TV Version
Kanji= 渡す限りの荒野に　ひとり立っているんだ そりゃ身震いもするだろう

幼い少女が　夢に見ている 白馬の王子みたいなもの 僕らもどっかで　知らないうちに 期待してしまっていたのかも

不完全なこの世界を　誰かが 描き足してくれるなんてない

信じるという言葉を　君は子供っぽいと笑うかい？ 見渡す限りの荒野で　行き先を示すもの 胸に抱いて歩いてこう　世界が微笑む

この場所がどこだろうと見上げれば瞬く星 その下で君を思えば　悪くない夜になる 冷たい胸に火が灯る Rōmaji= Miwatasu kagiri no kōya ni hitori tatteirunda Sorya miburui mo surudarou

Osanai shōjo ga yume ni miteiru Hakuba no ōji mitaina mono Bokura mo dokka de shiranai uchi ni Kitai shiteshimatteitano kamo

Fukanzen na kono sekai wo dareka ga Kakikashite kureru nante nai

Shinjiru toiu kotoba wo kimi wa kodomoppoi to warau kai? Miwatasu kagiri no kōya de yukisaki wo shimesu mono Mune ni daite aruitekō sekai ga hohoemu

Kono basho ga doko darou to miagereba mabataku hoshi Sono shita de kimi wo omoeba warukunai yoru ni naru Tsumetai mune ni hi ga tomoru English= In the wilderness, as far as the eye can see, stands a lone figure

Surely he trembles as he stands

A young girl dreams of a prince on a white horse

Unwittingly, we also fall to such dreams of perfection

No one will recreate

This imperfect world for us

Will you call me naive if I say that I still dream?

In the wilderness, as far as the eye can see, shines a guiding light

Hold it close as you go and the world will smile upon you

If you're lost, consult the twinkling stars

If I think of you while gazing at those stars, the night brightens

And a warm fire lights in my heart

Kanji= 見渡す限りの荒野に　ひとり立っているんだ

そりゃ身震いもするだろう

幼い少女が　夢に見ている　白馬の王子みたいなもの

僕らもどっかで　知らないうちに　期待してしまっていたのかも

不完全なこの世界を　誰かが

描き足してくれるなんてない

信じるという言葉を　君は子供っぽいと笑うかい?

見渡す限りの荒野で　行く先を示すもの

胸に抱いて歩いてこう　世界がわずかに輝く

僕の手にある『運命』という名の分厚い本を眺めている

なぜだろう　今は開く時じゃない　そこに何が書かれていても

ろくでもない未来などは知りたくない

それをいつか　愛す事も

人は真実か嘘かをことさら知ろうとするけど

それは長い時の中　何度も入れ替わる

今日の涙は明日の笑顔になったらいいけど

白馬には自分が乗るほうがいい

大切な君の手をとりずっと高くまで行こう

この場所がどこだろうと見上げれば瞬く星

その下で君を思えば　悪くない夜になる

不安を数えた指に温もりが灯る

信じるという言葉を　君は子供っぽいと笑うかい?

見渡す限りの荒野で　行く先を示すもの

胸に抱いて歩いてこう　世界がわずかに輝く Rōmaji= miwatasu kagiri no kouya ni　hitori tatteiru n da

Surely he trembles as he stands

A young girl dreams of things like a prince on a white horse

We might not know it, but we too fall to such expectations somewhere

No one will add to this imperfect world just for us

Will you laugh, saying that I’m just like a child, if I say I still dream?

By the wilderness, as far as the eye can see, something guides us to our goal

Hold it close as you go, and the world will glow

I always look up this thing in my hands called fate in the heavy books

Why is it that now isn’t the time to open it up and discover what’s written there, I wonder?

I don’t wanna see the imperfect future

But that’s something we’ll love one day

People have always been finding out what’s real and what’s not

But along the long way, facts have also been switching with lies

But it’s fine if today’s tears turn into tomorrow’s smiles

Why don’t you just be the one to ride the white horse?

I’ll take your precious hand, we’ll go to high places forever

If you don’t know where you are, look up at the twinkling stars

Under this sky, long as I think of you, the night brightens

And the fingers where I counted my worries warm up

Will you laugh, saying that I’m just like a child, if I say I still dream?

By the wilderness, as far as the eye can see, something guides us to our goal

Hold it close as you go, and the world will glow
