Japanese Romaji
Ano hi kara zutto Nakanaito kimetekitakedo itami

wo kasanetemo Nanika wo yurusezu ni ita mou modorenai

Ikutsumo no hibi boku wa mada nanimo dekizuni Kimi no ita

kioku no kakera mata hitosu kieteyuku Kyou yori motto,

tsuyoku naritai Kono koe ga itsuka todokuyouni,

Arukitsuzukete Kaze ga yandara, kimi wo sagashite

sora miageruyo Yoake no saki ni hikari ga sasuyo

Niji ga kakaruyo...

English
Ever since that day passed,

I promised myself that I'd never cry,

But even while i hoarded up the pain,

there was something I

couldn't forgive myself for,

I'll never be able to return those days,

I'm still powerless,

I watch as the shards of memories disappear one by one

Memories of when you were still with me.

I long to become, stronger than I am now,

so that my voice will eventually reach you.

If the wind happens to stop in the midst of my long journey,

I'll look up at the sky in search of you.

Beyond the daybreak,

a ray of light breaks free.

A rainbow spans across the sky...

English - Full
I brought down hell on earth that day And ever since, I've given up the right to cry Even when I accept all the pain It's not something I can ever justify

Dreaming the laughter, the times I can't return to, Just reminds me of all that I've failed to do Yet another piece of all my memories with you Is fading to gray It's going away

(Chorus) And I want to find a way To be stronger than today So maybe, someday, you can hear me calling out to you If I walk another mile Maybe I can find your smile I'll look up to the heavens for you, sing alleluia I'm holding on until the light turns darkness into dawn

There's so much I've locked up inside I've only just begun to fight the truthful lies Though I'm starting to understand why I long for reassurance in your eyes

Ever unending, this road I'm on continues Oh it's empty without you, though the scenery's new I'm still clinging to the non-existence of you You're going and gone The time's running on

(Chorus 2) And I want to find a way To be stronger than today To let go of the losses for the sake of what I found If my teardrops turn to rain And I stumble through the pain I'll look up in the starlight for you, sing alleluia I'm holding on until the clouds are colored with the sun

(Bridge) All the mysteries are getting deeper You'd think growing up would make it clearer Every life is made of countless things that I can't comprehend All that I believe is somehow, far beyond the edge of sky, We'll connect at last, be as one again

(Chorus 3) And I swear I'll find a way To be stronger than today And maybe, someday, you will hear me calling out to you If I walk another mile I just know I'll find your smile I'll look up to the heavens for you, sing alleluia I'm holding on until the light turns darkness into dawn Clouds now colored by the sun
