Lyrics

Japanese

この宇宙を仰いだ
星が　生まれ変わってく……
ざわめき出す予感が　身体中を　駆け巡ってく！
「何かやらなきゃ」　騒ぐ想い
「何が出来る？」と　揺れる想い
抱えながら立ち止まる事　もう出来ないと感じている

アノ人を羨んでは　思い焦がれてた
『憧れ』じゃ　永遠に　届かない

そう今は　この地球に生きて　ココに居るよ
平凡な日々に　焦り出している
時間は過ぎてく
心、満たせない！


そう今は　この地球に生きて
ココに居るよ
翼を広げて　遠い惑星まで
辿り着きたい
夢は終われない！

いつか自分を誇れる事が出来たら
その時には　溢れる想いを
誰より　君だけに
きっと伝えたい……

Long Version

Japanese

この宇宙を仰いだ 星が　生まれ変わってく…… ざわめき出す予感が　身体中を　駆け巡ってく！ 「何かやらなきゃ」　騒ぐ想い 「何が出来る？」と　揺れる想い 抱えながら立ち止まる事　もう出来ないと感じている アノヒトを羨んでは　思い焦がれてた 『憧れ』じゃ　永遠に　届かない そう今は　この地球に生きて　ココに居るよ 平凡な日々に　焦り出している 時間は過ぎてく 心、満たせない！ 一歩踏み出したら　もう戻れない気がして 大切なモノ　幾つ失うのかと　考えたりして 一体　何度　引き返した？ 一体　何度　見ないフリした？ そんな選択　繰り返す度 今を愛せなくなっていた アノヒトの頭上に光る　星に誓った 誰にだって　始まりの　瞬間がある そう今は　この地球に生きて　ココに居るよ 忘れられなくて　叫ぶくらいなら 眠る力を　強く信じたい そう今は　この地球に生きて　ココに居るよ 翼を広げて　遠い惑星まで 辿り着きたい 夢は終われない！ いつか自分を誇れる事が出来たら その時には　溢れる想いを 誰より　君だけに　きっと伝えたい……
