Lyrics

sara no sukaato kaze ni yurashite
tachihadakatta nandai wo mae ni
hohoemi tatakau gaaru

massugu susumitai to tobidase do
magarikunetteku bokura no bukiyou wo
waraitobashite mitai no sa

mayoi wo matoi kizu wo seoi
yowakute utsukushii
kimi to tomo ni asu e mukau

neji koboreta jiyuu wo utae
te ni aru mono subete de odorou ze
mondai wa nanimo nai tada kono michi wo terasu dake
neji koboreta jiyuu wo utae
te ni aru mono igai wa nanmo nai ze
yorokobi de itoshisa de osore wo ima hakai seyo

juusu ni tokashite kuyashisa wo nonde
junbi sumasetara kyou no basho made
densha ni notte yorokeru ashi wo
sukoshi dake funbatte

mondai wa nanimo nai tada kono michi wo terasu dake
neji koboreta jiyuu wo utae
te ni aru mono igai wa nanmo nai ze
yorokobi de itoshisa de osore wo ima hakai seyo
yorokobi de itoshisa de osore wo ima hakai seyo

English Translation

Her brand new skirt swaying in the wind
In the face of a challenge in her way
The girl smiles and takes on the fight

Though flying out hoping to go straight
We end up going the winding road
We want to laugh off such awkwardness

Dressed in ambivalence and bearing scars
You’re fragile yet beautiful 
And I’m heading for tomorrow with you

Sing about freedom that’s twisted away
Let’s dance with everything we have in our hands
No problem here; we just light this road
Sing about freedom that’s twisted away
We have nothing but what we have in our hands
Destroy the fear right now with joy and love

Steady!

Dissolve the frustration in juice, drink it up
Get ready and off I go to today’s place
Almost staggering on the train
I planted my feet a little firmly 
And looked outside the window

Carrying expectations in our hearts, we dream
With the grazed palms of our hands
We still choose tomorrow despite being lousy

Grow from the bottom up
Straighten your backbone towards heaven like a flower
Though swayed by the tide of people and cannot walk well
It’s okay to cower and lower your gaze every once in a while
By the eyes watching over you here and there
Keep record of each and every moment of surprise and loss
I caressed and admired the colored bruise from the stumble
We went into it against the wind
And the entrance turned out to be the exit

Sing about freedom that’s twisted away
Let’s dance with everything we have in our hands
No problem here; we just light this road
Sing about freedom that’s twisted away
We have nothing but what we have in our hands
Destroy the fear right now with joy and love
Destroy the fear right now with joy and love

Steady!
