きっといま どこかで
あなたも同じ 空を見上げている
流れる 電車の窓
知らない 朝の景色
消えない あなたの声 目を閉じて 想う
ぶつかる 重い鞄
要らない 荷物の数 心配を 詰め込んで
I can't stop my love
寝ぼけたモノトーンの街を
I can't stop my desire
原色に心が 変えていく
Brand new days will love you
明日を引き寄せるように
駆け出す my soul 見上げる空の先へ
Brand new days will love you
この新しい世界に 新しい答え 探して
慣れない 指で開く
白い 手帳のなか
少ない 予定にある あなたの 名前
I can't stop my love
孤独な夜に試されて
I can't stop my desire
原石の心が 磨かれてく
Brand new days will love you
ほどいた髪 揺らす風
羽ばたけ my soul この空を翔けていく
Brand new days will love you

弱い昨日も 迷える今日も
遠い未来の 力に 変わっていくから

Despite the challenges and uncertainties they face, they cannot stop their love and desire for a brighter, more colorful life.

The song then talks about how the singer's desire for love and purpose grows and even tough lonely nights challenge them, it only polishes their passion. The chorus repeats the line that this day will love the listener, and they will be pushed to run towards the sky, leap into new answers in this new world.
