I know what I have to do
I can feel it in my blood
This day that I’m living…
Is the tomorrow my father wanted to live

Connected lives reside here
And your journey is pulsating
Running upon tracks of blood
Are hundreds of billions of heartbeats

So small, yet so sure
Your hands grasps mine back
The warmth that I embrace
Is the future of the family my father wanted to love

Never stagnant
Never ending
A beat that keeps on ticking

The flowing of blood teaches me
The meaning of life, the path of life

The flowing of blood leads to
The meaning of today, the path of tomorrow

Sometimes the water gets muddy
Sometimes the water becomes clear
Each person has their own river
Each one has its own destiny

If you were here
If I were able to hold your hand
If I were able to embrace your warmth
I wonder how you might have smiled

Never stagnant
Never ending
A beat that keeps on ticking

If love were to be wounded
Then only love can attend to it

If love were to be broken
Then only love can protect it

Eventually
You will hurt someone else
And surely, eventually
You will be hurt by someone else

The people I’ve hurt
The family my mother protected
The wind of the hometown I ran from
And the home my father wanted to return to

Never stagnant
Never ending
A beat that keeps on ticking

This heartbeat connects me
To my father and mother

The flowing of blood teaches me
The meaning of life, the path of life

The flowing of blood leads to
The meaning of today, the path of tomorrow

My father’s journey becomes my journey
My journey becomes your journey
Running upon tracks of blood
Are hundreds of billions of heartbeats

何をすべきかわかっている
それはこの血が知っている
僕が生きてる今日という日は
父が生きたかった明日の続き

繋がれた生命がここにある
君の旅が脈打ってる
血の轍を走ってゆく
幾千億回の鼓動

とても小さく　だが確かに
握り返してくる掌
僕が抱きしめるこの体温は
父が愛したかった家族の未来

淀みなく
とめどなく
刻み続ける鼓動

流れる血が教えるものは
生きる意味　生きる道

流れる血が導くものは
今日の意味　明日の道

時に水は濁り
時に清流となり
人それぞれの大河があり
それぞれの定めがある

もしもあなたがここにいたなら
君の掌を握ったなら
君の体温を抱きしめたなら
どんな笑顔で笑っただろう

淀みなく
とめどなく
刻み続ける鼓動

愛がもし傷を負ったら
愛でしか触れない

愛がもし壊れたならば
愛でしか守れない

君はやがて誰かを
傷付けてしまうだろう
君もまたきっと誰かに
傷付けられるだろう

僕が傷付けた人たちと
母が守った家族の日々と
僕が逃げ出した故郷の風と
父が帰りたかったあの家と

淀みなく
とめどなく
刻み続ける鼓動

父と母から
繋がれたこの鼓動

流れる血が教えるものは
生きる意味　生きる道

流れる血が導くものは
今日の意味　明日の道

父の旅は僕の旅になり
僕の旅は君の旅へ
血の轍を走ってゆく
幾千億回の鼓動
