千早

ねえ今　見つめているよ

離れていても

Love for you 心はずっと

傍にいるよ

もう涙を拭って微笑って

一人じゃない　どんな時だって

夢見ることは生きること

悲しみを超える力

歩こう　果てない道

歌おう　天（そら）を超えて

想いが届くように

約束しよう　前を向くこと

Thank you for smile

ねえ目を閉じれば見える

君の笑顔

Love for me そっと私を

照らす光

聴こえてるよ君のその声が

笑顔見せて　輝いていてと

痛みをいつか勇気へと

想い出を愛に変えて

歩こう　戻れぬ道

歌おう　仲間と今

祈りを響かすように

約束するよ　夢を叶える

Thank you for love

あどけないあの日のように

両手を空に広げ

夢を追いかけてゆく

まだ知らぬ未来へ

Ah

歩こう　果てない道

歌おう　天を超えて

想いが届くように

約束しよう　前を向くこと

涙拭いて

歩いて行こう　決めた道

歌って行こう

祈りを響かすように

そっと誓うよ　夢を叶える

君と仲間に

約束

La・・・・

Chihaya

Hey, right now I'm gazing at you,

No matter if we're apart.

Love for you, my heart is always

By your side.

Now it's time to wipe away your tears and smile.

You're not alone, no matter when.

To dream is to live;

The power to overcome sadness.

Let's walk down this endless path.

Let's sing, crossing over the sky

So that our feelings reach.

Let's make a promise to look ahead.

Thank you for smiles.

Hey, if I close my eyes, I can see

Your smile.

This is love for me, the light that

Softly shines on me.

I can hear that voice of yours.

It says "Show me a smile and keep shining".

As pain someday changes into courage,

Memories will change into love.

Let's walk down this path we can't go back on.

Let's sing with our friends now

In order to have our prayers echoed.

I promise. I'll make my dream come true.

Thank you for love.

Just like those innocent days,

Spread and raise your hands to the sky.

I'm chasing my dream

To the future I still cannot see.

Ah...

Let's walk down this endless path.

Let's sing, crossing over the sky

So that our feelings reach.

Let's make a promise to look ahead.

Wipe your tears.

Let's walk down this path we've chosen.

Let's sing

So that our prayers echo.

I softly swear that I will make my dream come true.

To you and my friends

That is my promise.

La...
