kaze ni michibikareru mama ni
utai tsudzuketekita keredo
omae wa doko ni iru no darou
omoi wo kasanetai   mou ichi do

sei naru namida ga nagaserete
arehatete yuku kokoro
kagirinai yasashi sa wo ima
kono te de tsukamu tame ni

COME ON   zettai   akiramenai saigo made
kitto   negai wa kanau hazu
sousa   attouteki   daiji na mono mamoru tame
motto   honki ni nare   LIKE A FIRE

yami ni tachitomaru tabi ni
aoi honoo ga yume wo yobu
ore wa doko made yukeru darou
yozora wo miagete   mai agare

doushite tsumi na ki monotachi yo
tamashii wo shuuteru no ka
daremo shiranai mirai he to
hikari wo tsunagu tame ni

COME ON   ningen   inochi tsukite hanare temo
zutto   kienai kono omoi
dakara   kaihou shiyou   mita koto mo nai tooku made
motto   jiyuu ni nare   LIKE A FIRE

sei naru namida ga nagaserete

kagirinai yasashi sa wo ima
kono te de tsukamu tame ni

COME ON   zettai   akiramenai saigo made

LIKE A FIRE…   LIKE A FIRE…   LIKE A FIRE…

Guided by the wind,
I continue singing…  but
Thoughts of wondering where you could be
Pile up in my mind… One more time

Heavenly tears overflow
A heart shattered
In order to grasp boundless kindness
Right now in these hands

Come on! Absolutely, do not give up until the end!
Keep that overwhelming desire to
Protect the things that are important
Become more serious – LIKE A FIRE

In that time when I am stopped in the darkness
A blue flame calls my dream
Wherever I may go
It danced as I watch over the night

How can it be that no one is without guilt
Yet our souls still shine?
For the sake of finding a light
I head to a future no one yet knows

Come on! Humans, even if our lives end
Forever, this thought will not disappear
So, let go of far off concerns not yet seen
Become more free – LIKE A FIRE

Heavenly tears overflow
A heart shattered
In order to grasp boundless kindness
Right now in these hands

  Come on! Absolutely, do not give up until the end!
Keep that overwhelming desire to
Protect the things that are important
Become more and more serious…

Come on! Humans, even if our lives end
Forever, this thought will not disappear
So, let go of far off concerns not yet seen
Reveal more of yourself
Become more free – LIKE A FIRE

Like a fire…   Like a fire…   Like a fire…
