LYRICS AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Motto Tooku e
     Farther Ahead

Motto tooku he ikitai to negatta
     I made a wish that I could go farther ahead
Tatta ichido umaretekita kiseki wa hakari shire nai
     The miracle that was born just once is immeasurable
Dakara dakara koso kowai no kamoshire nai
     That must be why, it must be why I’m scared
REERU ni nokkaru nomo mugen ni hirogaru jiyuu mo
     Of riding on the rails, scared of limitless freedom

Madaminu mirai kotae motomete mo
     Even if I seek an answer from the unseen future
Kumo wa chigirete kaze wa hoshi no ue wo fuki tsudukeru
     The clouds will scatter and the wind will blow above the stars

Dokomade itte mo GOORU wa itsumo
     No matter how far I go
Kokoro no oku ni aru mono dakara
     The goal is always deep inside my heart
Dono juujiro ga tsunagu mirai he mo
     So no matter what future these crossroads lead to
Me no mae no isshun ni subete wo sasagete
     I’ll look ahead, dedicate my all
Kake nukeru yo mada ashita wa
     And run through the path
Donna iro ni mo somatte nai sa
     Tomorrow has no colors yet
Kimi ni deaete boku wa yowasa to
     When I met you
Hajimete muki aeta mayoi no mukou ni
     I was able to face my weakness for the first time
Hikari wo motomete
     I seek light beyond the illusion

Ari no mama iki you to shite kizutsuku dake no hibi
     I wanted to live truthfully but the days just brought pain
Kimi mo boku mo gomakase nai omoi wo mune ni himete iru
     You and I both hold emotions in our hearts that cannot lie to us

Yume ni todokazu koi ni yaburete
     I couldn’t reach my dream as love tore me apart
Namida no soko no furueru kanjou ni kidzuita yo
     And found trembling emotions on a bed of tears

Nando datte yari naoseru
     I can try again and again until I get it right
Dakedo ima wa nido to ko nai
     But the present won’t ever come again
Kokoro no oku no tetsukazu no basho
     When I step into that untouched place
Fumikomeba itaku te namida mo ochiru kedo
     Deep in my heart it hurts so much that tears begin to fall

Susunde iku no sa jidai no sei ya
     But I’ll keep moving forward, if I could blame it on the times
Dareka no sei ni suru kurai nara
     If I could blame it on someone else
Mou ichido yume wo egakeru hazu sa
     Then I could start over and have a new dream
Aozora ni kirei na kimi no egao ga
     As if your lovely smiling face
Hirogatte iku you ni
     Stretched across the blue sky

Hi ga nobori atarashii sekai ga hajimaru
     The sun rises and a new world begins
Hyougen shi tsudukerunda
     I’ll keep on expressing myself

Ari no mama wo
     Truthfully

Akirame nai de sono kokoro ga
     Don’t give up, run through the path
Kimeta michi wo hashiri nukete
     Your heart decided on
Tsuyoi kaze ga fuita hi koso
     Especially on days when a strong wind blows
Dare yori mo hayaku tsuyoku utsukushiku
     Race through faster, stronger, more gracefully
Kake nukete yo yume no naka wo
     Than anyone else, inside a dream
Hikari no hou he yami wo saite
     Rip the darkness apart and head toward light
Kitto kotae wa hitotsu ja nai sa
     I’m sure there isn’t just a single answer
Arayuru zenryoku wo dukushite yuku no sa
     I’ll exhaust all the the strength I have in me
Motto tooku he
     And go farther ahead

Kimi to no deai wo dakishimete yuku no sa
     I’ll embrace the miracle of meeting you
Motto tooku he
     And go farther ahead
