|kan1=
そうやって　いつまでも
なんだって　ごまかして
単純なことばかり　繰り返して
|kan2=
自分だけは違うんだって
口ばかりでただダラダラと
生きる意味　問えるほど君、生きてる？
|kan3=
光るように見えてた夢も嘘も
ゆらゆらと陽炎ゆれて
己さえも見えない虫けらたち
みんな同じ　いのち
|kan4=
どうやって　手を抜こう
こうやって　楽しよう
人間は生きているだけで罪
|kan5=
みんな違ってみんないいって
逃げ口上つかってみても
冷や汗はとめどなくただ流れる
|kan6=
「光れない」と笑ってつぶやいても
本当は夢を見てる
生まれ持った枠からはずれたいの
とても無理な　はなし
|kan7=
光ることが出来たら
素晴らしいね
初めから出来ないのにね
無駄な努力　そんなのこの世に無い
信じてれば　シアワセ
信じれれば　幸せ

|rom1=
sou yatte itsu made mo 
nandatte gomakashite 
tanjun na koto bakari kurikaeshite 
|rom2=
jibun dake wa chigau ndatte 
kuchi bakari de tada ''daradara'' to 
ikiru imi toeru hodo kimi, ikiteru? 
|rom3=
hikaru you ni mieteta yume mo uso mo 
yurayura to kagerou yurete 
onore sae mo mienai mushikeratachi 
minna onaji inochi 
|rom4=
douyatte te wo nukou 
kouyatte rakushi you 
ningen wa ikite iru dake de tsumi 
|rom5=
minna chigatte minna ii tte 
nigekoujou tsukatte mite mo 
hiyaase wa tomedonaku tada nagareru 
|rom6=
"hikarenai" to waratte tsubuyaite mo 
hontou wa yume wo miteru 
umare motta waku kara hazuretai no 
totemo muri na hanashi 
|rom7=
hikaru koto ga dekitara 
subarashii ne 
hajime kara dekinai noni ne 
muda na doryoku sonna no kono yo ni nai 
shinjitereba ''shiawase'' 
shinjirereba shiawase 

|eng1=
Just like that, no matter what…
“Huh?! I’ve been deceived…”
You repeat those simple things, over and over…
|eng2=
You say you’re the only one who’s different.
You’re all talk, no action, and you’re just a lazybones…
Do you live as much as you ask about the meaning of life?
|eng3=
Dreams and lies both appeared as though they were shining…
The heat haze flickered and swayed.
Even you, as well as those invisible insects,
Are equal in life.
|eng4=
“How should we cut corners?
If we do this, we’ll be at ease…”
It’s a sin for humans to just be alive…
|eng5=
“Everyone’s different, and that’s okay”
I tried to use an evasive answer, but
I broke out into an endless cold sweat…
|eng6=
Even if you smile and mutter “I can’t shine…”
Really, you dream of doing so.
Do you want to get out of the frame you were born in?
That’s a very unreasonable thing to say.
|eng7=
If I could shine…
It would be wonderful, right?
Even though I haven’t been able to do it since the start…
Useless effort – there’s nothing like that in the world!
If I believe, I’ll be happy.
If I can believe, I’ll be happy…
