SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.I tried to take flight, but discovered I had no wings,
2.On one summer day;
3.Sacrificing an old dream of mine,
4.It was also that day that I realized I was standing on the ground.5.
6.You’ll never be able to reach those lights,
7.Not the moon, nor those stars.
8.It’s only because they’re in a place we can’t reach,
9.That we’re so aware of our own location.10.
11.If you’re unable to fly, just walk there,
12.And if you meet with despair, join hands with me.
13.Journey beyond nights filled with sadness, and when you want to smile,
14.I’ll sing for you, lu la la…15.

16.While getting lost, while making mistakes,
17.We keep on walking; because that’s the proper thing to do.
18.The ground that you stand upon, you see,
19.Has paths in all 360 degrees around you,20.
21.Stage of the ground.22.
23.When you’ve come to a stop at the outer reaches of solitude,
24.Just remove the lid from your flask;
25.All your meetings and partings will begin to overlap
26.And you’ll see yourself reflected there.27.
28.One of those people you’re always at odds with starts to fall away,
29.And as you count the tears you’ve shed,
30.You make a wish, saying, “I want to become kinder”,
31.But you’re already kinder,
32.Than anyone else, lu la la…33.
34.Entrusted to your two feet,
35.Are the fragments of any number of prayers,
36.So scream out loud with them, in a strained voice,
37.Saying you’ve come this far; puff out your chest with pride,38.
39.Stage of the ground.40.
41.If you collect all the pebbles you’ve tripped over as you continue on,
42.You’re eyes will surely start to shine again.43.
44.There are hundreds of millions of galaxies spanning the universe; at the center of it all is you, ever so small.45.
46.The dream that took the fall to protect you,
47.Is watching from the cheering section in the evening sky.
48.As someone who’s able to seek strength, even if you’re weak,
49.I’ll sing for your sake, lu la la…50.
51.That moon and those stars,
52.Are all there to light your stage,
53.So scream out loud, in a strained voice,
54.That you’re right there.55.
56.On days you’re lost, on days you make mistakes,
57.That light has been shining upon you.
58.The ground that you stand upon, you see,
59.Is there for you always, 365 days a year,60.
61.Stage of the ground
