Greetings, you who are reading this
Where are you and what are you doing now?
I'm 15 and there's something worrying me
That I can't talk to anyone about

But if I address a letter to my future self
Then I know I'll be able to speak my mind

I feel like giving up now
I feel like crying, I feel like I'm going to disappear
Whose words should I trust as I move forward?
My one and only heart has broken
Into pieces time and time again
And I'm living through painful times now
I'm living in the present

Greetings, thank you
I have something to tell your 15 year old self
If you keep asking yourself why and where you should go
The answer will become clear

The seas of adolescence can be rough
But keep sailing the boat's dream towards tomorrow's shore

Don't give up now, don't cry when you
Feel you're going to disappear, then you should
Trust your own voice and move forward
Cos even an adult like me gets
Hurt and has sleepless nights
But I'm living in the bittersweet present

Everything in life has meaning
So don't be afraid to follow your dream
La la la, la la la, la la la
Keep on believing
La la la, la la la, la la la
Keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing

I feel like giving up now
I feel like crying, I feel like I'm going to disappear
Whose words should I trust as I move forward?
Ah, don't give up now, don't cry when you
Feel you're going to disappear, then you should
Trust your own voice and move forward
No matter what stage of your life you're in
You can't get by without going through sadness
Show me a smile, let's live in the present
Let's live in the present

Greetings, I pray that you
Who are reading this, will be happy

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたは
どこで何をしているのだろう　
十五の僕には誰にも話せない
悩みの種があるのです

未来の自分に宛てて書く手紙なら
きっと素直に打ち明けられるだろう

今 負けそうで 泣きそうで
消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの？
ひとつしかないこの胸が
何度もばらばらに割れて
苦しい中で今を生きている
今を生きている

拝啓 ありがとう 十五のあなたに
伝えたい事があるのです
自分とは何でどこへ向かうべきか
問い続けられば見えてくる

荒れた青春の海は厳しいけれど
明日の岸辺へと 夢の舟よ進め

今 負けないで 泣かないで
消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
大人の僕も傷ついて
眠れない夜はあるけど
苦くて甘い今を生きている

人生の全てに意味があるから
恐れずにあなたの夢を育てて
La la la, la la la, la la la
Keep on believing
La la la, la la la, la la la
Keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing

負けそうで 泣きそうで
消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を神事歩けばいいの？
ああ 負けないで
泣かないで 消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
いつの時代も悲しみを
避けては通れないけれど
笑顔を見せて 今を生きていこう
今を生きていこう

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたが
幸せな事を願います
