No matter how far the road may be
I had the courage to take that very first step
Even if I crash over and over
Even if I trip countless times
I know I'll reach my destination

Always
Just chasing the view I saw that day
Isn't enough to catch up to it
Even after thousands of tries
Even after tens of thousands of setbacks
Sometimes I feel like giving it all up

But my stubborn heart
Keeps shouting "You can still fight"
So I pour my wish into strength again

Even so I'll keep fighting
Even if it means losing something
Even if it all turns out to be a mistake
The only one who can change the present
Is me and me alone
Go beyond-become the hero I once admired

[Full Version Continues]

[thanks for visiting animesonglyrics.com]

There are far more things that don't pay off
But instead of just grieving over them
It's okay to get scraped up okay to go off course
No need to be afraid Try it again

Even a broken clock
Points to the right time twice a day
In the same way
Everything I've built up
One by one becomes the answer

No matter how worn down I get
No matter how lost I feel
If I've made up my mind to seize tomorrow
Then it's never too late
I can still rise again

Even so I'll keep fighting
Even if I lose something
Even if everything turns out to be wrong
The only one who can change the now
Is me and me alone
I'll push beyond to the end of my feelings
And the one who stood there for me
Was the hero I always admired
My hero
[ Correct these Lyrics ]

どんな遠い道のりでも 
踏み出す1歩目の勇気があったんだ
何度もぶつかって 
何度躓いても 
きっと辿り着けるから

ずっと
あの日見た景色を 
追いかけてるだけじゃ追い付けなくて
何千回挑んでも 
何万回も挫けて 
全部投げ出しそうだけど

聞き分けない心臓が 
「まだ頑張れる」って叫ぶから
また強く 願い込めた

それでも戦って 
何かを失って 
全て間違いだとしても
今を変えれるのは 
自分自身だけなんだ
越えてゆけ 憧れたヒーロー

[アニメソングリリックスのご利用ありがとうございます]

報われないことの方が 
多過ぎるって嘆いてばっかりじゃなくて
擦り剥いたっていいから はみ出したっていいから
No need to be afraid. Try it again.

刻むことを諦めた時計でも 
毎日2回正しい時を指す様に
積み重ねてきた 
ひとつひとつが 答えになる

どれほど削れたって 
どれだけ迷ったって 
明日を握り締めるために
覚悟決めたのなら 
遅過ぎることはない 
立ち上がれるから

それでも戦って 
何かを失って 
全て間違いだとしても
今を変えれるのは 
自分自身だけなんだ
乗り越えてく 想いの果てへ
そこに居てくれたのは 
憧れたヒーロー
僕のヒーロー

English Title: From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman
Released: 2025

[Correct Info]

A middle-aged, humble swordsmanship instructor, Beryl Gardenant, runs a dojo in a rural village. The days when he aspired to reach the peak as a swordsman are long past, and he has come to terms with his abilities, now living a quiet, relaxed life. One day, after ten years, one of his former students, Alyucia, who has risen to the position of captain of the kingdom’s knights, pays him a visit.

"I’ve recommended you as a special instructor attached to the knights, and it has been officially approved."

Beryl, who had resigned himself to quietly living out his life in the countryside, finds his fate drastically changing!

City life. Reuniting with former students who have greatly grown. Meeting new companions and powerful enemies.

"I’m just an old man past his prime; this is too much for me..." Beryl thinks, but his sword skills, honed with years of dedication, have reached such a level that he is now known as the "Sword Saint of the Countryside"!
