Protect the Light

Lyrics & Composition: Masamune Kusano

I had believed that crying was selfish
And ran through the monochrome back streets
never expecting to meet anyone in this town

I know they're just a fleeting fate, no matter how strong the prayers are
And they get erased like graffiti, even my precious memories

But still I'll stretch out my hands with all my might, if we'll be forgiven one day
I want to reach the meaning of happiness
Let's protect this sweet light as it burns secretly

Before I knew it, even my fingertips were dirty
How many times had I turned a rusty doorknob?
I'd thought there was no one there, just like yesterday

This might not be the right answer. Should I keep moving forward as I try again?
I'll overcome insurmountable barriers, changing heartache into something that drives me

I want to touch the continuation of the world you're in, if we'll be forgiven
I want to untie the knots that bind me
Let's protect this faint but warm light

Through the gaps of the lead-colored clouds, a light blue appears small
so I'll get up right away without looking down, even if they laugh and say it's just a pipe dream

I won't stop. I'll stretch out my hands with all my might, if we'll be forgiven one day
I want to reach the meaning of happiness
Let's protect this sweet light as it burns secretly

Hi wo Mamoru

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Kusano Masamune

Naku nowa wagamama na koto to shinjite ita
Monokuro no uramichi wo hashirinukete kita
Deai nante yosou mo sezu ni kono machi de

Hakanai sadame to shitteru yo dore hodo tsuyoi inori demo
Rakugaki mitai ni kesareteku taisetsu na omoide made

Soredemo te wo nobasu seiippai itsuka bokura yurusareru nara
Shiawase no imi ni tadoritsukitai'n da
Hisoka ni tomoru kono kawaii hi wo mamorou

Ki ga tsukeba yubisaki mo yogoreta mama de
Sabitsuita doanobu ikutsu mawashitakke?
Kinou to onaji daremo inai to omotteta

Seikai wa kore ja nai no kamo yarinaoshinagara susumou ka
Koerarenai saku wo koete iku setsunasa wo bane ni kaete

Kimi ga iru sekai no tsuzuki ni furetai moshimo bokura yurusareru nara
Toraware no musubime wo hodokitai'n da
Kasuka dakeredo atatakai hi wo mamorou

Namariiro no kumo no sukima kara mizuiro ga chiisaku mieru kara
Shitamukazu ni sugu okiagaru esoragoto to warawaretemo

Yamenai yo te wo nobasu seiippai itsuka bokura yurusareru nara
Shiawase no imi ni tadoritsukitai'n da
Hisoka ni tomoru kono kawaii hi wo mamorou

灯を護る
