That moonlight that’s too bright
The commotion of the swaying forest
I’ll bring you to a colorful world

Carry on… carry on…

Waiting still, hoping for a push on the back
Pride is just in the way, just so troublesome

Though it always seems the same
The scenery is changing every second
The sky that day and the sky today
Do they seem the same shade of blue to you?

Your hand that I used to hold so tightly
I need to gently let it go
Or you can’t grasp anything, even that hoped-for brand new future
Surely, even the curtains in the black of night
Will be seeped with various colors
Even if you can’t see it, the music of stardust is always around you

If you’re guided by the fragrance of memories that won’t fade
Let’s make a detour sometimes, following those footprints

Blocked by thick fog
That even a compass can’t pierce
Just spread out that map
You’ve imagined, and progress onward

Your eyes are tightly shut
I need to gently wake you up
Or you can’t notice anything, even the sun’s smile melting into the sea
Surely, even water with the clearest reflection
Echoes with various sounds
Riding on the ripple’s rhythm, the wind whistles invitingly

Your hand that I used to hold so tightly
I need to gently let it go
Or you can’t grasp anything, even that hoped-for brand new future
Surely, even the curtains in the black of night
Will be seeped with various colors
Even if you can’t see it, the music of stardust is always around you

Carry on… carry on…

Why is it that my heart is pounding?
And my eyes sparkling so?
As I flipped open the picture book I found in the library that day, like in a dream

Gently, a nostalgic wind
Softly caressing my cheek
Surpassing sighs and slipping into a magical world

Hello, good-bye, to the world of falling stars
A fantasy for an angel who can’t fly
I still remember now, that password overflowing with love
Those small hands have always
Reached out towards the future
Once again, I know of you here, on this one page drawn with hope

From the seed of happiness given by the rabbit
One, two, three, four leaves
No need to grow big, each day’s furrows have bloomed surely

Dimly, hidden by clouds
A plump full moon
Blowing it away with a deep breath, and to the galaxy’s town, I say “I’m home”

Starting over, in a world that never ends
Unable to be honest, just hanging my head down
Please consider our existence once again
Because we have sorrowful courage
This wonderful day has come about
Overcoming sleepless nights, with a message shining with tears

“What do you love?”
“What do you want to be?”
Upon this lap of quivering memories
We spoke as if in a dream

Even when afraid to speak out
Just like back then
I’ll dream until morning comes

Hello, good-bye, to the world of falling stars
A fantasy for an angel who looked up at the sky
My heart filling up with that password overflowing with love
Those small hands have always
Held onto mine
Look, the light is shining steadily now
Towards hope, come, on this one page that has taken flight

Hello, good-bye, to the world of falling stars
Starting over, in a world that never ends
