Lyric

TENDER LIGHT

AKI

Intro Adanun

朝焼けのslow light

まだ少し残るpain inside

だけどね deep down, I know

I’ll be alright, ready for

カーテンのすき間から

Hopeがそっと差し込むから

「大丈夫」って

空が whisper してる気がした

Every scar has a story

だけどhideしなくていい

その涙さえも glory

Yeah, you’re still beautiful. baby

Baby, just breathe

焦らなくていい

そのままの you で

You're enough, can’t you see?

傷ついた日々も

やがてmelodyに

やさしい光が

今、あなたを照らしに

眠れぬ夜の siren

頭の中で violence

過去のwordsがstill hauntin'

でももう let it go no frontin'

誰も知らない depth

だけど光は press so

そっと心のedge

温もりがconnect

Let your heart take it slow

No need to fight the flow

涙は弱さじゃない

It’s just how we grow,you know?

Baby, just breathe

心の声 listen

完璧じゃなくていい

You’re enough, that's the mission

重ねた日々に

ちゃんと意味はある

やさしい光を

信じて、歩くpower

When you’re lost in the night

I’ll be right by your side

この声が guide

迷いを hide

忘れないで

You're never alone

Just look up

You’re already home

Just breathe, baby

Everything will be alright

朝がまた come through

やさしい light が you
