Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boku wa doko made chikazuketa n darou?
"Juunen go no mirai" kagayaiteru sugata wa
Koukai wa shinai jibun de egaita STORY
Fumidaseba yukute habamu "genjitsu"
Makenai to ima mune ni chikatta
Moyashite yuke jounetsu wo atsuku
Yume no tochuu de meguri au deai to wakare
Kimi ga oshiete kureta boku dake ga motsu chikara
Tachiagatteku n da yo nando tsumazuita tte...

Akirame wa shinai dare ni mo watasenai
Kono yume dake wa kakegae nai mono
Kuyashi namida nara gutto koraeta ano hi
Kodoku no kazu dake PLUS ni kaeteku STORY
Norikoete mo sugu aratana "genjitsu"
Kiri hiraite yuku mirai kono te de
Kokoro no oku mamoritai yume ga aru kara
Shinjite yuke oikaze ni notte
Mezasu basho wa tada hitotsu "kimi to waraitai"
Boku ni takushite kureta yume he tsunagaru hikari
Kimi wo tsureteku kara mada minu ashita he ima

Furikaeru to tashikana ashiato ga
Ikutsu mono nayami yorokobi de dekite ita
Kyou made ikita boku nari no akashi wa tsuyosa he
Mune ni kizami mae he fumidashiteku n da
Kokorozashita tsukamitai yume ga aru kara
Moyashite yuke jounetsu wo atsuku
Yume no tochuu de meguri au deai to wakare
Kimi ga oshiete kureta boku dake ga motsu chikara
Tachiagatteku n da yo nando tsumazuita tte...
