ただその手を 握りしめて こごえる夜を 止められたら
Don¥t let go どんな人も皆 一人の夜 越えて やさしさおぼえる
Don¥t let go どんなに泣いても 光の朝 やがて おとずれるから
孤独を責めないで
笑ってよ あの笑顔 胸が叫んだ oh
Don¥t let go どんな人も皆 愛する人 想い 痛みをおぼえる
Don¥t let go どんな悲しみも 光の朝 全て 包んでくれる
誰かがただそばに 居るならきっと 淋しさは溶けてしまうけれど no
何かが違うと 気づいてたの もう一人になる事を おそれずに生きていきたいよ
Don¥t let go どんな人も皆 一人の夜 越えて やさしさおぼえる
Don¥t let go どんなに泣いても 光の朝 やがて おとずれるから
Don¥t let go どんな人も皆 愛する人 想い 痛みをおぼえる
Don¥t let go どんな悲しみも 光の朝 すべて 包んでくれる
Oh yeah oh・・・ oh・・・
The lyrics of Sugar Soul's "Don't Let Go" express the value of not giving up, even in the face of hardship and emotional pain. The lines "Don't let go, everyone experiences a lonely night, but they all remember the kindness" highlight the idea that everyone goes through difficulties in life, but those experiences also teach us to be more compassionate and empathetic. The lyrics urge the listener to hold on in dark times, promising that the light of a new day will eventually come.
The theme of the song is reinforced throughout with lines such as "Don't blame yourself for loneliness" and "Don't be afraid of living alone." The lyrics suggest that true strength lies in one's ability to keep going, despite facing emotional obstacles, and eventually, one will find love and happiness. The repetition of the song's title "Don't Let Go," reinforces this message of perseverance and hope.
