Everyday we are tested by an indescribable anxiety
Suddenly coming into sight from the past and from the future
Ah, we won’t be swallowed, we won’t be stained
And what I absolutely won’t give up is
(On your side)
So I won’t let go
I’ll listen up and take a deep breath
As all five of my senses announce
What is precious to me is “now”
I’ll spell them out in straightforward terms:
My feelings
Toughen up
Instead of always being protected
I want to keep protecting others
My courage comes forth of its own accord
I won’t hesitate to shield you with it
And banish the hardships that befall us
There are times when I can’t come up with an answer
Trials keep appearing mercilessly in this tear-filled reality
Even if we know that our fates aren’t prepared lightly
(I can’t just stay)
Until I confront them
(This single perfectly clear emotion)
Makes you (stronger than you think)
I won’t let anything get to you
With determination in my eyes
This world will also show us bravery
Keep heart
This kindness that overflows
And the feeling of “wanting to protect others”
Over and over, again and again, have helped me grow
And now the depths of my heart are glistening
(What was born) on that day was
(The affection) that I received
(Before I knew it) I passed it down
(To someone else) in that moment
And what I know (I really know)
Is this thing called love
Toughen up
Instead of always being protected
I want to keep protecting others
My courage comes forth of its own accord
I won’t hesitate to shield you with it
And banish the hardships that befall us
And I will shine to dispel the darkness
