The thing which everyone desires and is searching for,
“it” exists sometime in the future.
You and I, that’s what we believe.
But, how many people actually realize
that “it” may actually exist in the past?
I can’t even guess

Yes, I saw the end of an era
With my own eyes
But I didn’t want to know
That it will be my turn next

Yes, I’ll try to say it a little more plainly
“It” just helps us to connect
And line up our memories
But if so, that means that you and I,
we all already have “it”?
Please understand that

Yes, I saw the end of an era
With my own eyes
And, in truth, I already know
That it will be my turn next

You will find “it”, because you are you
You will find “it”, because you are you
I believe it, I’ll bet on it

Yes, I saw the end of an era
With my own eyes
But I didn’t want to know
That it will be my turn next

Daremo ga sagashite hoshigatteiru mono
“Sore” wa itsuka no mirai ni aru to
Boku mo minna mo omoi kondeiru yo ne
Na no ni ne masaka kako ni aru da nante
Ittai dore hodo no hito kizukeru darou
Yosou mo tsukanai

Tashika ni hitotsu no jidai ga owaru no wo
Boku wa kono me de mita yo
Dakedo tsugi ga jibun no ban datte koto wa
Shiritaku nakattan da

Sou de ne mou sukoshi kami kudaite mite
Tsutaeta nara “sore” wa kioku wo
Tada tsunagete narabeta dake tte koto ni
Naru yo ne da toshita nara daremo ga minna
Shiranai uchi ni te ni shiteiru no darou kara
Kizuite hoshii yo

Tashika ni hitotsu no jidai ga owaru no wo
Boku wa kono me de mita yo
Soshite tsugi wa jibun no ban datte koto mo
Shitteiru hontou wa

Kimi nara mitsukete kureru darou
Kimi nara mitsukete kureru to
Shinjite kakete miru yo

Tashika ni hitotsu no jidai ga owaru no wo
Boku wa kono me de mita yo
Dakedo tsugi ga jibun no ban datte koto wa
Shiritaku nakattan da

誰もが探して　欲しがっているもの

「それ」はいつかの　未来にあると
僕も皆も　思い込んでいるよね
なのにねまさか過去にあるだなんて
一体どれ程の人間気付けるだろう
予想もつかない

確かにひとつの時代が終わるのを
僕はこの目で見たよ
だけど次が自分の番だって事は
知りたくなかったんだ

そうだねもう少し　噛み砕いてみて
伝えたなら「それ」は記憶を
ただ繋げて　並べただけって事に
なるよねだとしたなら　誰もが皆
知らないウチに手にしているのだろうから
気付いて欲しいよ

確かにひとつの時代が終わるのを
僕はこの目で見たよ
そして次は自分の番だって事も
知っている本当は

君なら見つけてくれるだろう
君なら見つけてくれると
信じて賭けてみるよ

確かにひとつの時代が終わるのを
僕はこの目で見たよ
だけど次が自分の番だって事は
知りたくなかったんだ
