The music was composed by Iwasaki and arranged by Iwasaki, Yuta Bandoh, and Ludvig Forssell, and the song was performed by Nakamura in Japanese, and Kylie McNeill in the English version respectively.

**[Verse 1]**
きらめきの花 夢の宝石
世界は美しい

臆病と不安 縛られるけど
強く優しく なれたなら

**[Pre-Chorus]**
あの空は 戻らない
ひとりでは 生きられない

**[Chorus]**
あいたい もう一度
胸の奥 ふるえてる

ここにいるよ とどいて
はなればなれの 君へ

**[Post-Chorus]**
目を閉じた時にだけ
会えるなんて 信じない

あいたい
はなればなれの 君へ

**[Verse 1]**
Sparkling flowers and dreamy jewels
The world is beautiful
No matter how my fear and anxiety held me down
I've become stronger and kinder through it all

**[Pre-Chorus]**
That same sky won't return
I can't live on alone

**[Chorus]**
I want to see you again, just once more
Trembling from the depths of my heart
I'm right here, so please hear me
Wherever you are, a million miles away

**[Post-Chorus]**
I don't believe that only when my eyеs are closed
Will I be ablе to meet you, it can't be
I want to see you again
Wherever you are, a million miles away

**[Verse 2]**
Let the song soar!
Everyone, even if you're sad, look on the bright side!
This world is all there is
With your downturned eyes, at least look at the sky
Stars are shining and the sun is rising
There are flowers blooming, beautiful.
Sing! Sing! Sing!

**[Outro]**
I'll sing forever
I'll sing on, I love you, forever and ever

**[Verse 1]**
Light glimmers in a flower
Like jewels in a dream
The sky breathes life, love to everything

At times I've thought "I'm not enough"
The chains that tie my heart
But there's still a path that lies ahead for you and I

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Memories fade away, clouds of yesterday
With no one to love
Is this life worth living?

**[Chorus]**
Come back to me, and stay by my side
I feel my heart shake. Come, ease this ache

I'm standing over here, reaching for you
A million miles away, come back and stay

**[Post-Chorus]**
No matter how far the memories may be
When I close my eyes, you're all that I see

Come back to me
A million miles away, come back and stay

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la

**[Verse 2]**
Sing, let your heart soar! Sing forever!
Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over, now
Our world is full of all kinds of colors
Closing my eyes I still can see the stars
Shine in the sky, sing their harmony
Flowers, they’re blooming, oh it’s beautiful
Sing! Sing! Sing!

**[Outro]**
Sing this song, I won’t stop now
Sing it through, I love you
The voice carries on
