Lyrics

boku ga umareta hi no sora wa takaku tooku harewatatte ita
itte oide to senaka wo naderu koe wo kiita ano hi

kisetsu no naka de surechigai toki ni hito wo kizutsuke nagara
hikari ni furete kage wo nobashite sara ni sora wa tooku

kaze wo uke hashiridasu gareki wo koete iku
kono michi no yukusaki ni dareka ga matte iru
hikari sasu yume wo miru itsu no hi mo
tobira wo ima akehanatsu himitsu wo abaku you ni
akitarazu omoihaseru chikyuugi wo mawasu you ni

boku ga aishita ano hito wa daremo shiranai tokoro e itta
ano hi no mama no yasashii kao de ima mo dokoka tooku

ame wo uke utaidasu hitome mo kamawazu
kono michi ga tsuzuku no wa tsuzuke to negatta kara
mata deau yume wo miru itsu made mo
hitokakera nigirikonda himitsu wo wasurenu you ni
saigo made omoihaseru chikyuugi wo mawasu you ni

chiisana jibun no tadashii negai kara hajimaru mono
hitotsu sabishisa wo kakae boku wa michi wo magaru

kaze wo uke hashiridasu gareki wo koete iku
kono michi no yukusaki ni dareka ga matte iru
hikari sasu yume wo miru itsu no hi mo
tobira wo ima akehanatsu himitsu wo abaku you ni
te ga fureau yorokobi mo tebanashita kanashimi mo
akitarazu egaite iku chikyuugi wo mawasu you ni

English Translation

The clear sky on the day I was born was so high, distant, and endless
The day I heard a voice patting me on the back telling me to go ahead

Faces I met in the seasons, at times hurting one another
Shine by the light, the shadow extends as the sky grows further away

I catch the wind and start running, overcoming the rubble
At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me
Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week
Open the door this moment, like revealing hidden secrets
Can’t hold myself longing for more, like the spinning globe

The person I loved has gone to somewhere no one knows
With the usual kind smile as any other day, still somewhere far away

I take in the rain and start singing, not minding if seen
This road continues because I wished it would continue
I dream of meeting again, for ever and ever
I grasped the fragment firmly, so the secret remains
I’ll keep longing till the end, like the spinning globe

It all starts from an innocent wish made long ago
Carrying the loneliness in my heart, I turn the corner

I catch the wind and start running, overcoming the rubble
At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me
Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week
Open the door this moment, like revealing hidden secrets
The joy of holding ones hand, the suffering of losing one
Can’t hold myself from picturing, like the spinning globe
