Ayumi Hamasaki - Walking Proud

english:

walking proud my lips told a lie for a trivial reason i suppose it was for no one else but only to protect me when i was thoughtless when i noticed, i was trapped and at a loss surrounded by countless lies (*) the sky i looked up at was beautiful i thought of you i wished i could walk with firm steps facing forward like you but i escaped from the reality escaped from all the pain i said to myself "i'll be my ideal self some day though i'm far from that now" after such excuses, my eyes were opened what i could do was only to live in the present time (**) does this voice reach you? does it ring in your heart? i'm walking on today looking at your back as a guidepost to live (*) repeat (**) repeat
