Wish* Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Donna yume nara oikakeruno kimiga
Tsubuya kumi tai ni yuu tooi
Saki datta mirai wa ima sugu soba wo
Hashi ite yuku

Mienai koede saken deta
Kizutsu ita karada ima tokashi tai

Kono itami wa tada watashi wo kiri saite
Riaru na kenjizu wo uke tomeru tsuyosa dake
Yume no ketsu matsu wa kioku no kanata de
Ashita wo uranau inori ga todoku made
I pray every night and day

Ai no namida ga nagareru hodo kimi wo
Ai shitari kanji tari yume wo
Egaku niwa kono heya ja sema sugi te
Tame iki tsuku

Mienai koede saken deta
Kanashimi ga doa wo tatai teru kara

Nemure nai yoru wa ashita wo kiri saite
Toki no tabi hito ga kake nukeru haisa made
Yume no ketsu matsu wa kioku no kanata de
Ikusen no hikari negai wo kanae teru
I pray every night and day

Kono itami wa tada watashi wo kiri saite
Riaru na kenjizu wo uke tomeru tsuyosa dake
Yume no ketsu matsu wa kioku no kanata de

Ashita wo uranau inori ga todoku made
I pray every night and day
