Description
It's as if someone is writing a letter through snow and time - not with loud words, but with breath. In this song, life is like a long swim: your arms get tired, the water is cold, but inside there is still a tiny spark of hope that you cannot give up. The words sound like a mantra: “believe, hold on, live” - and there is no pathos in them, only pure perseverance mixed with fatigue and light.
There is no shiny happy ending here, but there is a gentle strength to continue. Even if deception and loss lurk around every corner, even if “a little hope” seems almost ridiculous, it still remains - like a bird that has not yet flown away. This is a song about the fragile but stubborn value of every step, every little thing, every “today” that suddenly turns out to be more important than all plans.

Lyrics and translation
Original
貴方に会いたくて
生まれてきたんだよ
今、伝えたいんだよ
私はただ
私はまだ...
はじまりの朝が来る
宝物を探すけど
いつの間にか すぐそばにあることを
忘れて今日も浮かんでます
思い出は歩いてきた証だと
この傷が教えてくれる
当たり前に進んでゆく皆んなに
ついて行こうと頑張ってます
汚れながら泳ぐ生の中で
まあ よくぞここまで大事にして
抱えて来れましたね
まだ消えちゃいないよ
ちっちゃな希望を
何とか信じて
信じてほしい
裏切りが続こうが
「大切」が壊れようと
何とか生きて
生きてほしい
有り得ない程に
キリがない 本当に
無駄がない程に
我らは尊い
寂しさの甲斐は無い
雪もいつかは溶けるけど
鳥の群れは明日へと飛び立つが
私は今日も小さくなってます
ゆらり揺れながら
産声が聞こえる
繰り返してる春
大事にして語り継いでくれましたか？
まだ伝えてないよ
今日の分の「大好き」を
未来でも変わらず届けられますように
この世が終わるその日に
明日の予定を立てよう
そうやって生きて
生きてみよう
有り得ない程に
キリがない 本当に
無駄がない程に
我らは尊い
踏み締める大地に
重なるはアイロニー
有り得ない程に
キリがない 本当に
まだ消しちゃいけないよ
ちっちゃな希望を
迷わず信じて
信じてほしい
暗闇が続こうと
貴方を探していたい
だから生きて
生きててほしい
有り得ない程に
キリがない 本当に
めくるめく世界に
膝を抱えてたり
誰しも何処かに
弱さがあるように
無駄がない程に
我らは尊い
一歩ずつでいいからさ
何気ない今日をただ
愛してほしい
ズタズタになった芯もほら
明日へと花を咲かすから
繋いでほしい
English translation
I want to meet you
I was born
I want to tell you now
i just
I still...
The morning of the beginning is coming
I'm looking for treasure
Before you know it, it will be right next to you
I forgot about it and am still floating today
Memories are the proof of walking
This scar will tell me
To everyone who is moving on as normal
I'm trying hard to keep up.
In the life of swimming while getting dirty
Well, you're welcome, take care of yourself this much.
I was able to carry it with me.
It hasn't disappeared yet
A little hope
Believe somehow
I want you to believe me
Even if the betrayal continues
“Important” is about to be destroyed
somehow survive
I want you to live
improbably
There really is no end to it
As long as there is no waste
we are precious
Loneliness isn't worth it
Even the snow will melt someday
A flock of birds flies off to tomorrow
I'm getting smaller today too
While swaying
I can hear the birth cry
Spring is repeating
Did you treasure it and pass it on?
I haven't told you yet
Today's "I love you"
I hope it will continue to be delivered in the future as well.
On the day this world ends
Let's make plans for tomorrow
live like that
Let's live
improbably
There really is no end to it
As long as there is no waste
we are precious
On the ground I step on
Overlapping is irony
improbably
There really is no end to it
Don't delete it yet
A little hope
Believe without hesitation
I want you to believe me
Let the darkness continue
I want to look for you
So live
I want you to be alive
improbably
There really is no end to it
Into a dazzling world
holding my knees
Everyone is somewhere
as if there is weakness
As long as there is no waste
we are precious
It's okay to take one step at a time
Just a casual day
I want you to love me
Look at the shredded core
Because the flowers will bloom for tomorrow
I want you to connect
