Step by Step

Verse 1

Life was bright, skies full of gold

でも今は迷っている (demo ima wa mayotte iru – “but now I’m lost”)

Every road I take feels cold

心の声が遠く響く (kokoro no koe ga tooku hibiku – “my heart’s voice echoes far away”)

Felt the highs, then touched the ground

夜が長く、道も見えない (yoru ga nagaku, michi mo mienai – “the night is long, and I can’t see the road”)

Lost my map, but I’m still around

歩き続けるしかない (aruki tsuzukeru shika nai – “I have no choice but to keep walking”)

Pre-Chorus

But the night can’t last forever

光が導く (hikari ga michibiku – “the light guides me”)

Every scar shows me I’m stronger

恐れを手放して (osore o tebanashite – “let go of the fear”)

Chorus

Step by step, I’ll find my way

一歩ずつ前に進む (ippo zutsu mae ni susumu – “step by step, I move forward”)

Even when the skies turn gray

涙も希望に変わる (namida mo kibou ni kawaru – “even tears turn into hope”)

Through the turns, I learn to stay

心の声に従う (kokoro no koe ni shitagau – “follow the voice of my heart”)

Life goes on, I’ll be okay

歩き続ける、この道を (aruki tsuzukeru, kono michi o – “keep walking, this path”)

Verse 2

Friends I lost, dreams I chased

夜明けまで彷徨った (yoake made samayotta – “wandered until dawn”)

Every mistake, a lesson faced

でも希望はまだ消えない (demo kibou wa mada kienai – “but hope hasn’t vanished”)

Even broken, I rise again

風が背中を押す (kaze ga senaka o osu – “the wind pushes my back”)

Finding strength in who I am

前を向いて進むんだ (mae o muite susumunda – “I’ll face forward and keep moving”)

Bridge

When the night feels endless

暗闇に飲まれそうでも (kurayami ni nomare sou demo – “even if I feel swallowed by darkness”)

Hold on tight, it will pass

希望は必ず来る (kibou wa kanarazu kuru – “hope will surely come”)

Every step a story

歩幅に夢を乗せて (hohaba ni yume o nosete – “carry my dreams with each step”)

Leading me to tomorrow

明日へ続く道 (ashita e tsuzuku michi – “the path to tomorrow”)

Final Chorus

Step by step, I’ll find my way

一歩ずつ前に進む (ippo zutsu mae ni susumu)

Even when the skies turn gray

涙も希望に変わる (namida mo kibou ni kawaru)

Through the turns, I learn to stay

心の声に従う (kokoro no koe ni shitagau)

Life goes on, I’ll be okay

歩き続ける、この道を (aruki tsuzukeru, kono michi o)

Outro

Eyes open, the sun will rise

夜明けの光が差す (yoake no hikari ga sasu – “light of dawn shines”)

Every turn, I’ll realize

歩き続けることが答え (aruki tsuzukeru koto ga kotae – “keeping on walking is the answer”)

Life goes on… step by step

一歩ずつ進むだけ (ippo zutsu susumu dake – “just move step by step”)
