"Inochi.
Dare mo ga motte iru mono.
Soshite dare mo ga kanarazu ushinau mono.
Inochi tte ittai nan darou...
Ore-tachi wa nan no tame ni, 
nani wo motomete ikite iru n' darou...
Ore-tachi ga umareta hoshi, 
taiyoukei no daisan wakusei, chikyuu...
Ningen no isshou nante uchuu no rekishi ni 
kurabetara hon no isshun kamo shirenai.
Demo, jibun jishin ni totte wa ichiban nagai jikan, 
Ichiban taisetsu na jikan.
Munashiku wa ikitaku nai."

Naze ikiru no ka ore wa shiranai
Naze tatakau ka sore mo shiranai
Keredo kokoro no ase ga chishio ga
Yami no hate e to karitateru
Dare ka ni au tabi kodoku ga fukamari
Inochi no kizu ga fuete yuku no ni
Yoromeku ashi wo ashita e mukeru
Ore wa otoko hoshi no tabibito

Mirai no chizu mo yakusoku mo nai
Shinu toki made wa yasuragi mo nai
Keredo dare ka no juu ni makete mo
Maketaku wa nai munashisa ni
Yukeba yuku hodo uchuu wa hirogari
Kibou wa tooku nigete yuku no ni
Chikara no kagiri te wo sashinoberu
Ore wa otoko hoshi no tabibito

"Life.
It's something we all have.
And something we will all lose.
What is life?
Why are we alive? 
What do we seek while alive?
Our birthplace, 
the third planet in the solar system, Earth
Our lives are mere moments 
Compared to the history of the universe.
But to us, it is the longest span of time.
The most important time.
We would certainly not want to waste it."

Why am I alive? I do not know
Why am I fighting? I do not know either
But my sweat, blood and spirit
Take me to the depths of darkness
Whenever I meet someone, my loneliness deepens
My wounds simply increase
Yet my feet turn about, facing tomorrow
I am a man, a wanderer among the stars

I have neither promises nor a map of the future
Till I die I cannot rest
Even if I lose to someone else's gun
I would not want to lose the battle to mere feelings of emptiness
The further I go, the bigger the univers gets
Hope has fled far, far away
Yet I still reach out with all my might
I am a man, a wanderer among the stars
