English= <poem> The more we walk, the dirtier the soles of our shoes get In the same way, our souls develop shadows as they're worn down In times like that, remember why you can't give up I thought I saved you, but think I was saved instead I thought I grabbed your hand, but you actually grabbed mine
Let there be light on all of our journeys I can't speak of strength or weakness Each step you took forward was a victory for your bravery Like inhaling in order to shout, an approach is needed to jump high In order to laugh, we cried, and that's not called defeat Longhope Philia </poem> </tabber></center>

時を経ては変わってく 街並みも友達も 大抵は離れて分かる 寄る辺なさは瞭然たる感傷 ましてや自分 僕は僕を離れられぬやましさを背負って だから友よ見届けてくれ 変わったのじゃなく変えたのだ
遍く挫折に光あれ 成功、失敗に意味はないぜ 最終話で笑った奴へ トロフィーとしてのハッピーエンド 願わなきゃ傷つかなかった 望まなきゃ失望もしなかった それでも手を伸ばすからこその その傷跡を称え給え ロングホープ・フィリア
諦めて疑って塞いで 期待外れって言われたっけ でも失くしたことが武器になった それがどん底に咲いた花 遠き友よ 今ではもう蒼い星座 少なからず僕ら生きてる 荷物ならばそれで充分だ
遍く命に光あれ 生きる為に理由はいらないぜ うなだれても踏み留まった そこをスタートラインと呼ぶんだ 今日の君が笑ったことで 敗北も無駄にはならなかった 故に咲くどん底の花 友よ、末永い希望を ロングホープ・フィリア </poem>

LONG HOPE PHILIA LONG HOPE PHILIA LONG HOPE PHILIA </poem>
English= <poem> The more we walk, the more the bottom of our shoes become soiled in the same way If we wear out our souls we’ll be overshadowed At times like that remember the reason why you can’t give up I was saved when I thought I was doing the saving, my hand was held when I thought I was holding the hand
Let light shine throughout the journey, can’t be summed up in terms of strengths or weaknesses Each step that leads you to what it is you’re confronting is a victory brought on by your courage Just like you need to breathe in to shout, an approach run’s necessary to jump high We cried so we could laugh, that’s not defeat Long hope philia
Time changes city streets and friends You usually learn once you’re apart, sentimentality becomes evident when you have no one to lean on Furthermore, I’m burdened by the guilt of not being able to get away from myself So friend, watch over me until the end, I didn’t change unwittingly, I changed with intent
Let light shine over our setbacks, success, failures have no meaning To those that laughed in the final episode, a happy ending that serves as a trophy Wouldn’t have been hurt if I hadn’t hoped, wouldn’t have lost hope if I didn’t have any expectations And yet I keep reaching out so give praise to those wounds Long hope philia
Gave up, distrusted, and closed myself off, told I was a letdown But my losses became my ammunition, a flower that blooms down in the dumps My friend, so far away now a blueish constellation, at least we’re still alive That’s all the luggage we need
Let light shine on life, life doesn’t require a reason Head hung low, yet still resisted, that’s what you call the starting line Because you laughed today this failure wasn’t in vain Therefore, oh flower blooming down in the dumps, friend, an everlasting hope Long hope philia </poem> </tabber></center>
