Lyrics:

These Bonds この 絆

We know your world is shattered
We feel it too
We know your dreams are scattered
Among the ruins
But remember there is something
Stronger than any storm
Feel these bonds of friendship
Arriving on your shore
And these bonds will unite us
These bonds never break
And weʼll all stand together
ʻTil a smile returns to your face
And youʼre whole
Youʼre whole again

この 絆
Kono Kizuna
あなた の 世界 が
Anata no sekai ga
崩れて
Kuzurete
がれき の 中 に
Gareki no naka ni
夢 が 消え
Yume ga kie

でも どんな 嵐 が
Demo donna arashi ga
吹き寄せても
Fukiyosetemo
友 の 絆 に
Tomo no kizuna ni
守られる
Mamorareru

この 絆 で
Kono kizuna de
結ばれて
Musubarete
とも に 歩こう
Tomo ni arukou
笑顔 が 戻る まで
Egao ga modoru made
戻る まで
Modoru made
戻る まで
Modoru made

Beautiful, Rob. The Japanese verse was a thoughtful touch.
