What Are the Lyrics of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury's Opening Theme Song?

Here are the translated lyrics of The Blessing by YOASOBI via Lyrical Nonsense:

You fall asleep

Thinking of the stars floating in the distance

The future you choose, the path you wish to take

Wherever they may lead

Those stars will be living it with you

Memories of long ago

This planet has brought in tow

You’ve kept wishing,

If only you could jump

Into the twinkling scenery beyond

Alone in a lonely world

Praying and hoping

Imagining a dream

You look to the future

So if you’ve chosen to forge onward

Rather than run away…

It’s not the image someone else has drawn

It’s not the stage someone else has chosen

It’s a story we’re creating together

So you’ll never be alone again

Until the day the blade in your heart

Cuts through the chains

We’ll always be fighting together

A fate that’s already been decided?

Just break it

We’re not puppets

It’s your world, it’s your future

You can shape it into any story you want

As if you were running, as if you were hiding,

You climbed into this cockpit

But you’re not a crybaby anymore

Before you knew it, you’ve become so strong

This is your life

(It doesn’t belong to anyone)

There aren’t any answers

(Only the path you choose)

The spell has already been broken

So leave behind this predetermined fiction

Break out

And take flight

With a speed that no one can catch up to

Kick-off from the ground and soar through the air

This cursed future

Will be changed by your own hands

There’s surely so much you can grasp

By forging onward and never giving up

You can become even stronger

To be born upon this star

To go on living in this world

With a hope that you’ll love every moment

I give you all my blessings
