supercell - Bokura no Ashiato Lyrics

Let's walk to the very end of this path
Holding the days we've had till now in our arms,
Let us walk
While we ask the other self that lies within our hearts from now on

We want to be like someone else,
But that just isn't possible
If we ever grow timid, the other self that lies within our hearts will tell us so

There is no way we'll be able to
Remain the way we are
Everybody has their own troubles
They complain, and they grumble
That's how they live their days through

For those of us who are used to being hurt by others, we know
That you can't just survive with kindness and feelings alone
But we still desire to live on as ourselves
We'll always walk on this path

Wanting definite strength,
Wanting to be recognized by someone,
Let's take it easy and whistle
While we search for the path where no maps lead to

Though we've also gained some things,
We lost much more than that
We continue to hesitate, and we're at a loss
Even so, we still pray for
Our future selves

For those of us who are unable to skillfully relay our thoughts through words alone
We remain silent since whatever we do will only sadden ourselves
However, we still want to be ourselves
No matter what, we'll still walk on this path

Through the repeating ceaseless pain,
Through repeating countless setbacks,
We move forward unsteadily step by step

For those of us who are used to being hurt by others, we know
That in reality, we can't help but desire to be loved by others
If we don't have the courage to admit to that,
Let's just stop hesitating and extend our hands
Precisely because we wish to remain as ourselves,
We should not just live with kindness and feelings alone
We walk on by enumerating our hopes and future
And we walk towards the yet unseen future
