Rikutsu bakari narabetatete
Jibun wo mamoru koto bakari
Omoi tsuki no yume no mae de
Iiwake wo mazu kangaeru
Kizutsuku koto ni wa obie tachisukun demo
Mata nigeru ga kachi da to yowasa wo mitomenai
Furikazashite mo nani mo kirenai
Nuruma yuu de ikiru kokoro
Moesakaru hi no naka de ikudo mo
Uchi no mesare nagara togisumasare
Shinken ni nareru

Yowai mono to tsuyoi mono to
Sore wa doko de kimaru no ka
Genjitsu kara me wo somukete
Raku no hou he nigetagaru
Jibun no kenkai nado wa dare ga shiru no ka
Mata tobikomi mo sezu ni muri da to kimetsukeru
Hito no kotoba wo shinjiru mae ni
Mou ichido mitsume naose
Kinou to asu to kyou no jibun wo
Nani ka ga chigau no ka onaji na no ka
Omoi shiru darou

Furikazashite mo nani mo kirenai
Nuruma yuu de ikiru kokoro
Moesakaru hi no naka de ikudo mo
Uchi no mesare nagara togisumasare
Shinken ni nareru
Shinken ni nareru

-----------------English Translation--------------------

Enumerate nothing but reasons
And do nothing but defend myself
Before a dream of ideas
I consider excuses first

Even if I fear getting hurt
And stand petrified
Again I won't admit my weakness
That running away is victory

Even if I brandish my sword
I can't slice through anything
My heart that lives in tepid waters
While it is beaten down many times
Within the blazing fire
It'll be sharpened
And able to become serious

Weak things and strong things-
Where do I decide on those?
I want to avert my eyes from the reality
And escape to the comfortable side

Who knows
His or her own limit and such?
Without diving in yet
I decide that it's impossible

Before I believe in
The words of people
I look once more
Is there something different about the me
From yesterday and tomorrow and today?
Are they the same?
I'll realize it, right?

Even if I brandish my sword
I can't slice through anything
My heart that lives in tepid waters
While it is beaten down many times
Within the blazing fire
It'll be sharpened
And able to become serious
And able to become serious

真剣
歌：浅川悠 (青山素子)
作詞：木本慶子
作曲： 山崎利明
編曲：五島翔

理屈ばかり並べ立てて
自分を守ることばかり
思いつきの夢の前で
言い訳をまず考える

傷つくことには怯え
立ちすくんでも
また逃げるが勝ちだと
弱さを認めない

振りかざしても
何も斬れない
ぬるま湯で生きる心
燃えさかる火の中で
幾度も打ちのめされながら
研ぎ澄まされ
真剣になれる

弱いものと強いものと
それはどこで決まるのか
現実から目を背けて
楽な方へ逃げたがる

自分の限界などは
誰が知るのか
まだ飛び込みもせずに
無理だと決めつける

人の言葉を
信じる前に
もう一度見つめ直せ
昨日と明日と今日の
自分は何かが違うのか
同じなのか
思い知るだろう

振りかざしても
何も斬れない
ぬるま湯で生きる心
燃えさかる火の中で
幾度も打ちのめされながら
研ぎ澄まされ
真剣になれる
真剣になれる
