[Verse 1]
誰かが口にしていた
頷く人もいれば、疑う人もいる
苦しみがあるからこそ

[Verse 2]
あなたを抱きしめる時
その腕の優しさを
平和と感じるのでしょう

[Pre-Chorus]
ある時から無口になり心を締め切り
この恋が引き裂かれそうになった

[Chorus]
重ねたこの手を
今度は離さない
信じる力が
愛を自由にする
Oh

[Verse 3]
友情に救われたり
未来を想像したり
幸せは見えるけれど
自分を見る事はない

[Pre-Chorus]
約束と言う私達のコンパスだけでは
この恋は方角を見失うの

[Chorus]
奇跡を待つより
この手をつなぎたい
信じる力が
私を自由にする

[Bridge]
この恋を恐れずに
You don’t have to fear (You don’t have to fear)
This love, this love

[Chorus]
重ねたこの手を
今度は離さない
信じる力が
愛を自由にする
奇跡を待つより
この手をつなぎたい
信じる力が
私を自由にする

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
