夢 (Yume) – Dreams
——
I first took notice of who I am
When I was about to surpass myself
In the midst of everyday, worrying and regretting
When I made a wrong move
Crashing into a wall, making a huge turn
Looking back on those days
More than anyone else, hey
I can see a road stretching far
As I’m standing here with numerous wounds
Because such a wide road exists
I can go to meet tomorrow’s me
When comparing with someone
I measured up against myself
In the midst of those days, I looked hard at the opposite side
Though I had no answer
I’m anxious about these days
Full of misconstrued measures
Of my own doing
The one who wishes for so many things
Is not those around me, but me myself
I’ll make the self I want to be
The opponent I can’t lose to isn’t anyone else
The things that accumulate within mistakes
The things that deepen amid anxiety
All of it help to broaden
The self I am now
So I’m not afraid of anything
As I hope for such a tomorrow
Someday, surely, in order to reach it
Even if I stumble now, I’ll get up again
And then, at the end of the wide road
All my selves are smiling as they wait
No matter how far away, they’re surely waiting
It’s too soon to give up now
No matter what the goal, if I don’t take
The first step, nothing will begin
In order to take notice of who I am
I’ll surpass that limit again and again
And then, I’ll meet him
Not anyone else, but in order to be me
