Lyrics English
I was searching,
For the reason I’m able to remain as myself;
If there’s a version of me,
That exists within your heart…
… then even amid the darkness on this long, hilly road,
I feel I can become a new me,
Able to make my way through!
So that each of us, walking our individual moments, can keep on smiling…
So that we can keep moving forward, exploring the meaning of life together…
I’ll call out a name:
Your name –
So that you can remain who you are.
Whenever you’re darkened by sadness and your tears overflow…
Whenever your heart floods with loneliness and begins to waste away…
I’ll call out a name:
Your name –
Just as you once called out mine.
Taking in a deep breath,
I drink it down, then release it to the sky…
Am I allowed to believe,
That everyone can find happiness?
Even me?
Even if the future awaiting me is so bright that it’s blinding,
If I’m to face it alone, there’s no real meaning in it…
I’ll shout out a name:
My name –
I’m still right here…
… can you hear me?
“I guess no one would notice if I were gone,”
I whispered, as I looked up to the sky… alone.
Then amid the wind, I heard,
From somewhere far off:
My name –
A gift that allowed me to remain who I am.
So that each of us, walking our individual moments, can keep on smiling…
So that we can keep moving forward, exploring the meaning of life together…
I’ll call out a name:
Your name –
So that you can remain who you are.
Whenever you’re darkened by sadness and your tears overflow…
Whenever your heart floods with loneliness and begins to waste away…
I’ll call out a name:
Your name –
Just as you once called out mine.
