YOAKE Lyrics (Japanese)
[Intro]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning
La-la-la-la, shining on me
夢の向こうの夜明け
[Verse 1]
ひだまりのような温もり
もらうのに慣れてた
その腕の中から fly out
決めた瞬間 I had to learn to fall
時には rain 時には sunny days
借りものの羽根じゃない
[Pre-Chorus]
自分の力で飛ぶことって so hard
でも本能で感じるの
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn 変わってく
Light, light 息のむview
想像より広い世界
Break the dawn, dawn
今を生きる自分
抱きしめたいと思った
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la shining on me
La-la-la-la, it’s a brand new day (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la-la, shining on me
夢の向こうの夜明け
[Verse 2]
本当は少し怖かったし
君がくれた全て
[Pre-Chorus]
自分にしてあげるのって so hard
でもこうして飛べてるよ
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn 変わってく
Light, light 息のむ view
想像より広い世界
Break the dawn, dawn
今を生きる自分
抱きしめたいと思った
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
夢の向こうの夜明け
[Bridge]
Between night and light
未来が over here
想像超える
Happeningも it’s all okay
Ha, ha, ha, look at the sky, it’s stunning
何が起きても excited
Just follow my heart, follow my heart
Alright, alright, alright
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn 変わってく
Light, light 息のむ view
想像より広い世界
Break the dawn, dawn
今を生きる自分
抱きしめたいと思った
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la, shining on me
La-la-la-la, it’s a brand new day (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la-la, shining on me
夢の向こうの夜明け
YOAKE Lyrics (English)
[Intro]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning
La-la-la-la, shining on me
The dawn beyond the dream
[Verse 1]
A warmth like sunlight
I got so used to receiving it
From the safety of your arms, fly out
The moment I made my choice
I had to learn to fall
Sometimes it’s rain, sometimes it’s sunny days
These wings aren’t borrowed anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Flying on my own is so hard
But I feel it deep down inside
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn it’s changing
Light, light a breathtaking view
A world wider than I imagined
Break the dawn, dawn
Living in this moment
I want to hold myself close
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la shining on me
La-la-la-la, it’s a brand new day (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la-la, shining on me
The dawn beyond the dream
[Verse 2]
Honestly, I was a little scared
Taking all that you gave me
[Pre-Chorus]
And giving it back to myself, it’s so hard
But here I am, flying
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn it’s changing
Light, light a breathtaking view
A world wider than I imagined
Break the dawn, dawn
Living in this moment
I want to hold myself close
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
The dawn beyond the dream
[Bridge]
Between night and light
The future is over here
Things beyond imagination
Happening, it’s all okay
Ha, ha, ha, look at the sky, it’s stunning
Whatever comes my way, I’m excited
Just follow my heart, follow my heart
Alright, alright, alright
[Chorus]
Almost dawn, dawn it’s changing
Light, light a breathtaking view
A world wider than I imagined
Break the dawn, dawn
Living in this moment
I want to hold myself close
Come on
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la, shining on me
La-la-la-la, it’s a brand new day (Dawn, dawn, dawn)
La-la-la-la, light is dawning, la-la-la-la, shining on me
The dawn beyond the dream
