|-|Official English lyrics=
Come and sing everybody let's sing
raise your hand in the air
I saw it in that dark street a bit of light wavering
the voice is singing there in its own 
this voice using the several centimeters of the lights he got and start singing
slowly wavering the light in front shines again
this several centimeters of the lights starts gathering the voices
maybe everybody has the same feeling as me
even if our names are different and we do not resemble each other
but because we are all here let's all be together
come with me let's go sing raise your hand 
Can you see it?
"We are all together you are not alone"
but i know the irreplaceable things and why
But can we go back and go find the things we lost
All the important dreams and memory 
keeps appearing in front of you eyes just can't give them up
Wherever you are i will always be myself
if it's like this to answer you if it an come true then it's ok
standing beside you the song i'm hearing 
that music is your friend
Want to believe that unseeable thing
that always can make my heart soft 
We can't always find reasons everywhere
Maybe its here
Then that is incredible as good as it can be
Come and sing let's sing a song put your hand on your chest
then that is already
"Because if you're not alone you can do it"
maybe you tried it before
keep hurting the people beside you
that unbearable feeling keeps coming out
so that i won't forget i keep it tight beside my heart
One day this will all disappear
But even so i want to be with everybody
maybe everybody has the same feeling as me
Heart filled with sadness but can't tell anybody
it's ok even if it's hard for me
Come and sing everybody let's sing raise your hand in the air
can you see it?
We are all here you are not alone
i know the irreplaceable things you see
Things that you seemed to lose are always inside of your heart
All the important memories and dream
Are always there for you just gotta grab it with your hands
Let's sing everybody come and sing
if we are all together then there is no problem
"Just start singing wherever you are"
"this will just make everybody know this song"
"The future you desire you see"
"it's in front of your eyes many are waiting for us"
"Look at us waving our arms"
"Let's all connect them together" My Future
Use your future as a goal let's move on
Using these hand extend them and come
Let's all connect them together
