曲がりくねった道の先に
待っている幾つもの小さな光
まだ遠くて 見えなくても
一歩ずつ ただそれだけを 信じてゆこう

全てを愛せなくても ありのままの心で
何かをただ一つだけ
愛し続けてる人 その誇らしげな顔には

何にも負けないほど大きな
優しさが溢れ出してる

曲がりくねった道の先に
待っている幾つもの小さな光
まだ遠くて 見えなくても
一歩ずつ ただそれだけを 信じてゆこう

握りしめた手のひらじゃ 何にも掴めやしないと
開いた指のすき間から
いつか手にしたままの 夢や憧れの種が

僕にだけ気付いて欲しそうに
明日へと芽を出してる

逃げ出してた昨日よりも
ぶつかりあった今日に こぼした涙

立ち止まった自分を連れて
夢見てたあの日の僕に 会いに行こうか

曲がりくねった道の先に
待っている幾つもの小さな光
まだ遠くて 見えなくても
一歩ずつ ただそれだけを
正しさという狭い出口を
くぐれない想いが僕を奮い立たせる

振り返れば ただまっすぐに
伸びていた 今日までを辿る足跡
曲がりくねった道の先に
夢見てた あの日の僕が待っているから

Magarikunetta michi no saki ni
Matte iru ikutsumo no chiisana hikari
Mada tookute mienakutemo
Ippo zutsu tada sore dake wo shinjite yukou

Subete wo ai senakutemo ari no mama no kokoro de
Nanika wo tada hitotsu dake
Ai shitsuzukeru hito sono hokorashige na kao ni wa

Nannimo makenai hodo ookina

Nigirishimeta tenohira ja nannimo tsukameyashinai to
Hiraita yubi no sukima kara
Itsuka te ni shita mama no yume ya akogare no tane ga

Translation

 

It's still too far for me to see
But I'll take one step at a time, just believing in that

Even if you can't love everything, just love one thing
With an honest heart
In the proud face of the one I've loved for so long

There overflows a tenderness
Greater than anything

So many small lights await
At the end of the winding road
It's still too far for me to see
But I'll take one step at a time, just believing in that

You can't grab anything with clenched fists
So I open my hands
And in the cracks between my fingers are the seeds of hopes and dreams

Sprouting towards tomorrow
As if they want me to notice them

I'll take today's tears of conflict
Over the yesterdays of running away

I'll pull myself along when I stand still
And go to meet the me who was dreaming that day

So many small lights await
At the end of the winding road
It's still too far for me to see
But I'll take one step at a time
Through the narrow door of righteousness
This inescapable love cheers me up

Looking back, my footprints
Stretch out in a straight line to today
At the end of the winding road
The me who was dreaming that day is waiting
