Boku no ichibyou ga isshou no hikari ni naruMy single second becomes a lifelong light,
Nayanda isshun mo ima ijou o tsukurueven the moment I worried creates something greater than now,
Boku no ichibyoumy single second.
Wakitatsu kanjou ga hashiridasu hou eRunning toward where these welling emotions lead,
Mukaikaze kurattemo ashi ga sukundemoeven if I face a headwind or my legs freeze up.
Sousa madamada konnan de owareru teido no omoi janaiThat’s right, my resolve isn’t weak enough to end with just this much trouble,
Ki ga tsukeba mata kyou mo koko ni tatteruand before I know it, I’m standing right here again today.
Ano hi no koukai muda ni shitakunaiI don’t want to let the regrets of that day go to waste,
Ima shika mirenai yume egaitekuso I’m painting a dream I can only see right now.
Boku no ichibyou ga isshou no hikari ni naruMy single second becomes a lifelong light,
Nayanda isshun mo okusenbyou no irodori o tsukuru ippoeven a moment of worry is a step creating a billion seconds of color.
Ima ijou o ima ijou ni ima hoshikute agaita ima oWanting more than now, struggling for more right now in this moment,
Kurikaeshite boku no ichibyourepeating over and over, my single second.
Naitetatte choujou ja noborenai kedoCrying won’t help me climb to the summit, but
Kyou waratteru no wa namida no okagesathe reason I’m smiling today is thanks to those tears.
Kitto itami o shiru mono shika mienai keshiki ga aruThere’s surely a view only those who know pain can see,
Sore wa zutto chikara ni naruand that will be my strength forever.
Ugomeku kanousei dare no seiThese stirring possibilities—who’s to blame?
Hitsuyou dakara ataete kureteruI’ve been given them because they are necessary.
Boku no ichibyou ga isshou no hikari ni naruMy single second becomes a lifelong light,
Tsuzuita kattou mo boku dake no seikai o tsukuru ippoeven the conflicts that continued are steps to creating my own right answer.
Kitai ijou no shinario ni kitai shiteru dake ja kawaranaiJust hoping for a scenario beyond expectations won’t change a thing,
Tsumikasanete boku no ichibyouso keep piling them up, my single second.
Mae o mukeyo tte kantan ni iu na yoDon’t just tell me to ‘look forward’ so easily,
Sonna koto wa jibun ga ichiban wakatteruI’m the one who knows that best.
Todokanai no wa doryoku no chigai machigaiIf I can’t reach it, it’s a difference in effort, my mistake.
Kitto ugoku iya ugokaseruIt will surely move—no, I can make it move,
Sono ichibyou de sono ichibyou dewith that single second, with that very second.
Boku no ichibyou ga isshou no hikari ni naruMy single second becomes a lifelong light,
Nayanda isshun mo okusenbyou no irodori o tsukuru ippoeven a moment of worry is a step creating a billion seconds of color.
Ima ijou o ima ijou ni ima hoshikute agaita ima oWanting more than now, struggling for more right now in this moment,
Kurikaeshite boku no ichibyourepeating over and over, my single second.
Zutto yume made tsunagatte yukundaIt will keep connecting all the way to my dream,
Hitotsu hitotsu ashiato tsukurinagarawhile making footprints, one by one.
Zutto yume made tsunagatte yukundaIt will keep connecting all the way to my dream,
Kurikaeshite boku no ichibyourepeating over and over, my single second.
