Lyrics
Kanji & English
I believe so strongly
that tomorrow never falls away
月光した
It still awaits
it still carries on through its old ways
till this moment of time
あの時 交わした
言葉が鳴り響いて
ささやかな夢
There is no more darkness
no more tears in the rain
No one hurt...
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
繰り返す Soul Phrase (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
渡り行く 闇の先へ
I remember it so clearly
as if it have got up today
闇に旅した
I won't fail
I'll never forget even if it hurts
Until far off that day
あの夜 触れた
指先に今でも
ぬくもりだけが
There is no way to tear
any more feel sorrow
no longer look back
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
聞こえるよ SOUL PHRASE (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
走り出す 闇の先へ

Translated
I believe so strongly
that tomorrow never falls away
Moonlight
It still awaits
It still carries on through its old ways
till this moment of time
When it is exchanged
ringing words
their dreams
There is no more darkness
no more tears in the rain
no one hurt...
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
Repeat Soul Phrase (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
Go ahead over the dark
I remember it so clearly
as if it have got up today
As we traveled across the darkness
I won't fail
I'll never forget even if it hurts
Until far off that day
I can still feel the warmth
of your fingertips
from that night
There is no way to tears
any more feel sorrow
no longer look back
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
I can hear it SOUL PHRASE (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
As we begin to run across the darkness
-INTERLUDE-
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
Repeat it, SOUL PHRASE (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
At our destination across the darkness
Write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
I can hear it, SOUL PHRASE (I'm walking on my way)
Now write me an endless song (When you let go)
As I'll feel so alive
As we begin to run across the darkness
