遥か遠くに浮かぶ星を

想い眠りにつく君の

選ぶ未来が望む道が

何処へ続いていても

共に生きるから

ずっと昔の記憶

連れられて来たこの星で君は

願い続けてた

遠くで煌めく景色に

飛び込むことが出来たのなら

一人孤独な世界で

祈り願う

夢を描き

未来を見る

逃げ出すよりも進むことを

君が選んだのなら

誰かが描いたイメージじゃなくて

誰かが選んだステージじゃなくて

僕たちが作っていくストーリー

決して一人にはさせないから

いつかその胸に秘めた

刃が鎖を断ち切るまで

ずっと ah

共に闘うよ

決め付けられた運命

そんなの壊して

僕達は操り人形じゃない

君の世界だ 君の未来だ

どんな物語にでも出来る

逃げる様に 隠れる様に

乗り込んで来たコクピットには

泣き虫な君はもう居ない

いつの間にかこんなに強く

これは君の人生

(誰のものでもない)

それは答えなんて無い

(自分で選ぶ道)

もう呪縛は解いて

定められたフィクションから今

飛び出すんだ

飛び立つんだ aah

誰にも追いつけないスピードで

地面蹴り上げ空を舞う

呪い呪われた未来は

君がその手で変えていくんだ

逃げずに進んだことできっと

掴めるものが沢山あるよ

もっと強くなれる

この星に生まれたこと

この世界で生き続けること

その全てを愛せる様に

目一杯の ah

祝福を君に

As you are now thinking of that star, so remote

You're dozing off to be sleeping through with a thought

And the future you decide

The way you want to stride

Wherever you choose to set off, to go

Together, I'll be there by you

You hold old memories, asleep in you

You then were taken afar so young to this star

Deep inside, the growing wish held it tight

Over there, a scenery that's glittering

If you could only jump and land in the globe you sight

It's only you, so lonely in this domain

Invoke and desire

Dream and hope you're drawing

As you see the future

And if you choose to keep on marching on

Instead of running off

And cleared of any doubt

Not to be part of those images someone paints

Not advancing in that show, chosen by someone else

You and I, ally to write our story

Will never let you be lone and be gone from your side

Hidden out in your chest, and the day will come

When your blade will be cutting all those chains

Unbound restraints

At all times, together we'll be fighting on

Brought up in this predetermined fate

Go ahead and crush it

Breaking free, we never were some puppets to start with

See, your realm ignites now

Your future to shine bright

Unbound possibilities, make it what you want to

As to scoot, holing up as you ran up to me

So, you climbed up in the cockpit and stayed inside

That kid in scenes left in the past, no more to cry

Before I realized, you grew to be powerful

It's your life, your story, your way

And it's not owned by anybody

And it has no answer that is right

Up to you to walk the route you point at

Now the spell is broken

And as we're now about to part with that fiction, defined

It's time to fly out to take off right now, ah

At a pace no one can attain, I speed away

Kicking up the ground, soaring up the sky with you

Covering the future, that curse to grip tight

As you are changing it by using your own might

And by choosing not to run off, but to stride on

You extended the scope of all things you can reach out for

Grow to become so powerful

And on this planet, you were made to be born

To keep on living in this world, as time is flowing on

And so, you'd love it all, so you would treasure it

May all blessings find their way to you

I'm wishing it
