[English]

I know the reason why I couldn't sleep last night

That annoying alarm announcing today, it's such a bother, right?

Like a cloudy sky, I ruffle my bedhead and scratch at it

Gotta slap my face in the mirror, then wash away the tiredness

Hey, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, it's all part of it

Be proud of yourself for working hard yesterday

Scrapes from falling turn into scabs and start to heal

Give water to your heart, make it blossom, sometimes laugh and cry

Embrace all your worries and hopes together

Even on days when things don't go well, they're still part of you, and you want to love yourself, right?

Even if tears threaten to fall and you feel like stopping, it's okay not to hate yourself

There's no single answer; it's not just one. I want to believe it's right in the center of my heart

Even a tiny bud can bloom into a beautiful flower, so it’s okay to be clumsy—just be yourself

There are days when the stacking days make you want to give up

But I lack that courage, so I just imagine it and straighten my collar

Reply with a polite smile to convenient words

Pick up only the important feelings and take a deep breath

Because I want to love myself the most

Towards the light that shines ahead, carrying hope, it will clear up after the clouds

Dreaming, the sunflowers grow tall into the sky

Taking one step forward and then worrying again—that's a sign you're expecting more from yourself, isn't it?

There are days when growing pains keep you awake, but it’s not a bad thing

Give water to your heart, make it blossom, sometimes laugh and cry

I want to hold all your worries and hopes tightly

Even on days that don’t go well, they’re part of you, and you want to love yourself, right?

Even if tears threaten to fall and you feel like stopping, it’s okay not to hate yourself

There’s no one answer; what you find for yourself is probably the right answer

Even a tiny bud is a precious treasure. No need to stretch yourself—just be yourself

Open the dazzling door and start today

[Japanese]

眠れなかった夜の理由 分かってる

今日を告げるアラーム 煩くて嫌だよね

曇り空の様な ねぐせごと 掻きむしる

鏡越しの顔 叩いては 洗い流して

失敗もたまにはそりゃあるけど

頑張った昨日を褒めてあげて

転んだ傷は カサブタになり 癒されていく

ココロに水をあげて 花咲かそう 時に笑い泣いたり

不安も期待もまるっと全部 抱き合わせる

うまくいかない日も ひっくるめて自分でしょう 愛してたいよな

涙流れそうで立ち止まりそうでも 嫌いにならなくていいよ

解答(こたえ)はない 一つじゃない 胸のど真ん中にあるんだって信じたい

小さなツボミでも 咲く花は綺麗でしょう 不器用でもいい そのままで

積み重なる日々 投げ出したい時もある

でもそんな勇気もないな 想像だけして 襟を直す

都合のいい言葉は愛想笑いして

大切な想いだけ拾って深呼吸

自分のことは 自分が一番 愛したいから

ヒカリが照らす先へ 希望のせて 曇りのち晴れるから

夢見て 空に高く伸びる 向日葵たち

一つ進んでは また一つ悩むのは 自分に期待してる証でしょう?

成長痛で眠れない日もある でも悪くはないよな

ココロに水をあげて 花咲かそう 時に笑い泣いたり

不安も期待もまるっと全部 抱きしめたい

うまくいかない日も ひっくるめて自分でしょう 愛してたいよな

涙流れそうで立ち止まりそうでも 嫌いにならなくていいよ

解答(こたえ)はない 自分で見つけ出したものがきっと 正解(こたえ)だろ

小さなツボミでも 大切な宝物だ 背伸びしなくていい そのままで

眩し過ぎるドアを開けて 今日を始めよう
