Lyrics

shabon no you ni tokihanatarete hajiketa
taema nai fuan to dareka no risou ga

nee waratte mitsumete
ano koro no yume no iro wa
hajikeru mae ni utsushidashita nijiiro

suikome bamu se te tobenai mama de
ochireba rinkaku dake wo nokoshite kieru
ano sora to boku wo hikari de sukashite
oremagari nagara naniiro ni toberu?

akogare ga boku ni tsukitsuketa yume yo samenai mama de
boku wa nando mo saisei suru tagatame?

boroboro no sekai nagamete ubawareta mono wo narabete
tachiagareru ka haiagareru ka
sono saki ni hikaru purizumu
itsuka kono karada ga kiete mo kesenai hodo no kagayaki wo
dareka no tame ni nokosasete

fureru mo no subete kowashite bakari
ano hi ni rinkaiten wo koetan da
boku ni wa nannimo nai kara
naniiro demo nai karaa
sashinoberareteru sono te ga kaibutsu da to shite

kibou ni mo zetsubou ni mo aete shimau kono negai ga
nikushimi wo saisei suru tagatame?

daremo ga miageru hodo takai ano sora no ao ga risou nara
todokanakute mo todokanakute mo
kono chi yo mugen no ao ni nare
itsuka sono yume ga tatarete mo
kesenai hodo no kagayaki wo
anata no tame ni nokosasete

boku wa dareka no tame ni boku wa dareka ni nareru?
nakusu kowasa wo koete ima sora ni hajiketa

boku wa dareka no tame ni subete wo sasagerareru

konna ni mo kowarete konna ni mo kowakute
sore demo eien ni oikakeru yo

shabon no you ni tokihanatarete hajiketa
taema nai fuan to dareka no risou ga

nee waratte mitsumete
ano koro no yume no iro wa
hajikeru mae ni utsushidashita nijiiro

English Translation

Set free and burst like a soap bubble
Ceaseless anxiety and ideals for someone

Hey, smile and look
The color of hope in those days is
A rainbow reflected before the burst

Inhaled, it chokes and remains flightless
When it falls, leaving but an outline, it fades
Making the sky and me transparent with light
In its zigzag flight, what colors can it wear?

The dream that longing thrust upon me, please never wake
I resurrect time after time – for whose sake?

Looking at this worn-out world, lining up what was taken
Can I stand up?　Can I crawl up?
To that prism shining ahead
Even if my body disappears someday, an indelible glow
I wish to leave it to someone

Everything I touch, I always destroy
I crossed the critical point that day
For I have nothing
Nor any color
As if the reaching hand were a monster

This wish encounters both hope and despair
It brings back hate – for whose sake?

When the blue of that high sky everyone looks up to is the ideal
Even if I don’t reach　Even if I don’t reach
May this blood turn to infinite blue
Even if the hope is severed someday,
An indelible glow
I wish to leave it to you

For someone else, might I become someone?
Overcoming the fear of loss, now soar into the sky

For someone else, I can give it all

So broken, so afraid
Yet forever I will chase

Set free and burst like a soap bubble
Ceaseless anxiety and ideals for someone

Hey, smile and look
The color of hope in those days is
A rainbow reflected before the burst
