Lyrics[]
Boku wa boku no basho e yukou
Mada, nani mo mienai keredo
Mou namida nagasu no mo
Kitto kowaku nai
Ano hito ga
Kureta kotae ja
Hontou no
Boku ni narenai ne
Nani ga mitsukaru n' darou
Nani wo mitsukerarenai n' darou
Kokoro ni kakushite oita
Boku no kakera
Tada kaze no sasu basho e
Tatta hitori de aruite yukou
Mishiranu hontou no boku ni
Doko ka de aeru no nara
Sukoshi hayaku hashiri-sugite
Nani mo minakatta ki ga shite 'ru
Sou machigaeta koto mo
Kitto kotae na n' da
Mou ichido
Boku dake no jikan de
Dare ni mo
Nite inai boku ni naru
Dare to wakariaeru darou
Dare wo kizutsukete shimau darou
Kokoro wa omou you ni wa
Kirenai kara
Tada, michi no yuku mama ni
Hiroi atsumete aruite miyou
Yaiba wa matazu ni yuku yo
Ryoute de tsukamu tame ni
Nani ga mitsukaru n' darou
Nani wo mitsukerarenai n' darou
Kokoro ni kakushite oita
Boku no kakera
Tada kaze no sasu basho e
Tatta hitori de aruite yukou
Mishiranu hontou no boku ni
Doko ka de aitai kara
As for me, I shall go to my place
And yet, I cannot see anything at all
To the flowing of tears surely
No more shall I be afraid
The answer
That man gave me
Really does not suit
My true self
Perhaps I shall discover something
Perhaps there is something that I cannot discover
The piece of me
That has hidden in my heart
Only towards where the winds show me
I alone shall go
If somewhere I will find
My unknown true self
Having run a little too fast
I feel I missed out on something
Even such a mistake
Is surely an answer
Once more
Only by my pace
I shall become myself
Unlike anyone else
Perhaps I shall meet someone
Perhaps I shall hurt someone
Because my heart won't be hurt
So easily by them
Only where the road leads
Shall I try walking
I will go, not waiting for the blade
To catch it with both hands
Perhaps I shall discover something
Perhaps there is something that I cannot discover
The piece of me
That has hidden in my heart
Only towards where the winds show me
I alone shall go
If somewhere I will find
My unknown true self
To be added
