[English]

Every day I wake up, I fumble to turn off the alarm clock

Sometimes I wonder, what’s ahead?

On days like that, don’t ever look down

Let’s discover, overflowing with kindness

A loop of smiles

Smiles call out to more smiles

Filling this world with their glow

Always keep them shining

Because that’s what makes you shine

It’s sure to bring happiness your way

Don’t just stare at the ground all day

Happiness isn’t just gonna fall into your lap

From sluggish Mondays to dazzling Fridays with sparkling eyes

Today’s the first step for you

Plant seeds in the passing days

Before you know it, they bloom somewhere close by

Unnamed, yet flowers that make you smile without thinking

Thank you—that words like that are added

And surely, it all starts with you

A loop of smiles

No matter how small it is

Every time I find something wonderful

If I can just honestly rejoice

I’ll meet smiles again

Open the door, let’s jump out now

Dreams, hopes, future... loneliness

Things that aren’t in front of me right now

Goodbye, thank you

Parting ways today to meet again someday

Holding hands

Turn wounds and tears into smiles, then tomorrow will come again

The kindness I received

Is a form of love meant to be passed on to someone else

If right now there’s something missing from you

And you’re troubled, try trusting a little

A loop of smiles

[Japanese]

目覚まし時計、手さぐりで止める毎日に

時々思う、この先なにがあるのかな？

そんな日は決して下を向かないで

見つけ出そう、優しさあふれ出す

笑顔のループ

笑顔が笑顔を呼び

この世界を埋め尽くすように

いつでも絶やさないで

それが君を輝かせるから

しあわせを必ず連れてくる

地面ばっか向いてないで

幸せなんて落ちてないぜ

足取りが重くなるMondayから華やぎに目が眩むFriday

今日が君にとってファーストステップ

すれ違う日々に種を蒔いて

気づけばいつも身近などこかに咲いていて、

名もないけれど、思わず嬉しくなる花

ありがとう、そんな言葉が添えられ

そしてきっとあなたから始まる

笑顔のループ

どんなに小さくても

素敵なこと、見つける度に

素直に喜べたら

また笑顔にめぐり逢えるから

ドアを開け、いますぐ飛び出そう

夢、希望、未来...孤独

全て目の前にはないもの

さよなら、ありがとう

別れてはまた出会う為の今日

手を繋いだ

傷や涙 笑顔に変えたらまた明日

もらった優しさ

誰かに渡す為の愛の形さ

もしいまの君になにか足りなくて

悩んでたら信じてみることさ

笑顔のループ
