Japanese Lyrics (English translation found below)

Title: 夜明けに向かって　

Verse 1:
知らないうちに、予想外な事が起きるんですね。
或る日突然、全て変わって、今迄と違う景色に、
囲まれている私達、行く道は只一つ、目の前にある物全て、
一途に向かって行こう。

Chorus:
歩こう、歩こう、
手をつないで、
歩こう。
何があっても傍にいるから、
一緒に歩きましょう。

Verse 2:
この時皆で、出来る事は、力合わせる事。
どんなに暗い、所に居ても、あなたは一人ではない。
だから、諦めないで、夜明けを待ちましょう。
愛する人の思い出、胸に抱いて。

Chorus (sung 3 times):
歩こう、歩こう、
手をつないで、
歩こう。
何があっても傍にいるから、
一緒に歩きましょう。

English translation:
Title: Toward the Dawn

Verse 1:
Sometimes, before we know it,
unexpected things happen.
One day, suddenly, everything changes
and we find ourselves surrounded
in foreign scenery
with only one way left to go.
While embracing all that we see before us
let us begin to turn our gaze forward.

Chorus:
Let us walk, let us walk,
Hand in hand,
Let us walk.
No matter what happens, we will be with you/you are not alone,
so together let us walk.

Verse 2:
During this time, what we can all do together
is to combine our strength.
No matter what dark place you find yourself in,
please know that you are not alone.
Therefore, please do not give up.
Let us wait for the breaking of dawn,
all the while keeping the memories of our loved ones
burning alive in our hearts.

Chorus (sung 3 times):
Let us walk, let us walk,
Hand in hand,
Let us walk.
No matter what happens, we will be with you/you are not alone,
so together let us walk.
