Kanji:

霧に埋もれる朝は　まだ知らない陰を映す (by my side)

歪み咲き誇る場所　伸ばす手が

もがいて刻んだ時間に揺れた

ただ痛むのか　見て描くのか　僕の感情は

Where is the truth？　どこに隠すの？　嘆きもせず

風が吹き抜けて行く　空は…

駆けろ！　煌めき目を覚ました声が　高く告げた (believe myself)

譲れない願いが (remember) あるんだろう？

だから　そう　唯一無二の衝動　奔らせて (keep my faith)

護り過ぎた (realize) 笑顔迎えに

泣き叫んで　顔を出した　弱さの化身も

全て込めて解き放て　Brand-new World

堪えきれない日常に　奪われていった記憶を

悲しみから逃げ出して　思い出と呼ぶ

求められた理由に　胸の奥　応えてよ

高鳴ってよもっと

ただ誓うのか　夢抱くのか　君の感情だ

Which is the truth？　背をむけるのかい？　触れもせずに

明日へ吸い込まれてく　夜が…

超えろ！　煌めき　ぶつけあって出した　この答えは (believe myself)

強さの中で (remember) 感じたんだ

そして　無限に閉ざされていた風景の　その先に (keep my faith)

今、少しずつ (realize) あの日へと

泣き叫んで　傷つけて　揺らいだ昨日も

握りしめて変えてゆけ　Brand-new World

強く咲き誇れ　目の前に　確かな意志を振り下ろせ

何回でも　求め続けて　どんな瞬間(とき)でも護り抜け

鼓動から飛び出した　言葉は堅い武器になる

変えて行ける　君が変えてく　この世界も　その涙も

誰もがきっと　透明な心に

夢を染めた　想いの雫

駆けろ！　煌めき目を覚ました声が　高く告げた (believe myself)

譲れない願いが (remember) あるんだろう？

だから　そう、唯一無二の衝動　奔らせて (keep my faith)

護り過ぎた (realize) 笑顔迎えに

泣き叫んで　顔を出した　弱さの化身も

全て込めて解き放て　Brand-new World

English:

A morning buried in fog is still reflecting an unidentified shadow. (By my side)

In a place that twists in full bloom,

My hand writhes as it reaches out, swayed by ticking time.

Is there nothing but hurt? Can I only trace the lines? These are my emotions…

Where is the truth? Where could it be hidden? 

But I’ve no chance to mourn its absence…

The wind blows on through, and in the sky…

Run on through! Eyes wide open and shining bright, 

my voice declared aloud – (Believe myself!)

It seems I have a desire (Remember) that I just can’t let go!

So letting loose a wholly unique impulse, (Keep my faith)

I’ll go forth (Realize) to greet an overprotected smile.

Even the incarnation of weakness, showing its face with a scream –

I’ll release everything right here and now: A Brand-new World!

In those days I could no longer bear, my “recollection” were stolen away,

So I helped them escape from sorrow and began calling them “memories”.

Oh depths of my heart, respond to this reason I’ve been searching for –

Beat aloud, more and more!

Will you merely take oath? Simply cling to dreams? They’re your emotions…

Which is the truth? 

Are you going to turn your back on them, without even taking a look?

As it’s sucked in toward tomorrow, the night…

Go beyond! Shining lights began to collide, 

but I could sense the answer – (Believe myself)

I felt it (Remember) residing within my strength!

Then, lying beyond that eternally closed off scenery, (Keep my faith)

I proceed now to that day (Realize), going bit by bit.

Faced with yesterday, where I lost my composure, 

crying out in tears and hurting others,

I’ll grasp it tight and change it all: A Brand-new World!

So bloom powerfully, in full glory: swing down with definite meaning!

No matter how many times it takes, just keep seeking – protect it at all times!

Flying from your heartbeat, your words become a steadfast weapon;

We can change it – you’ll be the one to change them: 

this world… and those tears…

Everyone, within their transparent hearts,

Has a drop of memories stained by their dreams.

Run on through! Eyes wide open and shining bright, 

my voice declared aloud – (Believe myself!)

It seems I have a desire (Remember) that I just can’t let go!

So letting loose a wholly unique impulse, (Keep my faith)

I’ll go forth (Realize) to greet an overprotected smile.

Even the incarnation of weakness, showing its face with a scream –

I’ll release everything right here and now: A Brand-new World!
