[Japanese:]

"これで終わり"そう思っていた遠いあの日
今は言える　羽ばたける"始まり"だったと

君のぬくもりが広がる
手のひらと胸の隙間
君と　行く先　探してる
心繋いで

まもりたい
まもられてる
会えない時間(とき)も　ずっと
一秒ずつ　私達は
強くなれるから

広い夜空　寄り添う星達　見上げながら
かけがえのない今日の向こう　明日(あす)が生まれる

ふたりの間を行き交う
この空気　大事にしたい
透き通ってゆく　心から
優しくなれる

忘れない
君とこうして
分かち合えるぬくもり
感じてる　たったひとつ
未来　照らすもの

降り積もる哀しみを
そっと溶かすように
いつまでも
いつでも

まもりたい
まもられてる
会えない時間(とき)も　ずっと
一秒ずつ　君と　私
強くなれるから

忘れない
君に出逢って
生まれ　変われる　願い
信じてる
だから　私
すべて　守りたい

すべて　守りたい

[English translation:]

"This is the end" is what I thought on that distant day
Now I can say that it was the "beginning" of when I ventured out

Your warmth spreads to the gap
Between the palm of my hand and my chest
With our hearts linked as one,
Together we can reach our destination

I want to protect you
You will be protected
Even in times when we can't meet
Because with each second
We will become stronger

While we look up at the stars compacted in the vast night sky
Beyond the uncomparable today, tomorrow in being born

I want to cherish this air
Flowing between us
From our pure hearts,
We can become kind

I won't forget
Being with you
And the warmth we share
I feel that you're the only one
That can make the future bright

It's like the falling sadness that piles up
Is gently melting away
For always
And for ever more

I want to protect you
You will be protected
Even in times when we can't meet
Because with each second
We will become stronger

I won't forget
The wish we gave birth to anew
When we met each other
I believe in it
That's why
I want to protect everything

I want to protect everything
