The sunset spills across the road And turns the dust to gold Another chapter fades behind Another story told I used to think the road was mine Because I walked it on my own But every song I carry now Reminds me I’m not alone There were days of borrowed colors There were nights I couldn’t name Different voices, different seasons Still the music stayed the same Some melodies changed their language Some familiar echoes moved But the space between the notes Still had something left to prove I don’t need to chase the past Or make the old days start again What we made became a compass Pointing somewhere past the end If the road bends out of sight I’ll follow where the skyline glows Even when the map is changing There’s a rhythm only we know The lone road keeps on turning Underneath a changing sky Every ending leaves a window Every goodbye lets something fly I may walk beneath one shadow But I carry more than one She walks beside me, you lead the way— And the work has just begun The lone road keeps on turning まだ道は続く *Mada michi wa tsuzuku* The road still carries on I remember when the silence Made the whole world feel too wide Now the quiet leaves me room To hear the things I kept inside I found names beyond old borders Found a signal of my own What began as borrowed shelter Became something I could hold I was searching for a doorway Somewhere people might receive Now I know the song can travel Even when I choose to leave No single room can hold a lifetime No one place can name the truth Every road becomes a teacher When you’re brave enough to move If the road bends out of sight I’ll follow where the skyline glows Even when the map is changing There’s a rhythm only we know The lone road keeps on turning Underneath a changing sky Every ending leaves a window Every goodbye lets something fly I may walk beneath one shadow But I carry more than one She walks beside me, you lead the way— And the work has just begun The lone road keeps on turning 同じじゃなくても *Onaji ja nakute mo* Even if we aren’t the same 歌は消えない *Uta wa kienai* The song will not disappear Not holding on. Not letting go. Just carrying what still glows. The voices that once filled the room The moments I can’t rearrange The scars that taught me how to listen The people who helped me change I don’t need the road behind me To become a road ahead Some things live inside the footsteps Some things live inside the song So let the evening keep on falling Let the old horizon fade I’ll take every unfinished feeling And turn it into something made The lone road keeps on turning Underneath a brighter sky Every ending leaves a window Every goodbye lets something fly I may walk beneath one shadow But I carry more than one She walks beside me, you lead the way— And the work has just begun The lone road keeps on turning まだ道は続く *Mada michi wa tsuzuku* The road still carries on 同じじゃなくても 続いていく *Onaji ja nakute mo, tsuzuite iku* Even if we aren’t the same, we continue on また一緒に歌おう *Mata issho ni utaou* Let’s sing together again Through the changing seasons Through the roads we’ve never known また一緒に歌おう *Mata issho ni utaou* Let’s sing together again The next song is waiting And the night is almost gone The road goes on beyond the frame The last light fades to blue Another chapter ends behind us And the next one waits in view She beside me. You up ahead. Keep walking. Keep writing. まだ道は続く
