Sung by Seki Toshihiko and Hayami Sho.

見上げた夜空　流れる星は涙のようだい　
Miageta yozora Nagareru hoshiwa namida no youdai
地球を見つめ　静かに宇宙が泣いてるのだろう 　
Chikyuu wo mitsume Shizuka ni Uchuu ga naiterunodarou
争い合って 人々が生きてる 世界のために 　
Arasoi atte Hitobito ga ikiteiru Sekai no tameni

Looking up at the sky, the streaming stars are like tears;
Gazing at the earth, the silent universe is probably weeping;
For the sake of this world where each person lives in strife.

本当はきっと　誰もがみんなつながらてるはず 　
Honto wa kitto Daremoga minna tsunagarateruhazu
愛しい人も　遥かな誰かも　小さな子猫も　
Itoshii hitomo Harukana darekamo Chiisana korekomo
同じこの時　同じ星に生きる　奇跡のように　
Onnaji kono toki Onaji hoshini ikiru Kiseki no youni

The truth is that anyone and everyone would surely be connected;
Even a beloved, even those far away, even a young kitten;
At the very same moment, while living under the very same stars, just like a miracle.

どこへ　どこへ　人々は行くのか 　
Doko e Doko e Hitobito wa yukunoka
出来ることがあるのか　たった今　
Dekirukotoga aruno ka Tatta ima

Where to, where to, where are they heading to;
Is there anything they can achieve? Right now.

未来の鼓動　それは心にある 　
Mirai no kodou Sore wa kokoro ni aru
めぐりあう魂を　愛するために 　
Meguri au tamashii wo Aisuru tameni
誰もきっと一人ずつ　ここに生まれてる　
Dare mo kitto hitori zutsu kokoni umareteru
歩いて行こう　永遠の途中で 　
Aruite yukou Eien no tochuude
触れ合えた歓びをそうっと見つめ 　
Fureaeta yorokobi wo Soutto mitsume
時の向こうへと　光をつなげるためにただ　
Toki no mukou e to Hikari wo tsunageru tameni tada
前を向いて　
Mae wo muite

The pulse of the future; it lies in one's heart.
For the love of this soul one has chanced upon,
Any one person would want to be born here.

Walking down this eternal path,
The joy experienced can be witnessed peacefully;
In order to connect to the light of the future,
We will move forward.

絶望が襲うった時にも　思い出せ　ひとりじゃない 　
Zetsubou ga osoutta tokinimo Omoidese Hitori janai
果てなきそらの子供さ　私も　そして君も 　
Hatenaki Sora no kodomo sa Watashi mo Soshite kimimo

When assailed by despair, remember that you are not alone.
The children under the boundless sky, includes myself, and yourself.

希望のかけら　それはここにあるさ　
Kibou no kakera Sore wa kokoni arusa
この胸の真ん中に燃えたつ明かり 　
Kono mune no mannaka ni moetatsu akari
誰もきっとひとつずつ　抱いて生まれてる 　
Dare mo kitto hitotsu zutsu Daite umareteru
歩いて行こう　永遠の途中で 　
Aruite yukou Eien no tochuude
触れ合えた歓びをそうっと見つめ 　
Fureaeta yorokobi wo Soutto mitsume
時の向こうへと　光をつなげるためにただ　
Toki no mukou e to Hikari wo tsunageru tameni tada
前を向いて　
Mae wo muite

The fragments of hope exist here.
In the center of this chest is a burning radiance,
Any one person would embrace it in birth.

Walking down this eternal path,
The joy experienced can be witnessed peacefully;
In order to connect to the light of the future,
We will move forward.

さあ　今を抱いて
Saa Ima wo daite
歩いて行こう　永遠のほとりで 　
Aruite yukou Eien no hotoride
出会えた友よ　
Deaeta tomoyo

Come, embrace this moment.
Walking down this bank of eternity,
Brought the friends that we have encountered.
