Itsu no hi ka ima yori mo tsuyoku naritai
Tada hitotsu no negai mune ni saku honoo

[Yu/Saki] Nanimo deki nakatta hi ni mune no chikai wa umareta
[Miyu/Azuki] Kesshite mou nigedasanai to tada hitasura mae wo muku to
[Himi/Yuki] Kizutsuki taore mata tachiagaru akirame nado shiranu mono ni [all] haru wa nando demo

Kono saki ni nani ga aru mienakute ii
Ichizu na manazashi ga honoo wo tomosu yo

[Yu/Saki] Tatoe dare ni warawarete akire se wo mukerarete mo
[Miyu/Azuki] Shinji tsudzukeru michi ga aru tada massugu kaze wo kitte
[Himi/Yuki] Hara hara chitte mata sakihokoru inochi wo kakenukeru hana no [all] haru wa utsukushii

Mamoritai hito ga iru tsuyoku naritai
Dakara mou ushiro wo furimuki wa shinai

Haru wa maboroshi no you ni hakanakute azayaka de
Itsu no hi ka ima yori mo tsuyoku naritai
Tada hitotsu no negai mune ni saku honoo

Mamoritai hito ga iru tsuyoku naritai
Dakara mou ushiro wo furimuki wa shinai

いつの日か今よりも 強くなりたい
ただひとつの願い胸に咲く炎

何もできなかった日に胸の誓いは生まれた
決してもう逃げ出さないとただひたすら前を向くと
傷つき倒れまた立ち上がる 諦めなど知らぬ者に 春は何度でも

この先に何がある 見えなくていい
一途なまなざしが 炎を灯すよ

たとえ誰に笑われて呆れ背を向けられても
信じ続ける道があるただまっすぐ風を斬って

はらはら散ってまた咲き誇る 命を駆け抜ける花の 春は美しい

守りたい人がいる 強くなりたい
だからもう後ろを ふりむきはしない

春は幻のように はかなくて 鮮やかで
いつの日か今よりも 強くなりたい
ただひとつの願い 胸に咲く炎

守りたい人がいる 強くなりたい
だからもう後ろを ふりむきはしない

Someday more than what I am now I want to be stronger
This one sole wish ignites a flame in my heart

On that day when I was powerless to do anything an oath was born inside me
That I will never run away anymore and simply keep facing ahead

To those who don't know the meaning of surrender
To those who keep rising to their feet after getting knocked over the pain
Springs are eternal

What will come in front of me? But I don't mind if I can't see
This straight and forward gaze will burn my flames

Even if people laugh at me and turn their back at me when they are done
There's a path I believe in and simply cut the wind along

For the flower that transcends a lifetime
By returning to bloom every time their petals wither and fly around
A brilliant spring awaits

There's someone I need to protect I want to be stronger
That's why I will never look back ever again

Spring time is like an illusion
So fleeting yet so vivid

Someday more than what I am now I want to be stronger
This one sole wish ignites a flame inside my heart

There's someone I want to protect I want to be stronger
That's why I will never look back again
