Taichi Mukai – Michi (道)

Lyrics Kanji

この道も あの空も
僕らを未来へ紡ぐ
もっと上へ
まだ遠くへ
続いてる

頬を撫でる風は冷たいのに
僕の身体は燃えている
いつからか冷えていた心は
見違えほど違うから

あの辛かった思い出も
弱音吐いた夜でさえも
この時を迎える為の
ものだったんだ

この道も あの空も
僕らを未来へ紡ぐ
もっと上へ
まだ遠くへ
続いてる

[この先はFULLバージョンのみ]

苦しくて逃げ出しそうな時も
もうダメだと思ったとしても
ぼくを信じてる仲間たちを
想えばまだ進めるよ

あと一歩だけでもいい
その一歩を繰り返すなかで
言葉にできない気持ちが
先へ繋ぐ

この場所が いつの日が
懐かしく思えるように
もっと上へ
まだ遠くへ
続いてる

楽な道などどこにも無い
坂を登りきった先に
他じゃ味わえ無い喜び
手にしたものは誇り
欲しかったものが手の中にある
けど終わりはなくまだ道は続く
後ろは見飽きた振り返らない
また風が吹く

この道も あの空も
僕らを未来へ紡ぐ
もっと上へ
まだ遠くへ

この場所が いつの日が
懐かしく思えるように
もっと上へ
まだ遠くへ
続いてる

Lyrics English

This path and that sky
Leads us towards the future
Higher up
Still farther
Continuing on

Even though the wind stroking my cheeks is cold
My body is burning
Because my heart that has long been cold
Has dramatically changed

Those painful memories
Even those nights when I faltered
They were all to welcome this moment

This path, and that sky
Leads us towards the future
Higher up
Still farther
Continuing on

[Full Version Continues:]

Those trying times when I feel like running away
Or I think of giving up altogether
When I think of my friends who believe in me
It spurs myself onward

Even just one more step is fine
In repeating that step
The feelings I can’t put into words
Shall connect to the future

Just as this place shall someday
Fill us with nostalgia
Higher up
Still farther
Continuing on

Easy roads and the like are nowhere to be found
But when you complete the hills,
You will have a feeling that you can't feel anywhere else
I’ve gained pride
What I’ve wanted is in my hands
But there’s no end yet, the road still goes on
I am tired of looking back, I won't do it anymore
The wind blows again

This path and that sky
Leads us towards the future
Higher up
Still farther
Continuing on

Just as this place shall someday
Fill us with nostalgia
Higher up
Still farther
Continuing on
