kibou no hana (flower of hope)

nanika ni tsumadzuitara dou yatte tachinaoru no?

kangaesuginai koto sa uwa no sora de kiiteita

chigireta kako ni ha hitotsu mo uso nante nakatta kedo

kore kara omou mirai ni shinjitsu ha aru no?

Should I ever trip, how should I get right back up?

It’s just a thought… I simply asked while absent minded…

There wasn’t a single lie in my shattered past,

but will truth lie in the future I envision?

umaretekita toki ha dare mo ga hitori da yo dakara koso

issho ni ikiteikou to suru ne

Everyone is born alone, and that is exactly why

we try to live together with others.

ano hi ANATA ni oshierareta ikiru tsuyosa ya imi wo

kono mune ni tsuyoku nigirishime

itsuka subete no koto ni chanto kibou no hana ga saku youni

kono basho kara himeyou

I firmly hold the strength to live and its meaning

that you taught me deep in my heart.

Let’s start here so from now on

everything will one day bloom with a flower of hope.

hontou ni daijina koto ha tsurai toki wakaru mono ne

motsureta NEKKURESU no youni hodokenai kimochi

We come to learn what is truly important during painful times.

They’re our emotions we can’t untie from… like a tangled necklace.

mawari bakari ki ni shiteita ne

aruga mama ikirareru koto koso ga

yorokobi to shitta

We were always conscious about what happened around us…

But living true to oneself is how

we found happiness.

akirameru koto ha itsudatte muzukashii koto janai arukidasu koto ni kurabetara

dakedo kokoro ni egaiteta yume no chizu ha azayaka ni nando demo kienai

Giving up isn’t difficult, as opposed to continuing walking.

But even so, the dreams we envision are vivid and will never fade.

tsugi no tobira akeru toki mata kono te ha kowagaru darou

sonna toki ni anata wo omou dake de tsuyoku nareru yo

These hand will shiver in fear when I have to open the next door.

During that time, when I think of you, I become stronger.

itsumo mite minu FURI shiteita yuuki to kodoku ga aru

tesaguri de ima taguriyosete

itsuka kokoro ni sakasetai yo kibou no hana wo sotto

anata to futari de

ashita kyou yori mo KIRAmeita egao de arimasu youni

kono michi wo tsuyoku kizamikomi

sukoshi mae ni susundemiyou manazashi wo takaku agete ima anata to

I always pretended I never saw anything. But there is courage and loneliness.

Fumbling around, I draw them in.

One day, I want to make the flower of hope in my heart gently bloom.

Together with you.

Hoping our smiles would be brighter tomorrow than they are today,

I carve this path deeply in my heart.

Let’s try walking forward bit by bit and keep our sight high.

kono basho kara hajimeyou

Let’s start, from here on.
