Angela Aki

Released: April 14, 2010

[Verse 1]
安全地帯の家を出て　鞄を両手に抱えて
毎朝歩く孤独の一本道, mm
太陽が僕を見捨てて　自分の影が薄れていく
誰も気づかないけれど　この胸は泣いている

[Chorus]
輝く人になりたくて
目を閉じて想像してみる
たくさん笑い　恋もしたり
きっと幸せだろう　幸せだろう

[Verse 2]
言葉が僕を見捨てて　届かぬ思いだけを残す
誰も聞こえないけれど　この胸は叫んでいる

[Chorus]
輝く人になりたくて
目を閉じて想像してみる
たくさん笑い　夢も見たり
きっと幸せだろう　幸せだろう, oh

[Bridge]
鏡に映る自分が嫌いですか、好きですか?
You gotta learn to love yourself
人に見られる自分は　鏡に映る自分だから, woah

[Chorus]
輝く人になりたくて　目を閉じて想像してみる
輝く人は自分の中で
見つけ出さなきゃいけないから
透き通る瞳を逸らさないで　逸らさないで, woah
Yeah
輝く人は自分の中に　必ずいると信じてる
たくさん笑い　夢も見たり　きっと幸せになれるだろう
いつの日か　この僕も

[Outro]
La-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li
La-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li
La-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li
La-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li, la-la-li
Mm, mm
