rays of hope          

Akiramenaide

Hokori takaki kono machi de
Watashi-tachi wa umareta
Chichi to haha ni oshierareta
'Yuuki o wasureru na' to

Ima anata wa kizutsuki
Soshite yume o miushinai
Kokoro no yami o samayoi
Kaze no naka ni hitori

Akiramenaide
Anata ni wa watashi ga iru

Inazuma hikaru daichi ni wa
Are kuruu arashi wa chikai
Ame ni utareta daichi ni mo
Kanarazu seijaku wa kuru

Akiramenaide
Anata o hokori ni omou

Akiramenaide
Anata ni wa watashi ga iru
Don't give up

We were born in this proud city
and we were taught
by our mother and father to
'never forget your courage'

But now wounded, you've
lost sight of your dream
and wander in the darkness
of your heart, alone in the wind

Don't give up
I'm here for you

Lightning flashes on the earth
and a raging storm grows closer
But without fail peace will come to
the earth pounded by the rain

Don't give up
I think of you with pride

Don't give up
I'm here for you
