To be one
Koda Kumi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

生きていればいろいろあるけど
思い通りにいくわけがない
わかる気もしなくないけれど
それ以上なにも変わらない
ひとりでいれば 誰でも
悪い方ばかり考えるから
それより部屋を飛び出し
すぐにおいでここにいるから
To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
閉ざされたはずの心が
歌うことでほどかれたら
いつのまにか笑顔こぼれてる
To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
考えすぎてた自分が
踊り明かしているうちに
生まれ変われるような気になれる

明日の朝 夜が明ける頃
きっと違う そうキミがいるはず
七色の空を見上げて
越えられる気がしているはず
迷い悩んだ時間で
知らず知らずに強くなれるもの
いつかどこかで振り向き
笑い飛ばせる日が来るから
To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
つらい事はいくらもある
それを乗り越えていくため
夢中になれる いまを抱きしめて
To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
わたしならここにいるから
おなじ瞬間を感じて
一つになる それでわかるから

To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
閉ざされたはずの心が
歌うことでほどかれたら
いつのまにか笑顔こぼれてる
To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
考えすぎてた自分が
踊り明かしているうちに
生まれ変われるような気になれる




To be one
Keep on singing, dancing and smiling
