The Song

Lyrics: TAKUYA∞
Music: UVERworld
Arrangement: UVERworld & Satoru Hiraide

It's like a single leaf flowing on the riverside, isn't it? Within the common days, I only saw it like that
It's not something that'd be a novel, but I've dreamt of loves and partings
Many things slipped through these hands, and I didn't part with only one thing

Because I was trying to get something, I didn't get anything. Days like that continued on

Everything in our hands was ordinary. There was nothing special
Realizing the regret of always arriving a little late, we were afraid
The things we got from a reckless ten years are the transience of a ten years that pass away in an instant
We kept walking, "It can't be over yet here"
Hoping the ordinary days would change into something special

In time, all our great effort will be rewarded. That's what I felt
In time, it seemed like the work of piling up a bunch of meaningless sand
What's true strength? What's true weakness?
Why do I need eternal love? In a life a hundred years from now

Why are we given youth and then robbed of it?
In the end, we don't know, but

With just singing and shouting our purpose, we felt a passion so much we shivered
I don't know what all the time that passes us by equally is, but
How much will the things we got from the ten years we lived passionately change people?
I don't need any of other's understanding and reasons
Just that sense invigorates our souls and we keep living on

There are no possible excuses anymore
There are fewer guys who can fight in perfect condition
More or less, wounds can't be helped
Even so, we've been robbed of so many very important things

But I can't yet part with them. No matter what unprecedented tragedy happens
Love, dreams, ideals, hopes... Remember how wonderful those are

Even if the limit that fate and our ability decided is here in this left over time
We don't plan on abiding by it. We don't need understanding or reasons
Just this sense invigorates our souls and we keep living on

Kawabe ni nagareru ichimai no happa mitai da ne heibon na hibi no naka sonna fuu ni shika miete nakatta
Shousetsu ni naru you na mono ja nai ga koi mo wakare mo yume mo mite kita
Ikutsumo kono te kara surinuke hitotsu dake hanasanakatta

Nanika eta tsumori de nanimo echai nakatta sonna hibi ga tsudzuite ita kara

Te ni aru subete ga arikitari datta tokubetsu na mono wa nanimo nakatta
Itsumo sukoshi okurete otozureru koukai ni kidzuki nagara obiete ita
GAMUSHARA na juunen kara eta koto wa isshun de sugisaru juunen no hakanasa
Aruki tsudzuketa mada koko dewa owarenai to
Arikitari na hibi ga tokubetsu ni kawatte yuku you ni

Toki ni subete doryoku ga mukuwareteru sonna ki ga shita
Toki ni subete no muimi na suna wo tsumiageru sagyou ni mieta
Hontou no tsuyosa towa nanika hontou no yowasa towa nanika
Towa no ai naze hitsuyou nanoka hyakunen sokora no inochi no naka de

Wakasa wo ataerarete naze ubawarete iku no ka
Kekkyoku no tokoro wakaranai keredo

Tada utau koto ya ishi wo sakebu koto ni furueru hodo jounetsu wo kanjita
Byoudou ni sugite yuku subete no jikan ga nan nanoka wakaranai kedo
Atsuku ikita juunen kara eta koto wa dorehodo hito ga kawatte ikeru ka
Dareka no rikai riyuu nanimo iranai
Tada sono kankaku de tamashii wo furuwase ikite yuku

Dekiru iiwake nante mou nai
Kanpeki na joutai de tatakaeteru yatsu no hou ga sukunai
Dainari shounari kizu wa shikata ga nai
Sore ni shitemo zuibun takusan no taisetsu na monotachi wo ubawarete shimatta kedo

Mada ushinau wake niwa ikanai yo donna mizou no higeki ga okitemo
Ai yume risou kibou sore ga donna nimo suteki na koto ka omoidashite

Nokosareta jikan sainou unmei ga kimeta genkai ga koko da to shitemo
Shitagau tsumori wa nai rikai riyuu mo iranai yo
Tada kono kankaku de tamashii wo furuwase ikite yuku
