The ring of a beginning, with the sound of a key,
As I grow up going along with the flow.

These days spent running in high spirits,
Will someday grow farther away;
I hope we can take the answer we found here,
And find somewhere to pass it on.

We can become a light that shines upon,
The crowds of people wandering aimlessly;
Up in the swaying sky: from the sun’s rise to the night’s first star.
If I look behind, I can see familiar scenery,
While you’re by my side, looking ever onward.
Beyond this place wrapped in a green belt,
We seek a tomorrow that continues onward.

In the bookshelves lining our library,
We leave the unknown behind as we fly on.

Returning home along that same road,
The things we each realize are different;
If we can take those feelings that sometimes differ,
Ahh… and accept them with a smile…

We were simply being protected there…
Just like the day birds begin their migration,
What lies beyond this expansive green will surely open wide for us!

With our expanding silhouettes in constant flux,
Light will shine through, clearing our hearts,
As we head toward a sun peaking through mist on high.
Those after-school voices we took for granted,
Can still be heard next to us.
As the wind blows fiercely through this noisy city,
The courage to move on is within my heart.

始まりのベル　鍵をかける音
流れゆく間に大人になる

走り　はしゃぎ　過ごす日々が
遠ざかるときがくる
ここで出した答えを
ああ　どこかで語り継げたら

迷いながら歩く人波を
照らし出す光になれるよ
揺らぐ空に昇る朝日から一番星まで
振り返れば懐かしい景色
隣には前を向く君が
包まれてたグリーンベルトの先
続く明日を目指してる

図書館の中　並ぶ本棚に
未知を残して飛び立ってゆく

同じ道を帰る僕ら
知ったことは違って
時にずれる気持ちを
ああ　笑顔で認め合えたら

ただそこで守られていた
鳥たちが渡りだす日のように
青一面のむこう広がる　きっと

変わりながら伸びる影法師
陽が射して心も晴れるよ
高い空にかかる霞から覗く太陽へ
ありふれてた放課後の声が
隣から今も聴こえてる
さざめく街　吹きすさぶ風に
向かう勇気はこの胸に
