Lyrics
寄り添いたいと 願いながら
不器用なまま 歌ってきた
うまく言えない 夜のすみで
小さな声を 灯してきた
わかってほしい その気持ちを
胸の奥では 抱いてた
まっすぐ言うと 強すぎる気がして
こわくていつも 伏せていた
それでも 消えずにいた想いが
誰かの胸に 触れていたなら
こんなにやさしい ぬくもりが
返ってくるなんて 知らなかった
ここにいていいと
言葉より先に 届いてきたよ
寄り添いたいと
願っていたけど 支えられていた
ひとりでそっと
差し出したはずの この心が
気づけばちゃんと
やさしい光に 包まれていた
まっすぐ返って きた声に
飾らないままの 想いがあった
受け取ってるよ 大丈夫だよ
そんなぬくもりが そこにあった
支えたいって 思っていた
その手のひらを 見つめていたら
ほんとはずっと 支えられてたのは
わたしのほうだと 気づいたんだ
遠くへ 投げたつもりの 歌が
こんなに近くで 抱きしめられて
帰る場所って こういうものだって
静かな涙で わかっていくの
ここにいていいと
言葉より深く 響いてきたよ
わたしの歌に
応えてくれた そのぬくもりが
うれしくてただ
仲間のひとりで いられることが
こんなにも今日を
やさしく照らすなんて 知らなかったの
強くなくても きれいじゃなくても
まっすぐなまま 渡したかった
そのまま受け止めてくれる人が
もうここにいたと 知ってしまったの
なくしたくない
このつながりを
守りたいのは
もらった灯り
ここにいていいと
言葉より先に 届いてきたよ
寄り添いたいと
願っていたけど 支えられていた
ひとりじゃないと
胸の奥でいま やっと言えるよ
わたしも今度は
このあたたかさを 返していきたい
ここにいていい
それだけでいい
つながる声を
抱きしめながら
ここにいていい
わたしもここで
もらった光を
灯していくよ
********************
I longed to stay beside
Still clumsy as I was
In a quiet corner of the night
I kept a little light
I wanted you to know
The feeling in my heart
If I said it plain and true
The words would sound too strong
And still that feeling there
Refused to fade away
If it had touched somebody’s heart
I never knew this warmth could find me here
“It’s okay you’re here”
Reached me before the words
I wanted to stay close
But I was the one held up
The heart I softly thought
I’d offered all alone
Before I even knew it
Was wrapped in gentle light
In all the voices sent
So honestly to me
“I’m holding what you gave
You’re okay, you’ll be alright”
I thought that I should be
The one to lend a hand
But all that time I learned
I was the one held up
The song I thought I’d thrown
So far away from me
Was held so close, and through my tears
I learned what home can be
“It’s okay you’re here”
Rang deeper than all words
The warmth that answered back
To every song I gave
I’m simply happy now
To be one among you all
I never knew this day
Could shine so tenderly
Even if I’m not strong
Even if I’m not flawless
I wanted to hand it to you
Just the way it was
And those who’d take it in
Exactly as I am
I didn’t know till then
They’d already been right here
I never want to lose
This thread that carries on
The thing I want to keep
Is the light I was given
“It’s okay you’re here”
Reached me before the words
I wanted to stay close
But I was the one held up
I’m not alone now, I
Can finally say it clear
And from this moment on
I want to give this warmth back
It’s okay to be here
That’s all I really need
Holding every voice
Close against my heart
It’s okay to be here
And I will stay right here
I’ll take the light I got
And keep it glowing on
