I realized I wasn’t very good at walking… I always run into things — now I’m all scratched up.
It’s still unclear where I should go… upon this round, uneven globe.
I was used to always being scolded, so I kept my head down and tensed up.
As a trumpet sounded off in the distance, I listened— still tensed up.
At a loss, I paused. In the time I spent crying, a puddle formed.
Countless sparkles were reflected there… and whispered to me in a familiar voice.
Each time my heart gave birth to a precious jewel, they floated up high, and I gave them each a name:
This starry sky that will always shine, even if forgotten… was created by you.
My body holds me up with all its might… it accompanies me wherever I may go.
Even if it’s not strong, it wishes to smile — a courageous hand wiped away my tears.
Everyone runs, hurrying onward: they’re all cheering that the circus is coming!
I kind of want to run too, even though I don’t have a ticket.
I thought I’d surely be scolded, just for wishing for something…
All I do is run into things — now I’m all scratched up… but I ran across this globe anyway.
I have a habit of searching for meaning by asking, “What could I have wished for to end up doing that?”
I’d never bother rephrasing it so someone else could understand!
This will be such a wonderful day! I chose this future, despite my uncertainty.
I’ll aim for the place you wish to go! The sun exists for this day alone.
My body is responding earnestly — it’s used to scrapes and scratches by now.
Is it okay if I’m happy with just that? I wish this day could go on forever!
Voices called to one another… all strangers… a sea of people.
The whole area was flooded with expectation — even I started to run off in a hurry!
It’s not as if something had changed… it’s not as if I’d realized anything…
There’s no seat waiting for me at the goal, but even so, I ran off in a hurry—
So I wouldn’t leave my feelings all alone!
This will be such a wonderful day! I chose this future, even though I was never chosen.
The footsteps that connected my path here all sing in unison from behind.
Each time my heart gave birth to a precious jewel, they floated up high, and I gave them each a name;
Even if I’m not strong, it’s all so fascinating: the first day I ever shared a smile with my tears.
