Lyrics
Rōmaji= Kakushiteta kanjō ga himei o ageteru tashikana chikai o te ni

Kiseki dake o motome kienai yami o samayou Koko ni ireba nidoto mirai miru koto dekinai

Koyoi mo tsuki ga sasotte mada kotoba dasenai kedo kokoro no naka sakebi tsuzuketa

Kakushiteta kanjō ga himei o ageteru tashika na chikai o te ni Ato hon'no sukoshi dake tsuyoku nareta nara Me no mae ni aru kono sora koete yuku kara Kono saki ni aru mirai ni te o nobasu kara

Sunao na koe hibiite hayaru mune no takanari Kimi ga kaita chizu ni yume no arika o sagasu

Kumoma ni sashikomu hikari kasuka ni hashiru kono itami ano sora ni mata tobitatetanara

Hateshinaku hirogatta sumiwataru sekai mabushisa ni me o hosome Shinjirareru tsuyosa o mune ni daitara Kumo hitotsu nai kono sora tobimawaru kara

Nakusu mono wa nani mo nai furueru yubi nigirishime Kimi no muku na egao dake o yakitsuke

Owaranai episōdo no hate ni tsukametara kimi to no omoi ga ima Osanaki hi no kakera o tsunagi aya tte Futari de kaita kokoro no kiseki tadorukara

Kakushi teta kanjō ga himei o age teru tashikana chikai o te ni Ato hon'nosukoshidake tsuyoku nareta nara Me no mae ni aru kono sora koete yuku kara

Kono saki ni aru mirai ni te o nobasu kara…

Kanji= 隠してた感情が悲鳴を上げてる　確かな誓いを手に

奇跡だけを求め　消えない闇を彷徨う ここにいれば二度と　未来見る事出来ない

今宵も月が誘って　まだ言葉出せないけど　心の中叫び続けた

隠してた感情が悲鳴を上げてる　確かな誓いを手に あとほんの少しだけ強くなれたなら 目の前にあるこの空　越えてゆくから この先にある未来に手を伸ばすから

素直な声響いて　はやる胸の高鳴り 君が描いた地図に　夢の在処(ありか)を探す

雲間に射し込む光　微かに走るこの痛み　あの空にまた飛び立てたなら

果てしなく広がった澄み渡る世界　眩しさに目を細め 信じられる強さを胸に抱いたら 雲一つないこの空　飛び廻るから

無くすものは何も無い　震える指握りしめ 君の無垢な笑顔だけを焼き付け

終わらないエピソードの果てに掴めたら　君との想いが今 幼き日の欠片を繋ぎ彩って ふたりで描いた心の軌跡辿るから

隠してた感情が悲鳴を上げてる　確かな誓いを手に あとほんの少しだけ強くなれたなら 目の前にあるこの空　越えてゆくから

この先にある未来に手を伸ばすから…



English= My hidden feelings are crying out as I hold an absolute vow

Seeking nothing but a miracle, I wander in the everlasting darkness If I stay here, I won't ever be able to see the future again

Tonight's moon is inviting again and I still can't say those words, but I kept shouting them in my heart

My hidden feelings are crying out as I hold an absolute vow If I can be just a little stronger Then I'll go beyond this sky in front of my eyes Then I'll reach out toward the future that lies ahead

My honest voice echoes and my eager heart is throbbing On the map that you drew, I search for where my dream is

Light shines from between the clouds and I feel a slight jolt of pain, if I could take off for that sky again—

The crystal-clear world is boundless and I squint my eyes in its blinding brightness If I'm holding a strength that I can believe in to my heart Then I'll fly around this cloudless sky

There's nothing to lose, so I'll grip my trembling fingers and sear nothing but your innocent smile into my mind

If I can grasp them at the end of an infinite episode, now the feelings shared with you tie the pieces of my childhood days together and make them colorful Following the tracks of the heart that we drew together

My hidden feelings are crying out as I hold an absolute vow If I can be just a little stronger Then I'll go beyond this sky in front of my eyes

Then I'll reach out toward the future that lies ahead...

Trivia

 * The opening has two versions. In one version, Sugou Nobuyuki's reflection in the mirror as Oberon is unrecognizable; in the other, Oberon is shown clearly.
