Lyrics & Music: MAMI
Arrangement: Keita Kawaguchi

On the other side of the city that's about to burst in tears
Everyone's celebrating and laughing
Over the birth of new life on the TV news
I believe that even I
Can be reborn like this

Starting over
Doing it over again
Aren't easy, so
I'm a little worried
But, somewhere in my heart
I think I can do it well tomorrow

I can't stop, so I'll carefully
Imagine, and wait for the morning

When I open my eyes, a new me is here
I can draw anything from now on
When I step forward more lightly than usual
With my comfortable shoes, I can jump over anything
The ideals I imagined are more difficult than reality
But I can always make a new start

Since I was small, I've had a bad habit
Of my worries not disappearing for many years
I don't have any memories of taking a hit, but
Before I know it, I've been living with the bruises

Even it was a day
When I couldn't say, "Today was wonderful"

I'll set my alarm for a still unseen tomorrow
Hold my tears back, and dream
Even if the moon and stars are covered by clouds
They're illuminating this city as always
Even if the future I aimed for is different than the present
It'll be okay. I can still go anywhere freely

I'll believe in all of myself up to this point
And wait for the morning I imagined

When I open my eyes, a new me is here
I can draw anything from now on
When I step forward more lightly than usual
With my comfortable shoes, I can jump over anything
The ideals I imagined are repainting reality
I can always make a new start
