Lyrics
Rōmaji = Motto tsuyoku Sou tsuyoku naritai to negatta Kanashimi o koete

Kawaru koto nai kako ni nandomo se o muketeta Darenimo miserarenai itsumo kakushita mama zutto

変わることない過去に 何度も背を向けてた 誰にも見せられない 傷も隠したまま ずっと

溢れだしたこの痛みは 全て一人で抱きしめる いつか消えるぬ温もりなら ひとつもいらないよ

もっと強く そう 強くなりたいと願った 暗闇を駆ける 孤独な星のように 心深く沈めた 弱くて脆い自分 言葉にできなくて 声にもならなくて きっと誰にも見つからないように ただ 光を待ってる

きみに触れた日から 広がる景色の中 そっと伸ばす腕で 確かめるように 抱き締めた

温かなきみの瞳は この胸を微かに揺らす あの日失くした感情が 熱を帯びてゆく

遥か 遠く そう 遠く 願いを届けたい 胸に込み上げた 焔に 誓うように 心深く沈めた 思いがいつの日か 明日を変われる 光になるように いつまでも この場所で わたしは 輝く未来を待ってる

強い風に 笑い合った あの記憶が この胸を叩くように 勇気をくれる 前を向く痛み 隠した傷だって 強さに 変わってゆく わたしはもう何も怖くはないから

もっと強く そう 強くなりたいと願った 暗闇を照らす 煌めく星のように 涙の中 目覚めた きみを守る誓い 悲しみを超えて 辿り着く日まで はじまりに高鳴るこの鼓動を ずっと信じ続ける

Source: Startear album English= Stronger, I wished to become even stronger Going beyond this sadness.

Countless times, I’d turned my back on a past I couldn’t change, All the while hiding it so that no one would see.

The pain wells up, but I embrace it all alone. If this warmth will someday disappear, I’d rather not have a single shred.

Stronger, I wished to become even stronger Making my way through the darkness, like a lonely star. The heart of my weak, fragile self has sunk deep, Unable to put it all into words… unable to even use its voice.

I’m simply hiding so that no one will find me, Waiting for a light to appear.

From that day you touched me, the scenery spread before me My arms slowly extended, and embraced you closely to really believe

Your warm gaze softly shook this body I let my feelings go that day, and that warmth had continued to linger

Far away, so far away, I want to send these desires so far away. My body filled with emotion, and vowed upon a flame. When will my heart sink from the memory? Tomorrow will change, becoming like a light. Eternally, in this place, I will wait for a shining future.

Those memories of smiling in a strong wind, Give this body courage to fight back. Before, when I faced grief, I would hide my wounds. My strength continued to change, After I was no longer scared of anything.

Stronger, I wished to become even stronger, Illuminate the darkness like a twinkling star. Behind my tears, I woke and vowed to protect you, To go beyond this sadness until the day you arrive. This pulse is beginning to quicken. I will continue to believe in you.
