[English]

The dream I chased that day

Everything was dazzling and beautiful.

Even if these wings were to break

We will surely

fly again

no matter how many times,

no matter how many times.

To the dream I saw that day

Worries and prejudices are thick eggshells

Look, break the shell

To be reborn, look up to the sky

The habit of standing at attention

Everyone in the same space

What lies ahead when we leap out?

I wonder what's there?

They say it's dangerous and try to stop me

Turning my back to that voice

I reach out for the light

My shriveled wings embrace loneliness

I'm stuck. But I…

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh, let's go with our heads held high

More, let's crash into things more and more

Reborn! Reborn!

No matter how many thousands of times, try and try

Now, let's break it all down

To the high sky, I'm gonna fly away

Cutting through the darkness to the dazzling light

Break the "now," I'm gonna fly away

To beyond the limits, don't stop me now

I will just find my way

Really wanna be changed

The lingering sense of anxiety

The stop sign blocking my view

If I throw it, it's a 3-point shot score

I knew I did as I said

Tell me how to cut it out

Words like "impossible" or "no good"

Remove, remove, burn up, will to the sky

The wounded wings embrace loneliness

I'm stuck. But I…

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh, let's go with our heads held high

More, let's crash into things more and more

Reborn! Reborn!

No matter how many thousands of times, try and try

Now, let's break it all down

Step by step towards the ideal

Light pouring down from the cracks

My sight is gradually becoming clear

Believing in the curiosity that can't be hidden

If I take off, no doubt

Seeking moisture, into the unknown world

I'm changing now

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh, let's go with our heads held high

More, let's crash into things more and more

Reborn! Reborn!

No matter how many thousands of times, try and try

Now, let's break it all down

To the high sky, I'm gonna fly away

Cutting through the darkness to the dazzling light

Break the "now," I'm gonna fly away

To beyond the limits, don't stop me now

[Japanese]

あの日追いかけた夢は

全てが眩しく、美しかった。

もしこの翼が折れたとしても

僕達はきっと

また羽ばたく

何度でも、

何度でも。

あの日見た夢へ

悩みや偏見は Thick eggshell

ほら殻を破って

生まれ変わる為 Look up to the sky

前ならえの習慣

他人(みんな)が同じ空間

飛び出した先に

何があるのかな?

危ないって引き止める

その声に背を向けて

光に手を伸ばす

縮こまった翼は孤独を抱いて

I'm stuck. But I…

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh 堂々胸張っていこう

More ドンドンぶつかっていこうぜ

Reborn! Reborn!

何万回だってTry and try

さぁドンドンと Yea Break it all down

高い空へ I'm gonna fly away

闇を切り裂いて 眩しい光へ

“今”を 壊せ I'm gonna fly away

限界の先へ Don't stop me now

I will just find my way

Really wanna be changed

残された不安感

目の前遮った Stop sign

投げたら 3points shot Score

I knew I did 言った通り

Tell me how to cut it out

「ダメ」や「無理」なんて言葉は

Remove Remove Burn up 意志 空まで

傷ついた 翼は 孤独を抱いて

I'm stuck. But I…

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh 堂々胸張っていこう

More ドンドンぶつかっていこうぜ

Reborn! Reborn!

何万回だって Try and try

さぁドンドンと Yea Break it all down

一歩一歩 理想に向かって

裂け目から降り注ぐ Light

だんだん見えてくる My sight

隠せない好奇心を信じて

飛び立てば No doubt

潤いを 求めて 未知の世界へと

I'm changing now

Reborn! Reborn!

Oh 堂々胸張っていこう

More ドンドンぶつかっていこうぜ

Reborn! Reborn!

何万回だってTry and try

さぁドンドンと Yea Break it all down

高い空へ I'm gonna fly away

闇を切り裂いて 眩しい光へ

“今”を 壊せ I'm gonna fly away

限界の先へ Don't stop me now
