Lyrics
Kanji=
 * たとえば明日(あす)がこないとしたら
 * 僕が生きた過去も今も
 * ゼロになり
 * 無意味な物になるかな？
 * 時間(とき)を上を立ち止まり 君が問いかける


 * 雪が溶けて消えるように
 * 僕の命が終わりがあって
 * だからこそ 輝ける


 * 僕らの見えない未来
 * 強く生きて 最期は笑っていたいから


 * うわべの友情や愛情なら
 * 僕はもういらない
 * 人は死ぬ前に 何かを
 * 思い出すというのなら
 * 僕は人を愛したことを思い出すだろう


 * 雪が溶けて消えるように
 * 僕の命が終わりがあって
 * だからこそ 歌える


 * 僕らの見えない未来
 * 光放ち始める
 * just be dreaming, shining


 * 青空が最期につけた言葉の色
 * 僕に答えをくれた
 * a life is mine


 * 考えすぎ ためらいの後悔
 * 何もしないよりは
 * 充実の後悔を


 * いつまでも 続けて願っても
 * 僕の命は終わりがあって
 * だからこそ 輝ける


 * 今と向き合う意味を
 * 声をからし 叫んでるから


 * 僕らの生きていく世界は
 * 毒もあって 時に愛も踏みにじられる


 * それでも 最期の日に
 * 愛されたことを思い出せますように


 * 青空が最期につけた言葉の色
 * 僕に答えをくれた
 * a life is mine


 * 考えすぎ ためらいの後悔
 * 何もしないよりは
 * 全てをかけて生きたい

 * -|English Translation=
 * If tomorrow were to never come,
 * the past and present I lived
 * would be reduced to zero
 * Would I then be meaningless?
 * I ask you as time stands still


 * Like the vanishing melting snow,
 * my life shall someday end
 * That's why I've got to shine now


 * I want to live strong and smile when
 * the conclusion of the unseen future comes for me


 * I don't need
 * superficial friendship or love
 * If people are to remember something
 * right before they die,
 * then I want to remember that I loved humanity


 * Like the melting snow fading away,
 * my life has an end
 * That's why I'm singing now


 * A burst of light has started
 * from the future we cannot see
 * just be dreaming, shining


 * The blue sky left a trace of these words' hues
 * and they have given me an answer
 * a life is mine (my life is mine)


 * I think too much and regret my hesitation
 * But doing nothing at all
 * is the ultimate regret


 * Even if I wish for everything to remain the same,
 * there will be a time when my life will end
 * That's why I'm shining now


 * My reasons for going forward in the present
 * makes my voice hoarse with my shouts


 * The world we live in now
 * has got its poisons; sometimes, even love gets trampled on


 * Even so, I prey to the last of my days
 * that it it will be remembered as a place of love


 * The hues of these words that were left in the blue sky
 * gave me my answer
 * a life is mine (my life is mine)


 * I think too much and regret my procrastination
 * Rather do nothing about it,
 * I want to live my life to its fullest
