opening chorus of the song.

手を止めた一秒で変わるはずないと
Just because you stopped for a single second doesn't mean everything has to change.

気を緩めた後ろで連れ添う音が逃げていく oh, oh
When you let your guard down, the sounds of people leaving will escape you.

君は黙って見ていた 破けたページの所為で先が読めないように
Because of the torn pages, you cannot see what is yet to come.

このまま一つの物語抱いて エンドロール見返してても人が過ぎていくだけ
Even if you cling to a single story and look back at the end credits, people will still move on.

大人の言い訳にもたれ掛かる前に remember
Before you use the excuses of adults to lean on, remember...

Let it shine! I will never give it up
The singer wants to let their talent shine and will never give up on it.

All the spirit is gonna let it fly

強がった日の言葉が錆びた夢の体をまだ支えている

Running circles around what is mine

I'm getting closer as I move in time
