眠れない夜 still I’m breathing
壊れそうな この心ごと
抱きしめた 理由もなく
涙こぼれた without a sound
声にならない願いが
胸の奥で光るの
傷跡さえ 美しく
I’m alive, I’m alive
ただ ここにいるだけで
You don’t have to prove it
息をしてる それだけで
You are enough, you’re already shining
この世界に たった一つの
命が 今 歌ってる
Breathe again, again
生きることは 奇跡
過ぎてく日々に 置いてきた
夢のかけら 拾い集め
Even if it’s broken
Still it’s beautiful
それも私（わたし）の 一部だから
正しさより 優しさを
君がくれた そのとき
孤独さえも 温もりに
I’m alive, I’m alive
ただ 生きてるだけで
You don’t need a reason
朝が来るたび やり直せる
You’re allowed to feel and to fall
願わなくても 祈らなくても
君はもう 愛されてる
Breathe again, again
その鼓動が truth
When the world turns away
And the light fades away
Don’t forget —
You’re still here, you’re still here
ただ ここにいるだけで
You are beautiful
呼吸をする そのたびに
世界は少し変わってく
今日という日を 抱きしめよう
涙の中 咲く花を
Breathe again, again
命はまだ 歌ってる
Breathe again
You’re alive
Breathe again
