Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Umarete hajimete no hitoritabi wo shita
Oshiete kureta yo ne hitori nanka janai sa
Sekaijuu de ichiban mabushii hoshizora
Boku wo terashite kureru hitori nanka janai sa haa
Omoi kioku dakedo
Onaji kimochi dakedo
Hitomi wo tojita mama de
Kamisama ni onegai shita nda yo
Kinou no yami wo wasurenai youni
Mou ni doto kurikaesu koto nante nai youni
Sono mama de me wo samashite mirai e mukau
Kono inori wo kiite kureru hazu
Can you hear me now?
Nagai tabiji dakedo
Ima wa todokanai kedo
Onaji yakusoku dakedo
Yume no tsuzuki no mama de
Kamisama ni onegai shita nda yo
Kyou no sora wa hareru youni
Kumotta to shite mo son'nani nagaku tsuzu kanai youni
Sonomama de me wo samashite mirai e mukau
Kono inori wo kiite kureru hazu
Can you hear me now?
Sora no youni hana no youni kodomo no youni
Anata no hikari sore ga hito ni ashita no hikari
Can anyone hear me?
Kamisama ni onegai shita nda yo
Ashita no yume ga kanau youni
Mou nidoto ochikomo koto nante nai youni oh~
Sono mama de me wo samashite mirai e mukau
Kono inori wo kiite kureru hazu haa~
Kono omoi ga anata ni todoku hazu ahh~
Kono boku ni mo ashita ga kuru hazu
Can you hear me now?
Sono toki saigo no hitoritabi wo shita
Hitotsu wakatta no wa
Hitori nanka janai sa

The song "Inori" by Hemenway is a song about seeking guidance and strength from a higher power, in this case, "Kamisama" or God. The singer reflects on their journey through life, having taken their first steps alone and having been shown that they are not truly alone. They describe the beauty of the stars above, illuminating them and providing a sense of wonder and meaning. The singer acknowledges their memories and feelings, despite being far away from where they began. They then express their desire to not forget the darkness of yesterday, and to not repeat mistakes. They acknowledge that life is not infinite, and that they should make the best of the time they have.
The lyrics continue with the singer asking God to grant them a wish – for the sky to be clear, for their dreams to come true, and for them to not feel disheartened by setbacks. They express their hope that the light they hold within themselves will brighten the path for others, and that this light will fuel the fire of the future. They compare themselves to the sky, to flowers, to children, and they ask if anyone can hear them.
Ultimately, the song is about finding meaning in life, and seeking guidance from a higher power in order to make the most of the time we have. It speaks to audiences who may be feeling lost or alone, while also emphasizing the beauty and majesty of life, and the importance of holding onto hope and positivity.
