昔暮らした街に今 ふるさとの街に立っている
突然変わった景色の中 面影を見つけて立ち止まる
思い出すのはあの灯り みんなの笑顔が見えてくる
もうここにはないけれど 誰もが覚えているよ
この土地に生まれ落ち あの時を過ごしてた
いつでもあるものと 思っていたけれど
あの日からなくなった 毎日を過ごした街が
けれども 止まっていられない
明日が来るかぎり
遠浅の海を眺めた ふるさとの海を眺めていた
時には怒り 時にないて でも今は静かに波打つ
思い出すのはあの林 公園のベンチが見えてくる
もうここにはないけれど 誰もが覚えているよ
この土地に生まれ落ち あの人と生きてきた
いつでもいる人と 思っていたけれど
これからは強くなる 人々の命刻まれて
新しい時代が始まる 明日が来るかぎり
瓦礫の道を歩いて 記憶を辿る日々
涙で何もかも 見えない時もあるけど
もうすぐ人は立ち上がり 僕らを育てた街の
新しい歴史が始まる 明日が来るかぎり
未来があるかぎり

As Long As Hope Remains (2026 Remaster)
Mizuki Noa
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused devastating damage across the Tohoku region.
Noa Mizuki, who is from Fukushima, stood on the coast of Soma City in Fukushima - a place where everything had been washed away by the tsunami - and composed this song.
Many people lost their homes and stood at the edge of despair.
While deeply feeling the pain and suffering of the people around her, she believed that history would not end here.
She felt strongly that people would one day rise again from this devastation, rebuild their town, and begin life anew.
After completing the song, she performed it many times in the disaster-affected areas.
She continues to sing it as a song of encouragement for people living in places that have been reduced to rubble - not only by the earthquake, but also by various natural disasters and conflicts around the world.
With that hope in her heart, she decided to write a song that looks toward the future.
