Lyrics
Rōmaji
Mijika ni aru mono
Tsune ni ki wo tsuketeinai to
Amari ni chikasugite
Miushinatte shimaisou
Anata ga saikin taiken shita
Shiawase wa ittai nan desuka
Megumare sugiteite
Omoidasenai kamo
Ima koko ni iru koto
Iki wo shiteiru koto
Tade sore dake no koto ga
Kiseki da to kizuku
Mijika ni aru mono
Tsune ni ki wo tsuketeinai to
Amari ni chikasugite
Miushinatte shimaisou
Hitodasuke wo gizen to
Yubu yatsura mo iru keredo
Shijiru no mo utagau no mo
Hito sorezore dakara
Oitsuzuketekita yume
Akiramezuni susume yo nante
Kirei koto wo ieru hodo
Nanimo dekichainai kedo
Hitonigiri no yuuki wo mune ni
Ashita wo ikinuku tame ni
Mijika ni aru mono
Tsune ni ki wo tsuketeinai to
Amari ni chikasugite
Miushinatte shimaisou
Oitsuzuketekita yume
Akiramezuni susume yo nante
Kirei koto wo ieru hodo
Nanimo dekichainai kedo
Hitonigiri no yuuki wo mune ni
Ashita wo ikinuku tame ni
English
All that is near us
We must know
Could disappear any day
Be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul
You could reminisce; you could recall
The very last time you felt joy
Or maybe you are so blessed to a point
Where you can't remember anything
It's a harmony, a miracle
Being able to breathe and live at all
So here is your one and only chance
Life is an opportunity
All that is near us
We must know
Could disappear any day
Be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul
Some people may call a kind deed
An act of mere hypocrisy
But never mind those who have lost faith
You shouldn't give in to what they say
As a matter of fact, let me tell you
Even if it was for a selfish cause
A salvageable hypocrisy
Is superior to murderous honesty
Everybody tells you from time to time
To never give up like a phrase from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if was always that easy
Gather a handful of courage in my heart
To go on and survive another day
All that is near us
We must know
Could disappear any day
Be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul
Everybody tells you from time to time
To never give up like a phrase from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if was always that easy
Gather a handful of courage in my heart
To go on and survive another day
