Progress

Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Music & Arrangement: Yuuta Nakano

I was afraid of simple days so long ago
I know that it's the complicated days that are sad

It's not that I want to go back; my heart wants to believe, look
It's shouting at my back, "You aren't wrong at all"

The two of us tick away the same time, believe in the same future
Our tears yesterday and our smiles today are both true

We know the same pain and brought the same tenderness
We'll change them into the strength to be able to live in tomorrow

At that time, I was at that place fighting
If everything was so that I could choose the present...

Then is the reason I want to forgive the past
That I turned away from, that I couldn't face and left behind, because I want to be forgiven?

Those days when we could just be free are far off
And we can't spend these days with an innocent smile

We advance on, we continue to advance on even so
Because our hearts that can believe in something still remain

Hey, we haven't and will never
Ask for much

The two of us tick away the same time, believe in the same future
Our tears yesterday and our smiles today are both true

We know the same pain and brought the same tenderness
And if we can change them into the strength to be able to live in tomorrow, I'm sure...

Tanjun na hibi wo osorete ita nowa mou tooi mukashi
FUKUZATSU na hibi koso kanashii no wo shitteru

Modoritai toka ja nakute shinjitai kokoro ga hora
Senaka de sakenderu machigatte nanka inai yo tte

Onaji toki wo kizunde onaji mirai shinjiteru futari
Kinou no namida mo kyou no egao mo shinjitsu na mama

Onaji itami wo shitte onaji yasashisa mochiyotta
Ashita wo ikite yukeru tsuyosa ni kaete yuku kara

Ano toki ni ano bashi ni ite tatakatte ita jibun ga
Subete wa ima wo erabu tame datta to shita nara

Mukiaezu okizari na mama me wo sorashite ita kako wo
Yurushitai to omou nowa yurusaretai kara nano kana

Bokura ga tada jiyuu de irareta ano koro wa tookute
Mujaki na egao dake ja kono koro wa sugosenai kedo

Bokura wa susunde yuku soredemo susumi tsudzuketeku
Nanika wo shinjirareru kokoro ga nokotte iru kara

Nee bokura wa kore made datte kore kara datte
Ooku no koto wo nozondari wa shinai yo

Onaji toki wo kizunde onaji mirai shinjiteru futari
Kinou no namida mo kyou no egao mo shinjitsu na mama

Onaji itami wo shitte onaji yasashisa mochiyotta
Ashita wo ikite yukeru tsuyosa ni kaete yuketa nara kitto
