Lyrics
Romaji= Michi ni mayou toki Kimi wa waratteita Yume ni tsumazuku toki Kimi ni te wo hikareta

Kawaru mono wa naku Tomo ni kanaetai Shirennara ukeyou Ano kirameku machi e

Ongaku no kamisama―― Bokura wo mimamotteite Ichiman kairi e no yume wo Tayasanaide

Kakegae no nai kimi no namae Nando mo sakenderu Nee kimi kono koe kikoetara

Inoru you na kono omoi Kimi ni todoiteiru koto wo Shinjiru kono uta shinjiru――

Akaku somaru sora Wataridori no mure Sasaeatte tonderu Doko e iku no darou

Kimi ga tomoshita hi wo Bokura mamoritsudzukeru Kotae wa uta to nari Kimi wo motometeiru

Kakegae no nai kimi ga Inaku natta kono sekai wa Tokei no hari ga tomatta mama de

Inoru you na kono uta wo Futatabi utaeru hi no tame Kimi no koe wo sagashiteru

Ikusen no hoshi to hoshi Surinuke samayoi Bokura wa meguriattanda

Hoshigatteru motometeru Bokura dake janai Tsuyosa ya yasashisa wo Kono yume ga motometeiru

Kakegae no nai kimi no namae Nando mo yonde ita Nee kimi hayaku kaette koi

Inoru you na kono negai Kimi ni kikoeteiru koto wo Shinjiru kono uta shinjiru―― Mata ano basho de aou yo―― Kanji = に迷うとき 君は笑っていた に躓くとき 君に手を引かれた

代わるものはなく ともに叶えたい 試練なら受けよう あの煌めく街へ

音楽の神様―― 僕らを見守っていて 一万浬への夢を 絶やさないで

かけがえのない君の名前 何度も叫んでる ねえ君　この声聞こえたら

祈るようなこの思い 君に届いていることを 信じるこの歌　信じる――

紅く染まる空 渡り鳥の群 支えあって飛んでる どこへ往くのだろう

君が灯した火を 僕ら護り続ける 答えは唄となり 君を求めている

かけがえのない君が いなくなったこの世界は 時計の針が止まったままで

祈るようなこの唄を 再び歌える日のため 君の声を探してる

幾千の星と星 すり抜け　彷徨い 僕らは巡りあったんだ

欲しがってる　求めてる 僕らだけじゃない 強さや優しさを この夢が求めている

かけがえのない君の名前 何度も呼んでいた ねえ君　早く帰ってこい

祈るようなこの願い 君に聴こえていることを 信じるこの唄　信じる―― またあの場所で会おうよ―― English = When we were lost along the route You were laughing along When we were stumbling towards our dream Our hands were pulled by you

There's no replacement We want to fulfill it together If this is a trial, let's take it Towards that shining town

God of Music Please watch over us Please, don't put and end to this dream that's ten thousand nautical miles1 away

Your irreplaceable name, We called it so many times Hey, If you can hear this voice

This feelings that are like a pray I believe they can reach you Believe in this song, believe it...

This sky, dyed in red A storm of migratory birds Holds up and keeps on flying I wonder where they're headed towards

The fire you started Continues on protecting us Our answer becomes a song And looks for you

While the hands of the clock have stopped In this world Without the irreplaceable you, For the day when I'll be able to sing this song, that's like a pray, once again

We're looking for your voice A thousand stars, and one star Slipping through, wandering aimlessly We met fortuitously

What we wanted, what we aimed for Just us isn’t enough This dreams needs Strength and kindness

Your irreplaceable name We called it out so many times Hey you, hurry up and come back

This song, like a wish I believe you can hear it I believe this song, believe it Let's meet once again, in that place
