Lyrics AKB48 - Otona e no Michi

- The Road to Adulthood -

Though these watering eyes
Have held out for so long…
When I smiled
Suddenly, from the corners
Hot tears flowed

Instead of being sad
I wanted to say
Thank you
For everything you've done up til now
On the train station bench
Like always
While waiting for the last train…

I'll wipe away my tears
And start walking
I can see it
The road to adulthood
By overcoming
Many difficulties
Every person
Becomes strong
I'll wipe away my tears
And start walking
Step by step
I'll make my way forward
At long last,
The wind will blow past
And these damp cheeks
Will begin to dry

I made you worry
Ah, I'm so sorry
I know that I can't
Go on like this
But it's so painful inside my heart

I don't need memories
Or anything
I looked back
In the instant
The door of the train closed
And I waved goodbye to myself

I will live on
Facing forward
On the long, steep
Road to adulthood
Every time
The sun rises
Every person
Is reborn
I will live on
Facing forward
Believing
In the 'now' I was given
All the things
That happened to me
They were all
For the sake of the future

I'll wipe away my tears
And start walking
I can see it
The road to adulthood
By overcoming
Many difficulties
Every person
Becomes strong
I'll wipe away my tears
And start walking
Step by step
I'll make my way forward
At long last,
The wind will blow past
And these damp cheeks
Will begin to dry

La la la…

I'll wipe away my tears
And start walking
I can see it
The road to adulthood
