Those overlapping shadows seeks strength with their unpretentious feelings
Even if I trip and I'm lost, I don't care because I'm not alone
The setting sun will once again shine brightly tomorrow
Connecting hand to hand, the shadow that stretches out straight ahead.

As you look down, are you crying once again?
Those tears you've hidden, that's all I know.
Even if you smile as if nothing happened
Your heart is strained as you take everything upon yourself, it seems to be broken already

As you seem to take the first step while you put down your burden
It's just like you've found your new self
Its okay, even if you're completely exposed
I am here
This hand isn't alone

The overlapping shadows seeks strength with their unpretentious feelings
Even if it trips and is lost, it doesn't care because its not alone
The setting sun will once again shine brightly tomorrow
Connecting hand to hand, the shadows that stretches out straight ahead.

Even if you're intent on focusing only at what's in front of you and run away
You're just blocking out the voice of the people that is important to you
If you give up searching for what you were searching for
You will not be yourself
Since there's always somebody who have found their own answer

Although you haven't realised it yet, your hand is also somebody's support
When the going seems to get tougher and tougher, I always think of you

Those connected shadows that cannot be seen by the eyes, lives by the bonds that supports them.
If I forget to turn around, please call out for me.
The voice that I can trust is here
A memory about a desire to protect, it is as strong as the drive to live on
The shadow that stretches out straight ahead with transient strength

There is no way people would have the courage to destroy one's loneliness.
If you hear a crying sound as it heads towards a place filled with warmth from faraway
Have the courage to extend a hand out
For it is not alone

No matter when, I wouldn't want to feel the loneliness of one people
If I cut yourself away from the world, I can't feel any happiness or laughter
Even if I get hurt, its okay for this is what I seek
For I want to be able to express my feelings honestly

Those overlapping shadows seeks strength with their unpretentious feelings
Even if I trip and I'm lost, I don't care because I'm not alone
The setting sun will once again shine brightly tomorrow
