1.During an elementary school outdoor lesson, I peeked through a telescope
2.I learned the names of several constellations along with their myths
3.Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the starry sky changes as the seasons cycle
4.But I heard there’s a navel of the universe that never moves
5.That’s why sailors always used it as their landmark
6.They steered their ships in the direction they needed to go
7.Everyone has a map in their mind
8.To escape the darkness of youth9.
10.For trivial reasons, we argued and fought
11.Even if we lost sight of how much we love each other…12.
13.The sure Pole Star for you and me
14.It’s been shining unchanged since that day
15.When we seem to lose our way
16.It guided us from beyond the night sky
17.Wherever we are, there’s the Pole Star
18.We rely on it
19.To check
20.Our hearts’ current positions21.
22.People live cautiously, groping their way
23.Even so, we sometimes trip over something and fall
24.If we walked more skillfully, we wouldn’t get hurt
25.But we keep walking based on intuition, going round and round in circles
26.Time passes as a matter of course, and the scenery changes
27.On the way to becoming adults, we’ll question our path
28.At that time, instead of consulting someone
29.If we look up at the starry sky, we’ll find the answer30.
31.When I stop or you crouch down
32.Love isn’t flat, it’s a thorny path33.
34.Tell me, the Pole Star above
35.It’s enough if you just twinkle in the dark
36.Even when I’m about to give up
37.A small light becomes a support
38.On sad nights, the Pole Star of tears
39.Even if I made the wrong choice, I can start over
40.I don’t want to take shortcuts
41.I want to leave my footprints42.
43.Before I knew it, I’d come far
44.It’s a new world I’ve never seen
45.Among the stars in the sky
46.There’s one light that never wavers
47.That light is called hope48.
49.The sure Pole Star for you and me
50.It’s been shining unchanged since that day
51.When we seem to lose our way
52.It guided us from beyond the night sky
53.Wherever we are, there’s the Pole Star
54.We rely on it
55.To check
56.Our hearts’ current positions57.
58.Where should we head from here?
