嵐 (ARASHI)

Lyrics

[嵐「Believe」歌詞]

It's a brand new world

どこまで行っても　追い越せない
時が流れて行っても　消えはしない
さあ　どこまで行ったら　辿り着くの?
遠い日の記憶

夜明ける頃　空見れば　輝いていた　It's a brand new world
夢で見た　星一つ　見つめてる

繰り返すまま　重ねた日々に　なくした夢も　取り戻すから
嘘偽りの　世界はいらない　この手でつかめる

そう　僕らはずっと待ってる　いつまでだって待ってる
どこまでも続いてゆく道で
心にずっと抱いてる　この夢きっと叶うはず
泣いて笑って　進んでゆく

いつまでたっても　届かなくて
ふいに孤独を感じた　夜の果てに
なぜ　涙はこんなに　溢れてくの?
空に問い掛ける

どんなときも　情熱を　求めていた　It's a brand new world
行き先を　ただ一つ　照らしてる
You might also like傷つきながら　進んだ日々に　見つけた光　刻み込むから
誇りをけがす　未来はいらない　この手でつかめる

そう　誰かがきっと待ってる　伝えたくって待ってる
どこまでも続いてゆく道で
明日に向かって輝く　この夢ずっと追いかける
声をからして　進んでゆく

無限に広がってゆく　愛に触れたい
希望溢れているよ　君と僕
この胸に愛を　それぞれの愛を
生まれてきた意味を　確かめて

一体何をしているんだろう
一体何を見ているんだろう
一体何に生きているんだろう
“僕はもう…”　嗚呼もう　走馬灯のよう
小さいプライド守るため　誰かを不意に傷付ける
昨日も今日も今日もそうだろうが　今日は今日でどうかしよう

頭上に悠然とはためく　漠然とした夢を掲げ
この道の先はまだまだ見えず　失敗からしか何一つ学べず
空の向こう越えるための　この人生の抑揚
あの頃の未来向かい　時代に期待せずも進む my life

そう　僕らはずっと待ってる　いつまでだって待ってる
どこまでも続いてゆく道で
心にずっと抱いてる　この夢きっと叶うはず
泣いて笑って　進んでゆく
誰かがきっと待ってる　伝えたくって待ってる
どこまでも続いてゆく道で
明日に向かって輝く　この夢ずっと追いかける
声をからして　進んでゆく
This is the movement, looking for my life, I can find myself
This is the movement, looking for my life, I can find myself
This is the movement
