My measure (lecca LIVE 2017 People on the High Street)

必要と思われることなら全部
やってきた私にはロスも多くて
もっと簡単にたどりつけたはずの
ここまで来るのにだいぶ遠回りした
私が私でいるため
切り取って 手放してきたいくつもの
安心や妥協や夢さえ
いつの間にか なつかしくなる

昨日よりも 強くいられるために
なくすものよりも 得るものが
どれだけ大きいか 歯をくいしばりながら噛みしめた

何が正解なんて分からない
どれか一つだけってこともない
いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう
そうすれば 涙こぼれても we′re just fine

分かるのは途切れない自分の気持ち
まだまだやれるんだ、ってもがいてるの
もっともっと ゆけるだけ
This is my measure, all by my measure

見本のいない私にとって
ゆずれない現場は他でもないここで
こっから世界を変える、なんて大それた夢を
胸に抱いてるの
私が走ることで
もしかしてどこかの誰かがまた
笑ってくれるなら、ね
いつもよりか うれしくて

分からないなら 信じるしかない
目を閉じてては 知ることもできない
きっと最高の景色 目にするためすすむから

何が正解なんて分からない
どれか一つだけってこともない
いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう
そうすれば 涙こぼれても we're just fine

ストイックに生きることがかっこいいとは思わない、けど
これしかないから 誰にも胸の情熱は負けないの
失敗も経験のうち、そう思えるよう 目をそらさずに
自らの歩いた道 いつまでも忘れぬように
正しい答えなんてないから 自らの炎でLight Up
みんながみんな火を燃やすから 時には意見はまとまらないさ
でもそれでもぶつかるぐらいが ゆくべき場所が見えてこないか?
誰もが理想かかげるFighter 泣いたあと歩み止めないで

何が正解なんて分からない
どれか一つだけってこともない
いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう
そうすれば 涙こぼれても we′re just fine

どこが限界なんて決めてない
あと少しでも前に進みたい
ほら自分のものさしで選んでゆこう
なくしてきた分まで得られれば we're just fine

分かるのは途切れない自分の気持ち
まだまだやれるんだ、ってもがいてるの
もっともっと ゆけるだけ
This is my measure, all by my measure

My measure (lecca LIVE 2017 People on the High Street)

I've done everything I thought was necessary,
and with that came a lot of loss.
I could have reached this point
much more easily, but I took a long detour.
To be myself,
I had to cut away and let go of many things—
security, compromise, even dreams.
Before I knew it, they became nostalgic memories.

To be stronger than yesterday,
I gritted my teeth and convinced myself
that what I gained was far greater than what I lost.

I don't know what the right answer is,
and there's not just one path.
Let's walk with our own measuring stick now.
That way, even if tears fall, we're just fine.

All I know is that my feelings are unwavering.
I'm still struggling, believing I can do more.
As much as I can, as far as I can go,
This is my measure, all by my measure.

For me, with no role model to follow,
the place I can't compromise is right here, right now.
I hold onto the audacious dream
of changing the world from here.
If by running,
I can make someone, somewhere smile,
then, you know,
I'd be even happier than usual.

If I don't know, I just have to believe.
With my eyes closed, I can't learn anything.
I'll keep moving forward to see the most amazing scenery.

I don't know what the right answer is,
and there's not just one path.
Let's walk with our own measuring stick now.
That way, even if tears fall, we're just fine.

I don't think living stoically is cool, but
this is all I have, so I won't lose to anyone in the passion in my heart.
I'll face my failures head-on, believing they're part of the experience,
so I'll never forget the path I've walked.
There's no right answer, so light up with your own flame.
Since everyone burns their own fire, sometimes opinions don't align.
But even then, wouldn't clashing a little help us see the place we should go?
Everyone's a fighter holding onto their ideals, so don't stop walking after you cry.

I don't know what the right answer is,
and there's not just one path.
Let's walk with our own measuring stick now.
That way, even if tears fall, we're just fine.

I haven't decided where my limit is.
I want to move forward, even if it's just a little bit.
Come on, let's choose with our own measuring stick.
If we can gain as much as we've lost, we're just fine.

All I know is that my feelings are unwavering.
I'm still struggling, believing I can do more.
As much as I can, as far as I can go,
This is my measure, all by my measure.
