[English]

Blue sky, cloud covers

Wipe away the lingering shadows

In the deep fog, just one step at a time

One time, two times, keep repeating

Again and again, yes, no matter how many times

Almost forgetting the reasons now

Again and again, come on, no matter how many times

Look up to the sunlight ahead

Flowing through the gaps, reach out your hand

Beyond the door I’ve broken open, to the unseen place

Jump in

Make the headwind your ally

Live life as you feel it

Today, yesterday, tomorrow

Lift up your best self

Blue sky, cloud covers

Partly clearing up

Even if it’s a little different from the blue I imagined

Still, keep repeating

Again and again, yes, no matter how many times

Reasons can come later, it’s okay

Again and again, come on, no matter how many times

Light lines up across the vast sky

Reach out even more toward the center

Even if blinded by a too-bright future

Jump in

Put on the tailwind's breeze

Live freely, follow your heart

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

A world of wonder unfolds

Look up to the sunlight ahead

Flowing through the gaps, reach out your hand

Beyond the door I’ve broken open, to the unseen place

Jump in

Make the headwind your ally

[Japanese]

Blue sky　覆う雲

纏わりつく影払って

深い霧の中　只ひたすら　一歩づつ

One time, two time　繰り返せ

何度も　そう何度でも

理由なんて　もう忘れる程

何度も　さぁ何度でも

見上げた先に陽の光

溢（こぼ）れていく隙間手を伸ばせ

抉じ開けた向こう側のまだ見ぬ場所へ

飛び込め

向かい風を味方につけて

感じるままに生きて行け

明日も今も昨日も

最高の自分掲げて

Blue sky　覆う雲

少しづつ晴れていく

思い描いてた青とは少し違っていても

それでも　繰り返せ

何度も　そう何度でも

理由なんて　後付けでいいさ

何度も　さぁ何度でも

大空に光が連なる

その真ん中に　もっと手を伸ばせ

眩しすぎる未来に目が眩んでも

飛び込め

追い風に袖を通して

心のままに生きて行け

昨日も今も明日も

最高の世界広がれ

見上げた先に陽の光

溢（あふ）れていく隙間手を伸ばせ

抉じ開けた向こう側のまだ見ぬ場所へ

飛び込め

向かい風を味方につけて
