Welcome Home

Lyrics & Music: Yuka Kawamura
Arrangement: Tomohiro Okubo

A nostalgic intonation is overflowing on the subway platform
How long has it been since then? Time hasn't stood still
Within these days

When my heart was almost broken
I remembered this scenery, this scent, the me of that time

"No matter how far far away you are, come back anytime"
With all my strength, I'll spread both hands; there's a town waiting for me
"This place is a treasure" "That's why I can do my best"
I want to tell you that. I'll cry. A warm power is filling me up

I'm no longer afraid of the skyscrapers towering over everything
I still get nervous sometimes. I still haven't grasped anything in these hands

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry"
That reply has become a habit, even when in truth it's no good

"No matter how far far away you are, come back anytime"
With those words, I feel like I can begin to walk once more
"Even tears are my treasure" "A day when I can call them that will surely come"
Now I'll tightly embrace those forgotten feelings in my heart

I can still go farther!
There's no way I can't jump over this!
I believe it. I'll believe it, I'll always stare at it without changing

No matter
"No matter how far far away you are, come back anytime"
With all my strength, I'll spread both hands; there's a town waiting for me
Someday I'll shine brighter and brighter so that I can go home full of pride
My treasures are increasing in this new town

Welcome home
