Japanese Romaji
Masshiro na keshiki ni ima sasowarete

Boku wa yuku yo mada minu sekai e

Maigo no mama tabi shiteita

nezumiiro no sora no shita

Higawari no chizu ikutsumo no yume ga nijinde ita

Itsuka wa sa chippoke na boku no kono hohaba demo

Ano kumo no mukou made yukeru kana

Tsuyogatte kizutsuita kokoro sukashita you ni

Furdashita amatsubutachi ga ranhansha kurikaesu

Massugu na hikari ga kousa shite

Yukusaki mo tsugenu mama dokomademo tsukinukeru

Awai zanzou ryoume ni yakitsukete

Kono sora no shita donna toko ni ite mo

Todoku hazu nanda mada minu sekai e

English Lyrics
Beckoned now by the snow-white backdrop,

I go into a yet unseen world

Lost as I traveled

under a gray sky,

with a different map each day, so many dreams ran together

I wonder if someday, even with my modest stride,

I'll be able to get beyond those clouds

Falling raindrops provide a persistent diffuse reflection

as though able to see into my heart, wounded for acting tough

Beams of light crisscross

and shoot on forever without announcing where they're headed

Faint afterimages burn into my eyes

Wherever I am under this sky,

I should still arrive at a yet unseen world

Trivia

 * This is the only song in the series that uses exact scenes from the show, i.e. Mei using alkahestry on the chimera.
 * In the English dub it is mistakingly labled as the first opening, "Again" by Yui, in the opening credits.
