People leave splashes of colors painted in the past. Among them, there are various tones varying from the darker to the hotter ones. Eventually, the day will come where you can change the meaning behind these colors and could even over-painted your entire past with a full rainbow-colored future. You are the only person who can save yourself. You are the hero. I wrote this song hoping this song could be your main theme.

In our everyday lives, it's easy to get caught up in negative emotions. Even if a future full of challenges lies ahead, there's an undying hope inside us. You'll never know until you try. Just wield your biggest weapon, your will to change and become stronger. Muster up that inner voice and use it as energy. There isn't a single hero that had it figured out since the start. My wish for this song is to grow stronger alongside the story and more important, alongside you.
