**Japanese Lyrics**
果てしない道 過ぎて行く景色

寂しく光る夜空

どれだけ記憶辿っても

足踏みしているだけ

遥かな夢 積もる雪

あの日途切れた足跡

どこへ行っても

見つからない

答えばかり探し続けてた

闇の中を当てなく彷徨う

僕に届くまで

君の声を

響かせてほしい

行き場をなくしたまま

途方に暮れていても

手を差し出す

君がいるから

決して消えない

その光をいつまでも

輝いていて Brighter

無数の星の下

火を灯して Brighter

この季節を彩るように

一筋の光を照らしてよ

眩しいほどに

You're shining Brighter

全部君で満たされていく

勇気を出して

踏み出してみるよ

少しずつでも

歩いてみるよ

忘れかけた

温かな君のぬくもりが

凍りついた

心まで溶かしてくれた

このまま君と手を繋いで

光の差す方へ

闇の中を当てなく彷徨う

僕に届くまで

君の声を

響かせてほしい

辛さや悲しみも

超えていけるさ

決して消えない

その光をいつまでも

輝いていて Brighter

無数の星の下

火を灯して Brighter

全部君で満たされていく

I'm shining bright when I'm with you

I see the lights

近づいた距離

僕らの心が

ひとつになれば

奇跡を起こすから

輝いていて Brighter

無数の星の下

火を灯して Brighter

この季節を彩るように

一筋の光を照らしてよ

眩しいほどに

You're shining Brighter

全部君で満たされていく

**Translation**
On this endless road, the scenery passes by

The night sky shines lonely

No matter how much I trace my memories

I don't make any progress

The distant dream, the piling snow,

And the footprints that stopped that day

No matter where I went

I couldn't find it

But I kept searching only for answers

I wander aimlessly in the darkness

Until it reaches me,

I want you voice

To resonate

Even though I'm at a loss

With nowhere to go

You're here

Reaching your hand out

Your light

Will never disappear

Stay shining brighter

Under the countless stars

Light the fire brighter

Like it's coloring this season

Shine a ray of light

So that it's dazzling

You're shining brighter

Everything is being filled with you

I muster the courage

To take a step

Even little by little

I try to walk

Your warmth

That I had forgotten

Has melted me

Down to my once-frozen heart

I'll hold hands with you like this

Toward where the light shines

I wander aimlessly in the darkness

Until it reaches me,

I want you voice

To resonate

Even pain and sadness

Are things I can overcome

Your light

Will never disappear

Stay shining brighter

Under the countless stars

Light the fire brighter

Everything is being filled with you

I'm shining bright when I'm with you

I see the lights

Our distance is closing

If our hearts

Become one

It'll make a miracle

Stay shining brighter

Under the countless stars

Light the fire brighter

Like it's coloring this season

Shine a ray of light

So that it's dazzling

You're shining brighter

Everything is being filled with you
