Lyrics & Music by Yasunori Hayashi
Shangri-La, come back to me, a utopia of light and life
Shangri-La, shine bright, off to the island where the miraculous wind blows
The sorrowed who were thrown into despair still play games with Death
Having lost sight of a reason to live, they cried saying "I just want to die"
Even if those you love are stolen from you, even if your hopes and dreams are broken
Even so, you're still alive, don't you see?
Let's go to Shangri-La, you can't let yourself be afraid of being hurt
Can you hear, Shangri-La? You can't go on running away from the pain
You've realized now, Shangri-La, it isn't about getting used to your pain
The most important thing is, Shangri-La, never forgetting those wounds
The flame was too young, extinguished by the touch of a fingertip
Shining with all your strength, you cried as you said "I still want to live"
The world won't change with just a song, the world won't be saved with just one song
But if that song becomes your smile, then I want to sing
I don't need any Shangri-La, that single moment of desolation and hypocrisy
Shangri-La, close your eyes, your wishes are in the sky, and love in your hands
Embrace Shangri-La, sing of its natural beauty along with the birds
Shangri-La, right by your side, to the morning where the sky is dyed in blue
Shangri-La, come back to me, a utopia of light and life
Shangri-La, shine bright, off to the island where the miraculous wind blows
Dancing high into the sky, now is the time we become one
Carried by the wind, Shangri-La, the two of us aren't so alone after all
If I just take your hand, now, here will be Shangri-La
