==Official Lyrics==
Original	Romaji	English	Unofficial Translation
いつからだろう　自分を忘れて
後ろに続く足跡
流されて　ただ歩いてきた
誰かの言葉に　縛られてたけれど
本当の気持ち　今でも　胸にしまっている
思い出そう　今
忘れかけた　その夢
私の心が示す明日へ
どうしてだろう　思いを隠して
これから進む道すら
私には見えない　光が
誰かの答えに　身を委ねてたけど
本当の気持ち　打ち明け　前を向いてみよう
思い出そう　今
諦めてた　その夢
私が希望を持てるように
迷った時　辛い時　心挫けそうにもなる
だけど　負けずに信じよう
私の　自分だけの道を
誰かの言葉に　縛られてたけれど
本当の気持ち　抱きしめ　私は歩き出す
思い出そう　さあ
道を照らす　その夢
私は　私を好きになれるよ

My earliest memory
Doesn't know who I used to be
I take a glance at the trail left behind
I trekked on and on
Living a world of influence
For what feels like eternity
I let their every word control me
But even now I hold close words of my own
Sentiments hidden away within
It's time to recollect again
The dreams I had almost forgotten
Then step towards another day
My heart will guide the way
Never meant to be revealed
Emotions always kept concealed
Lost in my tracks with no sign to pursue
Lingered in silence
Not one single beacon glows
For what feels like eternity
I let their answers cradle me
But now I'm going to disclose answers of mine
Heed my inner voice and face ahead
It's time to recollect again
The dreams I had almost given up on
Then I may learn to be brave
Thus keeping hope alive
Whenever we're lost
Whenever we're hurt
Times can be really tough
Hard to stay strong enough
However I won't give up and I will believe
Believe in this resolve of mine and mine only
For what feels like eternity
I let their every word control me
But now I'm going to embrace words of my own
This is where I will begin my life
It's time to recollect now
The dreams that sheds a light on my path
Then I may learn to love myself
A little more than before	
From when, I lost my self?
I was only following the footsteps of others
I was just walking their way
Despite I've been bound by the words of others
I still held onto my true feelings
Now, remember
The dream that you lost
I had shown my true feelings until tomorrow
Why did you hide away your true feelings?
The path from here
Is the light that I can't see
Despite I had been, entrusting the answers from others
My true feelings were all lit up, and you should see the way forward
Now remember,
The dream that you gave up on,
I felt like I am clutching unto hope
When I lost my way, when I was suffering
When my heart was torn, I just want to give up
But now, I Believe that I won't be defeated,
The path I chose, only for me
Even if I've been affected by other's words
I still held tight into my true feelings, and thus I moved a step forward
Now remember
The dream that guides you
And so, I've grown to like myself now.
