Zion

Lyrics: Hoshimachi Suisei
Composition: Youko Shimomura

Living so I don't fall over
I desperately hid my weakness
I'll make all my anxieties, pain, and loneliness
into my sustenance for the future

Others pointed and laughed at me
but I walked on without looking down
I'll smile bravely and daringly
clenching my palms in secret

I want to keep stepping forward
even if I'm not chosen

Now it is time to make a choice

Just one, just once
If I take a breath
while walking as if I'm being guided...

Until the end comes
If there's a fragment of myself left
in the days I've been acting strong...

I'd wanted to be someone gentle
I'd wanted to just be right
not knowing that there are as many hearts as there are justices being brandished

Pointing your finger, you said:
"What's the value in that?"
Chasing only after armchair theories
Believing in hope

I won't turn around
so I want to stay unchanged

Even if I'm chosen

Now it is time to make a choice

Just one, just once
If I take a breath
as I walk as if being rushed...

Until the end comes
Even if only scars remain
on this body as it fought to find meaning...

I cried in a hoarse voice
running away from resignation

Excitement turns into bruises
And I've kept explaining away the scars
Every day's like grasping at fine threads

I flounder on a frustrating path

Just one, just once
If I take a breath
while walking as if I'm being guided...

Until the end comes
If there's a fragment of myself left
in the days I've been acting strong...

Korobanai you ni ikite
Hitakakushi ni shita yowasa
Fuan mo itami mo kodoku mo
Subete wo itsuka no kate ni shite

Yubi wo sasare warawarete
Shita wo mukazu aruite kita
Kijou ni warau no futeki ni
Hisoka ni tenohira nigirishime

Fumidashitsuzuketai
Erabarenakutomo

Now it is time to make a choice

Tatta hitotsu tatta ichido
Michibikareru you na ayumi no naka
Kokyuu wo shita nara

Owari ga kuru toki made
Tsuyoku arou to enjite kita hibi ni
Watashi no kakera ga nokoru nara

Yasashii hito ni naritakatta
Tada tadashiku aritakatta
Furikazasu seigi no kazu dake kokoro ga aru koto wo shirazu ni

Yubi wo sashite kimi ga itta
"Sore ni donna kachi ga aru" to
Kijou no kuuron bakari wo oikake
Kibou wo shinjite

Erabareta to shitemo

Now it is time to make a choice

Tatta hitotsu tatta ichido
Sekasareru you na ayumi no mama
Kokyuu wo shita nara

Owari ga kuru toki made
Imi wo midasou to tatakatta karada ni
Kizuato dake demo nokoru nara

Shagareta koe de naita
Akirame kara nigedashite

Ukareta jou ga aza ni naru
Komakashitsuzuketa kasabuta
Hosoito wo tsukamu you na mainichi

Modokashii michi de agaku

Tatta hitotsu tatta ichido
Michibikareru you na ayumi no naka
Kokyuu wo shita nara

Owari ga kuru toki made
Tsuyoku arou to enjite kita hibi ni
Watashi no kakera ga nokoru nara
