Lyrics
明けない夜なんてないっていうけれど 明けなくていいと そう思ってた
 * -|Kanji=

隠したい傷跡だって 忘れたい記憶もみんな 太陽は全部照らし出すから

流星をさがし 彷徨ってたんだよ あなたと出会う時まで

空に瞬くあの星が 繋いだ希望の道の先へ行こう もう迷わずに進める 暗い夜を超える祈りを追いかけてく

たとえまだ届かなくたって 伝えたいから 「ありがとう」 Ha

弱い心 人は闇に喩うけど 光がなんで正しいのだろう?

強く正しく輝いて 全ての闇が消えたなら どんな瞳も焼かれちゃうのに

優しい月夜に 泣いていたんだよ あなたの手を取る時まで

空に瞬くあの星と 願いが紡いだ夢の先へ行こう もう怖がらずに行ける 影の中にある強さを知っているから

例えまだちっぽけな自分でも 伝えたいから 「ありがとう」

やがて明けて消えてしまう夜でも 望まれもしない闇の中にでも 宝石よりきれいな希望があるよ 見上げてごらん 夜の星を

空を駆け抜けてく星と 確かに繋ぐよ希望の星座を もう迷わずに進める 暗い夜導く光を届けに行こう

たとえまだ届かなくたって 伝えたいから 「ありがとう」 akenai yoru nante nai tte iukeredo ake nakute ī to sō omotteta

 * -|English=

Even the scars I want to hide All the memories I want to forget 'Cause the sun lights it all up

Looking for meteors I was wandering Until I meet you

That star twinkling in the sky Let's go beyond the road of hope that connects us Proceed without hesitation I'm chasing a prayer that transcends the dark night

Even if it hasn't arrived yet Because I want to tell you "Thank you" Ha

Weak hearts are likened to darkness Why is the light right?

Shine strong and justly If all darkness disappears No matter what kind of eyes you have, they'll burn

On a gentle moonlit night I was crying Until I take your hand

With that star twinkling in the sky Let's go beyond the dreams that our wishes have spun I can go without fear Because I know the strength in the shadows

Even if I'm still small Because I want to tell you "Thank you"

Even if the night fades away Even in the darkness that is not desired There's hope more beautiful than jewels Look up at the stars at night

With the stars running through the sky I will certainly connect the constellations of hope Proceed without hesitation Let's go and deliver the light that guides us through the dark night

Even if it hasn't arrived yet Because I want to tell you "Thank you"
