Motto hayaku..."Kimi no basho e" e...
Inoru koe ga kodamashi tsuzukeru
Itami tae susumu imi wo
Sagasu ima kasoku shiteku

(We are tossed by the waves of pain and tears
I'm tossed into the fray
Tossed by various fortune
Wake up your brain!
Flashed in the sky
It's a burst of sensation)

"Akirame" ga kureta anraku chintai no sekai
Itsukara datta darou?
Ware no koe mo wasureteta
Hiza wo tsuku boku ni kimi ga sashidasu keshiki
MONOKURO no asa ga fui ni kagayaki hajimeta

-Kawarazu ni ite to negau koto-
-Kawariyuku toki ni ikiru bokura-
Hontou no koe wo...
Ii enu yume wo...
Kimi to tsunagatta sora e hibikasete!

Motto tsuyoku... kono ryoute de
Namida subete furiharaetara
"Kondo koso wa..." tsubuyaku ima to
Kizu sae mo muda ni shinai
Itsuka kimi ga shimesu basho e
Usui hane ga yakare you tomo
Nou no oku de kuchi wo hiraku
"Shinjitsu " e kasoku shiteku

(We are tossed by the waves of pain and tears
I'm tossed into the fray
Tossed by various fortune
Wake up your brain!
Flashed in the sky
It's a burst of sensation)

Nani wo miteiru no? kokuu misueru hitomi
Rin toshita kata ga wazuka furueta kigashita

Chippoke de kiesou dakedo
