== Lyrics ==
=== Game Size ===
<pre>As you look back upon the past you left behind
And all the things you might do over
We can't take back the past, but we can move ahead
If we can find the strength to hold onto

If you could go back, back in time
If you could go back, would you really change your mind
Or is this just a chance to discover
Find your faith in the wings of another, find your way

※ Isn't it time for a change in the way that you feel inside?
The courage to Take a Step Forward
Spreading your wings after falling, no need for concern
Isn't it just another lesson learned?

Isn't it time for a change in the way that you feel inside?
The courage to Take a Step Forward
Spreading your wings after falling, no need for concern

※ Repeat</pre>

=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>As you look back upon the past you left behind
And all the things you might do over
We can't take back the past, but we can move ahead
If we can find the strength to hold onto

If you could go back, back in time
If you could go back, would you really change your mind
Or is this just a chance to discover
Find your faith in the wings of another, find your way

※ Isn't it time for a change in the way that you feel inside?
The courage to Take a Step Forward
Spreading your wings after falling, no need for concern
Isn't it just another lesson learned?

Sometimes it's hard to reach for help when nothing's clear
And hope is lost inside your anger
Let go of hate and fear and reach inside
For something more that occurs deep within you

If you could go back, back in time
If you could go back, would you really change your mind
Or is this just a chance to discover
Find your faith in the wings of another, find your way

※ Repeat

Isn't it time for a change in the way that you feel inside?
The courage to Take a Step Forward
Spreading your wings after falling, no need for concern

※ Repeat</pre>}}
