Ramen Dreams & Rainy Streets

Verse 1 – English

Bills keep piling, lights might go

Wallet’s lighter than the snow

Cup of noodles for dinner again

Dreams on hold ’til I win

Pre-Chorus – Japanese

お金がないよ (Okane ga nai yo)

でも諦めない (Demo akiramenai)

明日はきっと (Ashita wa kitto)

光が見える (Hikari ga mieru)

Chorus – English & Japanese

No money in my hand (手に何もない)

But I’ve got a plan (夢を追いかけて)

Walking through the rain

With hope in my veins

Kimi to nara, I’ll make it through—

Even when the sky is blueless

Bridge – Japanese

バス停のベンチで

星を見てる (Hoshi wo miteru)

未来はまだ青い

(Yume wa tada, chotto mawari-michi)

Outro – English, soft fade

Empty pockets… but my heart’s still full…

Yeah… still full…

(Extended Outro – English & Japanese, laid-back)

Counting change by the street light

Shadows moving but my goals in sight

聞こえる鼓動 (Kikoeru kodou)

Slow steps, but I fight

Words written in notebooks, faded on the sides

昔の夢, still alive (Mukashi no yume, still alive)

City noise, but my mind’s real calm

心に炎, never gone (Kokoro ni honoo, never gone)

Clouds drifting, pain turning to pride

誰にも負けない (Dare ni mo makenai)

Another night, another morning—rise
