航路に迷うとき
君は笑っていた
目標に躓くとき
君に手を引かれた

代わるものはなく
ともに叶えたい
試練なら受けよう

あの煌めく街へ

音楽の神様
僕らを見守っていて
一万浬への夢を
絶やさないで

かけがえのない君の名前
何度も叫んでる
ねえ君この声聞こえたら

祈るようなこの思い
君に届いていることを
信じるこの歌信じる

紅く染まる空
渡り鳥の群
支えあって飛んでる
どこへ往くのだろう

君が灯した火を
僕ら護り続ける
答えは唄となり
君を求めている

かけがえのない君が
いなくなったこの世界は
時計の針が止まったままで

祈るようなこの唄を
再び歌える日のため
君の声を探してる

幾千の星と星
すり抜け彷徨い
僕らは巡りあったんだ

欲しがってる求めてる
僕らだけじゃない
強さや優しさを
この夢が求めている

かけがえのない君の名前
何度も呼んでいた
ねえ君早く帰ってこい

祈るようなこの願い
君に聴こえていることを

信じるこの唄信じる
またあの場所で会おうよ

Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics of "Pray" by Argonavis focus on friendship, perseverance, and the power of music to overcome challenges. The song starts with the singer thanking their friend for guiding them when they were lost and stumbling in their journey towards their dreams. The two friends vow to face trials together and carry on towards the shining city of their dreams, with the belief that the god of music is watching over them and won't let their dreams fade away. The chorus repeats the name of the friend and expresses the hope that their voice will be heard across the thousands of miles that separate them. The singer also sings about the beauty of the changing sky and the mystery of migrating birds, both of which reflect the themes of distance, movement, and endurance that run throughout the song. The second verse shifts focus to the absent friend, implying that they have left the world behind and that time has almost frozen in their absence. The singer reassures them that they are still searching for their voice and that they believe they will meet again someday in the same place where they started their journey. The bridge adds a note of universalism and social commentary, suggesting that the dream the singer and their friend are pursuing is shared by many people who need to come together and show both strength and kindness to make it a reality.
