Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dakishimeta chikai
Sekai no hate e hibiite
Tooi mukashi no kodoku ni tamashi ni
Furisosoida
Nando demo mamori ni yukou
Sono kiseki ga kikoetara
Kurayami sae mo keshiteshimau koe
Zutto sagashiteta koe ga
Kono karada o kakenukeru
Tsunaida senritsu
Dakishimeta chikai
Sekai no hate e hibiite
Subete no mirai o
Kimi dake no tame ni
Dare mo shiranai tsuyosa o tsurete
Futari susumitsuzukete
Hitosuji no hikari no youni
Nando demo tachiagaru kara
Sono kiseki ga kikoetara
Doko mademo maiagare souna koe
Kokoro yobisamasu koe ga
Kono karada o kakenukeru
Yuraida senritsu
Ushinawanai chikai
Sekai no hate o mezashite
Subete no chikara o
Kimi dake no tame ni
Mune ni himeta negai wa itsuka
Kimi no tate ni naru kara
Daijina omoi wa
Kitto koko ni aru
Itsudemo kagayaki nagara
Te ni shita jiyuu de
Tokihanateru nara
Kako mo ima mo osorenai kara
Tsunaida senritsu
Dakishimeta chikai
Sekai no hate o terashite
Shinjita mirai o
Kimi dake no tame ni
Donna toki mo eien o koete
Futari susumitsuzukeru
