lyrics and translation from Centrigrade

koko ni aru tashika na riariti-
furikaeru kinou nante kudaranai
togirenai sora wo dokomademo
kage sae utsuranai sekai he

kensou ni magirete todoita kakusei no koe
(Stand up for your final choice! Note the time of fate has come.)

yami wo saite afuredashita hikari tsukami kakagero
I’m awakening in the new world

sono te wo nobashite kuretara
ima sugu kimi wo tsurete ikeru
dare yori mo takaku ukande
te ni ireta mujyuuryokuchitai he

kaihou no byouyomi ni kizuita kakusei no koe
(Stand up for your final choice! Note the time of fate has come.)

togisumashita tsubasa hiroge kaze wo atsume tobidate
abareru kodou toki wo koete hibike
I’m awakening in the new world

yugamu zanzou tokete nagareteiku
(Stand up for your final choice! Note the time of fate has come.)
egaku kiseki ha sora wo tsuranuiteiku owaranai jyoushou
(Fly away beyond the clouds. Will you still be in your dreams?)

yami wo saite afuredashita hikari tsukami kakagero
motometeita kono shunkan tsunage

kimi ga kureta koe wo daite takaku takaku habataku
koboreru mirai mabushii kurai sosogu
I’m awakening in the new world.

[Translation]

there is one reality
it’s foolish to look back on yesterday
the sky unending, goes on forever
to a world without shadows

the voice of awakening, that reaches me through the noise
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

grab the light that spills from a rift in the darkness, and raise it up
I’m awakening in the new world

if you’ll put out your hands for me,
I can whisk you away
floating higher than anyone else
to the zero gravity zone we achieved

the voice awakening, aware of the countdown to freedom
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
spread your well honed wings, take to the wind, and fly off
your heart racing out of control, echoes across time
I’m awakening in the new world

the warped after-image melts and washes away
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
the track I draw goes through the sky, an endless ascent
(Fly away beyond the clouds. Will you still be in your dreams?)

grab the light that spills from a rift in the darkness, and raise it up
connect to this moment you longed for.

I fly higher and higher up with the voice you gave me
the future spilling over, pouring out so much it dazzles
I’m awakening in the new world

personally,this song is wondrous as it brings out the don’t give up feeling in everybody.
