Rei Yasuda - Message Lyrics

I agonizingly wrote a "message" - it was sudden, late at night, and addressed to you
Asking you to remember, just every once in a while, how I was always by your side

Even if you can't go on, even if you're full of regrets, move forward even as you're sighing
If you happen to believe in the future, even if you lose heart, don't forget...

After the tears, you will be able to smile
Even on the days you are stuck standing still and hesitating
You'll be able to feel how dear you are to me, so much that I want to embrace you
I'm sure tomorrow is waiting, so don't give up
One second, one second closer to your dream
We'll gaze at the light together

When we took that photo together, I wanted nothing more than to get close to you and felt a bit helpless about it
But we swore together that we had the resolve to lose something for the sake of our dream

Halfway up the slope it seemed futile, but the shivering, cold night makes us laugh
If you could have continued to draw it, even if you feel like your hopes are crumbling, don't be afraid

Your tears will dry, because I am here
I'll even lead you through the past you want to erase
There's entirely meaning to it, and now, all of it is here
So that the miracle will never be interrupted
One second, one second closer to your dream
Let's embrace our feelings tightly with both hands

I was there, grasping your hand tightly without letting go
But it's slipping, deep into the abyss of my memory
Let's follow it and walk once again

Each of your tears will only make you kinder
Even on the days you are stuck standing still and hesitating
Your footprints are certain, and there will be multicolored smiles
I'm sure tomorrow is waiting, so don't give up
One second, one second closer to your dream
We'll gaze at the light together
We'll gaze at the light together
