Lyrics

kirari chou ga tondetta
sunabokori ga daichi ni mau
haruka kanata sore demo sora ni akogareta
niramedo hoshi wa ochinai
dou yatte tsukamaeyou?
kono basho kara

toozakaru gunjou no shita de byoudou ga wana wo haru
heya ni hari ga ochiru
hikage to hizashi majiwari entoropii ga michiteku
seigenteki jiyuu no naka de kimi wa dou ikiru no ka tte
towareta mitai da

Step by Step sukoshizutsu
tsukamitorun da hikari wo
henka wa kowakunai shinka wo togeyou
haiagaru nando demo
sora wa itsudemo matte iru
bokura wa chikyuu tte heya wo aruku tabibito

semarikuru uso no oto fuantei na azamuki
nigeyou to wa omowanai
omoide wo tsumiagete irokoku naru shitsuon
sashinoberu kara tsukande sekai wa kimi dake janai
tomo ni tatakau yo

Day by Day mitsukatta
ibasho no naka de tashika ni
musubitsuiteku kizuna ga aru kara
kyozou tachi kuzureteku
hontou no chikara mukidasu
bokura wa iku beki sora ni chikazuite iru

fuwari chou ga hana ni tou “ima no basho de manzoku kai?”
sora wo se ni shite utsukushiku azawaratteta
daichi wo keri chou ni tsuzuku
bokura wa ima tobitatsu

Step by Step sukoshizutsu
tsukamitorun da hikari wo
henka wa kowakunai shinka wo togeyou
haiagaru nando demo
sora wa itsudemo matte iru
hitori ja hirakenai tobira no mae
kimi to issho naraba jiyuu ni nareru

English Translation

A butterfly flew away with a sparkle
There's dust being blown around
On the ground
Far beyond
Still, I yearned for the sky
No matter how much I glare
The stars do not fall
How should I capture them?
From this place

Under the vanishing ultramarine blue
Equality sets a trap
A needle falls in the room
Shadows change to sunlight
Filling the place with entropy
It's as though I were asked
How I would live in a world
Where my freedom was restricted

Step by step, little by little
I'm going to reach for the light
I'm not afraid of change
I can evolve
I'll pull myself up, over and over
The sky is always waiting for me
We are
Travelers who walk in a room called Earth

The looming sound of lies
The random deception
I'm not going to run away
Piling on the memories
The room temperature gets darker
I'll reach for you so grab it
You're not alone in this world
I will fight together with you

Day by day, in a place
We've found to be where we belong
There's a solid connection
Between you and me
False images are falling apart
True strength will be exposed
We are
Getting closer to the sky
Where we ought to be

The floating butterfly asks the flower
"Are you satisfied with where you are?"
With its wings against the sky
It scoffs in a beautiful way
We'll kick the ground
And follow the butterfly
We're now flying off into the sky

Step by step, little by little
I'm going to reach for the light
I'm not afraid of change
I can evolve
I'll pull myself up, over and over
The sky is always waiting for me
The door in front of me
Can't be opened alone
If I'm together with you
I can be free
