**「What We Live For」**
I wake up, same old street
Same tired air, same moving feet
I don’t dream of standing above
Just one day that feels like enough
( Oooh…)
I work, I eat, I close my eyes
I watch the seasons pass me by
They say “Be quiet, wait your turn”
But every wait is something burned
(Something burned…)
If this is life they planned for me
Why does it feel like I can’t breathe
(Can’t breathe…)
We want a life, not standing tall
Just ground to stand on, that is all
(Not too much, not too high)
We want to live before we’re gone
To know this breath is really ours
(This is life, this is now)
(We want a life)
(We want a life)
(We want a life)
I see my face in tired eyes
People just trying to survive
Born with hearts, born with names
But taught too soon to feel ashamed
(So ashamed…)
They draw the lines, they set the rules
And say that fate decides it all
(It’s fate… they say…)
We want a life, not just a place
Not just a number, not our face
(Let me stand)
We want a voice, we want it free
If this is fate, then let us choose
(This is us, this is true)
(We want a life)
(We want it now)
One life, one heart, one fragile flame
One short road, one given name
If this is all the time we own
I won’t disappear alone
(Not alone…)
Step by step, breath by breath
Living more than fear of death
(We are here)
(We are here)
(We are here)
We want a life, we want it free
No more silence, no bent knees
(Stand straight, stand clear)
This is our blood, our voice, our choice
We won’t give up these days we have
(Stay here, stay real)
(Stay here)
(Stay real)
(Stay here, stay real)
When morning comes, I’ll still be here
Still afraid, but standing clear
Clear… clear…

**「私たちは何のために生きる」**
目を覚ます いつもの通り
疲れた空気 流れる人並み
上に立ちたいわけじゃない
ただ「今日がある」と思いたい
(Oooh…)
働いて 食べて 目を閉じる
季節が静かに通り過ぎる
「黙って待て」と言われても
待つたびに何かが燃えていく
(Something burned…)
これが用意された人生なら
なぜ息をするのも苦しい
(Can’t breathe…)
欲しいのは 高く立つことじゃない
ただ立てる場所が欲しいだけ
(Not too much, not too high)
消える前に ちゃんと生きたい
この息が 自分のものだと
(This is life, this is now)
(We want a life)
(We want a life)
(We want a life)
疲れた目で 自分を見る
生き延びるだけの人たち
心と名前を持って生まれ
早すぎる恥を教えられた
(So ashamed…)
線を引いて 決まりを作り
それを運命だと言い切る
(It’s fate… they say…)
欲しいのは 居場所じゃなく
番号でも 顔でもない
(Let me stand)
声を上げる 自由が欲しい
運命なら 選ばせてほしい
(This is us, this is true)
(We want a life)
(We want it now)
命はひとつ 心もひとつ
短い道と 与えられた名
これが全てなら せめて
ひとりで消えたくはない
(Not alone…)
一歩ずつ 息を吸って
死ぬ怖さ以上に生きる
(We are here)
(We are here)
(We are here)
生きたいんだ 自由のまま
黙らない ひざを折らない
(Stand straight, stand clear)
この血も 声も 選択も
今日という日を 手放さない
(Stay here, stay real)
(Stay here)
(Stay real)
(Stay here, stay real)
朝が来ても ここにいる
怖くても まっすぐに
Clear… clear…
