Kibou no Sora e, To the sky of hope - Youko Takahashi

kanashimi ga kowashita
kokoro no    kakera wo
ryoute de dakishimete
ashita ni    obieta
Embracing the shards of my heart,
broken by sorrow,
with both hands,
I was afraid of tomorrow.
inoru koto de
subete ga   kanau nara
umareru mae ni    kaeshite
If everything
can come true with prayer,
take me back to before I'm born.
itsukara ka dareka no
kokoro mo    kowashite
ochite-yuku jibun wo
sagesumi    ikite'ru
For how long will I go on,
breaking someone's heart
and despising
my degenerating self.
kodoku to yuu
itami ga    mune wo shimetsukete
namida ga    koboreru
The pain called "loneliness"
makes my chest tighten
Tears overflow...
kioku no hako wo
ima sugu akete
setsunai kako wo
towa ni keshitai [1]
I want to open the box of memory
right now
and erase the painful past
for eternity. [1]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
arukidasu chikara ni
kizuita    toki kara [2]
nakushite'ta omoi wo
motomete    samayou
Since the moment I became aware of [2]
this power moving in me,
I wander around,
searching for the emotions I lost.
kizutsukeau
jidai wo    kakenukete yukeru
tsuyosa wo    ataete
Give me the strength
to pierce through this era
in which people hurt each other.
miageru sora ni
hirogaru ao ga
boku wo matte'ru
boku wo michibiku
In the sky I'm looking up at,
the unfurling blue
is waiting for me...
Guiding me...
itsuka   (itsuka)
kono te wa kitto   (kitto)
tsubasa ni natte   (natte)
kibou no sora e
Someday
these hands will surely
will turn into wings,
(taking me) to the sky of hope.
