Impossible
Shota Shimizu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is possible

あと一歩だけあと一歩だけ
踏み出す力が今欲しい
後悔したくない諦めたくない
僕らなら出来ると信じてる

壊れそうなんだ消えてしまうんだ

ここで動かなきゃ全て
あと一歩だけあと一歩だけ
そうやって今日まで生きてきたんだ

Nothing is impossible
もっと高く跳んでみせるよ
今はまだ届かなくても
Nothing is impossible
もっと早く走ってみせるよ
あなたが見てるから it is possible!

追いつきたくて追いかけてるんだ
ただぼーっと見てる訳じゃない
同じ舞台で同じ立場で
同じゴールを見ていたい oh, oh, oh-oh

Hey boys do it, hey girls do it
いつかそれぞれの場所で ooh
誇れるように笑えるように
今日を決して諦めない

Nothing is impossible
もっと高く跳んでみせるよ
今はまだ届かなくても
Nothing is impossible
もっと早く走ってみせるよ
あなたが見てるから it is possible!

そうだね答えは
きっと1つじゃない (everybody)
だから思うんだ "nothing is possible"
僕ら迷わないから

Nothing is impossible
もっと高く跳んでみせるよ
今はまだ届かなくても
Nothing is impossible
もっと早く走ってみせるよ
あなたが見てるから it is possible!

もっと強くなってみせるよ
今はまだ涙こぼれても
Nothing is impossible

Hey もっと強く生きてみせるよ
あなたが見てるから it is possible! it is possible!
