Kanji:

現在のこんな未来を僕は想像してただろうか?
現在のこんな未来を君は想像してただろうか?

現在のこんな未来を僕は望んでいたのだろうか?
現在のこんな未来を君は望んでいたのだろうか?

始まりなのかって?　終焉なのかって?
諦めたのかって?　踏ん張ってんのかって?

開き直ったかって?　絶望したかって?
ただ前に進めと　あなたが言うんじゃない

現在のこんな時代を僕は受け止められるだろうか?
現在のこんな時代を君は受け止められるだろうか?

身を任せんのかって?　食い止めたいのかって?
見て見ぬフリかって?　見てもいないのかって?

戦ってんのかって?　白旗なのかって?
犠牲者面して　逃げてる場合じゃない

ねえ　僕等とこの世界は減速する様子もなく
このまま加速度だけが増し続けたら

始まりなのかって?　終焉なのかって?
諦めたのかって?　踏ん張ってんのかって?

開き直ったかって?　絶望したかって?
ただ前に進めと　あなたが言うんじゃない

泣かないでいられるのは
強くなったから
それとも・・・

Translation:
Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?

Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?

They ask me "The beginning or the end?"
"Did you give up Or are you holding on?"
"Are you shrugging off Or in despair?"
You tell me Just to go forward

Am I able to handle this kind of era?
Are you able to handle this kind of era?

Should I leave my body, or remain trapped inside it?
Should I pretend I can see it, or is it just not there anyway?
Should I fight, or raise the white flag?
I'm not going to run away like a victim

In this world, we have to slow down because we don't know everything
That way, we can continue down a cleared path

They ask me "The beginning or the end?"
"Did you give up Or are you holding on?"
"Are you shrugging off Or in despair?"
You tell me Just to go forward

Is it because I've become strong
That I can be without tears

IT'S KINDA LIKE THE NUTCRACKER MUSIC LIKE THE TOY SOLDIERS MARCHING IT'S REALLY REALLY COOL SHE ALWAYS MAKES SUCH COOL SONGS
