1.When I look up, above me
2.Clouds are drifting by
3.Moving freely, changing shape, those clouds4.
5.I realized that I was more confused and troubled
6.About finding myself than I thought
7.I kept looking down at my feet8.
9.Without overthinking it
10.It’s okay to enjoy it
11.The sound of the drum I struck that day
12.Taught me that13.
14.I left my doubts
15.In the pocket of last year’s jacket
16.From today, a new “me” begins again
17.My heart is still unstable
18.Swaying like a curtain
19.But I can feel
20.The pleasant breeze blowing through21.
22.Experience teaches us
23.To avoid failure
24.And to easily find the answers
25.Yet somewhere, surely,
26.Something bold and clumsy, but precious, has been chipped away27.
28.“Pick up the color you like
29.And paint as you wish,”
30.I’ll say that and hand over the drawing paper
31.To the child who’s not good at drawing
32.Just like that…33.
34.The tangled shoelace
35.I gave up trying to untie it
36.When I forgot about it and played,
37.It unknowingly came undone
38.Things don’t always go as planned
39.Even in a series of unexpected events
40.I understand that
41.So I’ll just enjoy it42.
43.Everyone has
44.A cloudy, murky scene in their heart45.
46.There are countless ways
47.To stay free
48.The sound of the six strings I played last night
49.Taught me that50.
51.I’ll leave my sadness
52.In the pocket of yesterday’s shirt
53.From today, a new “you” begins again
54.My heart will always be unstable
55.Swaying like a curtain
56.But I can feel
57.The pleasant breeze blowing through
58.And I just want to enjoy this moment
