見上げた夜空の星達の光
古（いにしえ）の思い願いが時代を超え色あせるコトなく届く
キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び
風に想いを月に願いを力ある限り生きてくんだ今日も
僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に光り続けようあの星のように

一つ二つ鐘の音は響く心の中へ広く深く
物語のような星の雫その中に細い線路を築く
時間とともに時代は動く流れる星は静かに動く
目を閉じて耳をすませばGood Bye

大空いっぱいの白黒写真なびくマフラー白い息
少しでも近づきてあの高台まで駆け足で
重たい望遠鏡取り出すとレンズはみだしたスターダスト
時間を奪われた時間時代を超えてくるロマン

放て光負けずにしっかり今時を越え誰かに届くまで
栄光の光はこの向こうにキミたちとつくっていくストーリー

見上げた夜空の星達の光
古（いにしえ）の思い願いが時代を超え色あせるコトなく届く
キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び
風に想いを月に願いを力ある限り生きてくんだ今日も
僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に光り続けようあの星のように

産声上げた小さな光大きな光時空を越え出逢い
すべての輝きが一つとなり作り出す物語
点と点を結ぶ星座のように誰かにとって僕らもきれいな絵描けてたらいいね
見上げたごらんよほら冬のダイヤモンド
ゆるやかな天の川すぐ勇気取り戻せるから

放て光負けずにしっかり今時を越え誰かに届くまで
栄光の光はこの向こうにキミたちとつくっていくストーリー

見上げた夜空の星達の光
古（いにしえ）の思い願いが時代を超え色あせるコトなく届く
キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び
風に想いを月に願いを力ある限り生きてくんだ今日も
僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に光り続けようあの星のように

この空は一つどこまでも広く
そう海の向こう今生まれる息吹絶たれる命
星は照らす女神のごとく
長く続く繰り返す春夏秋冬の
一瞬でもいい少しでいい思いを刻む
ただ果てなく時を越え輝きだす

物語は心の中で続いている
あの日の君はいつか夜汽車に乗って

見上げた夜空の星達の光
古（いにしえ）の思い願いが時代を超え色あせるコトなく届く
キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び
風に想いを月に願いを力ある限り生きてくんだ今日も
僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に光り続けようあの星のように

光り続けようあの星のように

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart
A legendary stardrop, inside it there's so many narrow paths etched out
With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound
Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"

A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath
Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there
Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust
Time after time, an epic from across the ages

Now that the light is released,
Surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time
Their shine became one, to begin a new story
Like a constellation that connects the dots,
why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone?
Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond
This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back

Now that the light is released,
Surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all and beyond the sea,
Right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off, while stars shine on, like goddesses
Continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter
Even a second is enough, just a moment is enough,
To engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the ages

The story goes on in the heart
The "you" of that day takes a night train

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

Let's shine on like that star
