One Strike for Tomorrow

Tera Kira

From the cracks of this silent city street

The sound of the world begins to retreat

A normal morning, a normal night

I was just running to hide from the fight

I never wanted power, never wanted to be strong

I just didn't want to lose where I belong

Just to see you smile, right by my side

That was enough, with nowhere to hide

Let someone else be the hero, let them take the lead

That was the lie I forced myself to believe

But then I heard it, your voice in the air

A single cry, a desperate prayer

"Save me" – was all you had to say

And my world changed forever, starting today

HENSHIN!

Just to protect you, and for nothing more

I’m reborn right now, like never before

I didn't care about the world, I didn't care about the rest

But in this moment, a hero wakes inside my chest

I don't know the reason I was chosen to stay

I just know you’re there, and I won't look away!

The shadows are moving, no one can intervene

The city is burning, a hellish scene

The girl I grew up with, the light of my life

Is standing alone in the middle of the strife

I could never tell you how I felt inside

You never looked at me, with nothing to hide

But that doesn't matter, it's okay with me

As long as you’re living, as long as you're free

This power I stumbled upon by chance

The only one who can take a stance

I’ve carried this secret, living a lie

But now is the time to reach for the sky!

HENSHIN!

Just to protect you, I’ll give it my all

Even if I’m broken, even if I fall

You don’t have to know me, you don’t have to care

Forget who I am, I’ll still be there

This power is real, it’s coursing through my soul

If this is my fate, then I’ll take control!

I wanted to stay right there by your side

To hear you call my name with nowhere to hide

But I’m the one who chose this lonely back

To walk this road, away from the track

No regrets, even if I fade away

I’ll protect your tomorrow, starting today!

You'll never know

The face beneath this mask

But that’s okay

That’s... okay

Every ounce of strength

In this final strike...!

HENSHIN!

Just to protect you, that’s why I fight

I can still stand up in the middle of the night

Even if tomorrow never comes for me

I’ll guard this "now" for the world to see

I’ll throw away my dreams, I’ll throw away my love

To be the guardian you’re dreaming of

I’ll grasp the meaning of this destiny

With these hands, for all eternity!

Just to save you from the enemy's hand

I’ll fight the whole world, I’ll take my stand

Until this life burns out, until the very end

I’ll be the hero on whom you can depend

I don’t need a name, I don’t need the fame

I just want to see you smile again!

A flash of light moves through the night

You'll never know the one who won the fight

The battle goes on, the shadows remain

But I’m still here, through the fire and the rain

As long as you’re smiling... that’s all I need

The reason I was chosen... I still don’t know
