to the future

**ほら足元を見てごらん (hora ashimoto o mi te goran)
これがあなたの歩む道 (kore ga anata no ayumu michi)
ほら前を見てごらん (hora mae o mi te goran)
あれがあなたの未来 (are ga anata no mirai)

母がくれたたくさんの優しさ (haha ga kure ta takusan no yasashi sa)
愛を抱いて (ai o dai te)
歩めと繰り返した (ayume to kurikaeshi ta)

あの時はまだ 幼くて意味など知らない (ano toki ha mada osanaku te imi nado shira nai)
そんな私の手を握り一緒に歩んできた (sonna watashi no te o nigiri issho ni ayun de ki ta)

夢はいつも空高くあるから (yume ha itsumo sora takaku aru kara)
届かなくて怖いね (todoka naku te kowai ne)
だけど追い続けるの (dakedo oi tsudukeru no)

自分のストーリだからこそ 諦めたくない (jibun no sutoori da kara koso akirame taku nai)
不安になると手を握り (fuan ni naru to te o nigiri )
一緒に歩んできた (issho ni ayun de ki ta)

その優しさを時には嫌がり (sono yasashi sa o tokiniha iyagari)
離れた母へ素直になれず (hanare ta haha he sunao ni nare zu)

To The Future

Look! Look underfoot
This is your path to walk
Look! Look at what’s before you
That over there is your future

My mother gave me much kindness
While embracing love, I returned to my dreams
I was still a child then, and didn’t understand the significance when
She held my hand and we walked together
Dreams are always sky high and
though fearful, we still continue to reach for them
I should know this story because I never gave up
Although I was uneasy, we walked together

At times, I hated that kindness,
yet I would become weak when separated from her

Look! Look underfoot
This is your path to walk
Look! Look at what’s before you
That over there is your future

At times, I hated that kindness,
yet I would become weak when separated from her

Look! Look underfoot
This is your path to walk
Look! Look at what’s before you
That over there is your future
Look! Look underfoot
This is your path to walk
Look! Look at what’s before you
That over there is your future

Face your future,
and slowly approach it
