Japanese

見えない空描いてた
机の上はみだして
落書きの星はいつもキラキラ光ってた

小さなテノヒラには
欲張りな夢たち
あばれて飛び出して近道探してるの

飛びだせ!僕の 赤いロケット
向かい風に逆らって戦う
過去を突き抜け　虹の窓くぐって
追いこせ!くじら雲を探して
遠い空を見つめて
つないだ夢の続きを空に放ちたくて

常識な日常に
思い切りDIVEして
KI･SE･KIを起こすため
誰も知らない場所目指して!!

飛び出せ!高く×6
輝く 聴かせて 星が奏でる光のメロディー
リアルと夢の向こう側まで
『僕の赤いロケット』
届けて この先はまだ見えないままだけど
そう信じてる走っていく始まるあの空へ･･･

Long Version

Japanese

見えない空描いてた
机の上はみだして
落書きの星はいつもキラキラ光ってた

小さなテノヒラには
欲張りな夢たち
あばれて飛び出して近道探してるの

飛びだせ!僕の赤いロケット
向かい風に逆らって戦う
過去を突き抜け 虹の窓くぐって
追いこせ!くじら雲を探して
遠い空を見つめて
つないだ夢の続きを空に放ちたくて

地図はドコにもなかった
僕の目はココにあるよ
行きたい場所行けばいい 間違いなんてない!

机にはみ出してた
不器用な世界は
高価なダイヤより輝き止まらなくて

飛び出せ!僕の赤いロケット
まだ未完成だけど･･･飛べるの?
雲を突き抜け何が見えてくるの?
このまま 明日に背中向けて
遠い空ばかり見て
『届かない』つぶやきながら手を伸ばし続けて!

常識な日常に
思い切りDIVEして
KI･SE･KIを起こすため
誰も知らない場所目指して!!

飛び出せ!高く×6
輝く 聴かせて星が奏でる光のメロディー
リアルと夢の向こう側まで
『僕の赤いロケット』
届けて この先はまだ見えないままだけど
そう信じてる走っていく始まるあの空へ･･･

Painting the sky
The image within
Too big a sky compared to when with you
But the star too
Was shining so bright
Oh, my dreaming is sparking tonight

In this tiny part, my mind
Surged and feeling now precious and free
Now that we're through, can search other ways
Can crawl out together of disarray

Shoot up to the sky
On my red rocket
Jump to the sky
Go straight and heaven we'll enter with time
Find farther in past is what you have to live for
Beyond the rainbow

Go on now and look for the cloud
In the shape of our way
Run 'till you see the sight of beyond
Please know yourself
You dream, we go
Oh, when you jump high
All your words already gone

There was the mountain
We find in one night
But now I'm not looking where I'll wanna be
Some sign, think it's gonna lead out our way
No one's gonna tell me it's wrong

Some think it wasn't such a basic clue
Stunning, charming, what's on their inside?
Brighter than them we'll spark at you
Precious diamond in the sky

Shoot up to the sky
On my red rocket
Rise to the sky
See now so perfect we're already flying
Go straight ahead
Through the hazy cloud we are finding tomorrow

Better keep on chasing that cloud
Goes to where, don't know
Just look and trust the distant sky
I'm gonna fly
Straight to myself
Oughta try, reach out with all of my mind

Why not play to the groove in your heart?
Diving through the unordinary day
Make it heart though I may walk away
Shoot for the goal, no one's being
That's your power, your now

You can take me higher
And fly a little bit
Higher
And rise and fall
Shine on, though
Shine on, though
Into the sky
Blazing, the star that's so bright
Let me heal the memory daydream

Do you know that reality takes me over the dream
My loves and red rocket take me afar
Oh, take me there
I saw us together
To what will calming my days again

But yes, we're gonna make it
Just gotta believe
A new sky is rising when I call
