chiisa na hana umare mirai ni hikari sasu
me no mae ni utsuru yuushi sono senaka
tatakau rekishitachi ga kizamareteiru
ima haruka tooi kanata tabidatsu senshi mitsumeta
Should I say goodbye kokoro no naka
te wo buri tsudzukeru wa Forever
egao yume kibou subete sono kage ni
kimi ga otta kizuato ga aru wasurenai
te ni ireta asu wo mamoru kono yuuki
tatakai no shuusoku ga motarasu kiseki
ima dare mo samayoi bito atarashii nanika motome
I should do for me aruki dasou yuushi omoidashite
Keep the faith!
yoru ga kite mata hi ga noboru kono hoshi datte uchuu no naka ayatsuraretaru
sadame nori koe ikiru imi shinjitsu subete kakushite
okurareteiru messeiji wo uketometai
ano senshi no you na sugata de I wish to catch the truth
Over the cry tatta hitori…
ima haruka tooi kanata mienakunatta senshi he
Thank you & goodbye koe ni dashite
siawase wo inotte Forever
A small flower is born; the light of the future glows
Reflected before my eyes: a gallant figure - that back
Engraved by a history of battles
Now far, yonder in the distance, I gazed at you, the soldier about to depart
Should I say good-bye?
Within my heart, I continue to shake your hand forever
A smiling face… a dream… hope…
In all that shadow, there’s the scars that you bore. It’s not forgotten.
This courage to protect the tomorrow that comes to you
The source which the end of the fighting brings about
Now someone, a person who wanders, seeks something new
I should do for myself. As I set out walking, I remember that gallant figure
And keep the faith!
Night comes then again the sun rises.
Even this star is manipulated in the universe.
It’s fate. Each birth has a meaning, a complete truth that is hidden
A message is being sent that I want to catch
Like that soldier, I wish to catch the truth
I’m through crying. I can do it myself.
Now far, yonder in the distance, to that soldier I can no longer see
”Thank you & Good-bye”, I raise my voice to say.
I’ll pray for your happiness… forever.
