Lyrics


気づいて欲しい
ささやかな勇気でも
束ねた時 大きな力となる
集う思い いつかはきっと
変えてゆくだろう 時代を
近すぎては
視えない景色がある
高き尾根で 山河を眺めたなら
自分さえも その一部だと
ふいにその胸で分るさ
人がもしも 
一滴の水だとしたって
いつの日か 
やがて河になり 海へと
ああ 流れてゆこうか
誰もがあの海を目指すなら
春の海へ 滔々と流れよう
争うことなく
自由に明日を夢見ながら
歩む時がいつか未来に
来ると信じながら
一人ひとり
心には国があり
築き上げた城が聳えてるだろう
そこにはそう 川がせせらぎ
夢という名の魚が
縛られずに 思うままに生きられるのなら
果てしない歴史の河へと泳ごう
ああ 流れてゆこうか
豊かなあの海の彼方へと
同じ夢を 共に探してゆこう
心をひとつに
希望を抱えて進むのなら
荒ぶる闇 乗り越えたあと
光る朝が来るさ
ああ 流れてゆこうか
誰もがあの海を目指すなら
春の海へ 滔々と流れよう
争うことなく
自由に明日を夢見ながら
歩む時代にきっと出会うと
強く誓いながら

I want you to realize
Even a little courage
When gathered together, becomes a power
The unifying thought will surely, one day
Change the era
There are scenery
That you cannot see when too close
If you gaze at the mountains and rivers from a tall ridge
You’ll suddenly realize in your heart
That even you are part of it
Even if a person is a drop of water
Someday they will become a river and flow into the sea
Ah, shall we flow
If everyone is headed for that sea
Let’s flow to the spring sea
Without fighting
As we dream of tomorrow freely
As we keep believing that someday
In the future, the time to walk will come
Every single person
Has a country in their heart
A city standing, built upon supports
And there, that’s right, a river is rippled
By the fishes known as dreams
If you could live however you liked, without restraint
Then swim towards that never-ending river of history
Ah, shall we flow
To the end that rich sea and beyond
Let’s go find the same dream together
If we are to hold the same hopes and progress
In our hearts
And when we’ve surpassed the rough darkness
The bright dawn will come
Ah, shall we flow
If everyone is headed for that sea
Let’s flow to the spring sea
Without fighting
As we dream of tomorrow freely
As we vow with dedication
That we will definitely meet the era we can walk
