---

(1) with the vanishing sunset our signal to start

(7) we step out from here into the twilight

(4) the illumination wraps around us,

(3) a prayer to call forth tomorrow

 

(6) the show curtain will never fall; the world is waiting

(2) right, we’ve only just now reached the present along with our dreams

(5) even so, the cheers and the rhythm call us forth

(7) if we’re with you, we can walk forward

(all) if you’re standing by our side

 

as long as the light brightens the night

this clumsy journey can be turned into hope

each and every one of our uncountable meetings and partings

is a WONDER LiGHT

(7) no matter how far we go

(all) those frolicking lights are our story

our wishes for the future will form our path

with the sound of footsteps, we move ever onward

facing forward again on our journey

(7) these seven lights will twinkle softly

(1, 2) whether it’s too bright or too dark, for some reason

my vision clouds, but that’s fine

(5, 6, 7) the light stings my eyes; as noisy as usual,

we continue forward just the way we are now

 

(3, 4) I don’t want to go so far as to call it love, but

(1, 5, 7) if you see anyone who looks to be crying, tell us

(all) and we'll bring them

(2, 3) a shower of many colors

(1, 7) hey, if you dance, you’ll see a shooting star

(4, 5) even if you mistake us for “justice"

(2, 3, 6) if that brings someone happiness

(7) then our seven-colored footsteps can be right

(all) as long as the light brightens the night

this clumsy journey connects us to the future

each and every one of these uncountable dazzling sparks

is a WONDER LiGHT

(7) no matter how far we go

(all) these cheerful lights are our story

our wishes for the future will form our path

with the sound of footsteps, we move ever onward

because we’ll face forward again

(7) these seven lights laugh softly

(all) definitely, definitely, definitely

the seven lights will twinkle softly, just like tonight
