A sword in my heart, a shining courage I know it’s inside me The only miraculous trump card I have is myself The wind tells me That my strength is inside me If I can handle even fear Then I’ll move forward I run, slicing through the wind Throwing away my confusion I want to believe That I can go anywhere, no matter how far A voice cries out amid my dilemma Breaking down all impossibilities A sword in my heart, a shining courage I know it’s inside me An invisible power guides me, blade When I awake from sleeping I’m in the future, the place where my sadness ends Rain taps on the window My sadness turns to anger Telling me That I have my limits My heart’s been set on fire And it reaches my whole body And becomes a burning wish I start to run I’ll set out into the world Quickly, while everyone’s dreaming! A sword in my heart, a shining courage I know it’s inside me When my heart and body join as one, the blade Cuts through even the shadows The only miraculous trump card I have is myself A sword in my heart, a shining courage I know it’s inside me An invisible power guides me, blade When I awake from sleeping I’m in the future, the place where my sadness ends The only miraculous trump card I have is myself
