My monotonous everyday life took on a new hue A part of me always wished for that to happen But when it actually did, I was too scared to act, that's a secret, okay Trembling alone, I miss you so much If only I could tell you that I'll always be on your side We could be invincible When we take flight, we'll do so together, we'll make a stand I don't want to go back to being the bumbling coward I was Every little thing will come together To give us great strength, that's how I feel right now It was always easy to blame someone else But tommorow will surely come around Perhaps I was too lazy, I'm sorry Further away, to a world of unknown If you say, "Let's go together" That's wonderful! Now's the time to proclaim, what happened being carefree? My urge is too much to control, there's no excuse for waiting Is there somewhere I should go? This is not the end, open the door of the unknown You can protect those dear to you Please gently wipe away my shimmering tears When we take flight, we'll do so together, we'll make a stand I don't want to go back to being the bumbling coward I was Every little thing will come together To give us great strength, that's how I feel right now I'll go with you to the end of the world Be close to me, no matter what comes With a radient feeling, I crossed the sky I won't lose my way, my heart still follows through
