ano koro no chiisana boku ga miageru sora ha hontou ni hirokatta
suki na hito wo kono te de mamoreru to omotteita honki de
Back when I was little, I looked up at the sky, the sky was so vast
I truly thought that I could protect, my loved ones with these hands, seriously

doushite se ga nobinai sore ga kuyashikatta
Why am I not getting taller? I asked myself, it was so hard to bear

wagamama wo mada kawaii to kanchigai shiteitan da zutto
akirameru koto nante omoi ukaba nakatta tada mae wo muiteta
demo...
I realized I was selfish all the way
I faced the thoughts of giving up
But...

dekinai koto bakari de hayaku jiyuu ni naritakute
There are so many things I can't do, I want to become free quickly

ikura te wo nobashitatte todoku hazu no nai ookina ookina sora
demo boku ha nani mo utagau koto mo naku kirei na mirai wo shinjiteta
kuyashii koto ga aru to korae kire nakatta ookina ookina namida
demo ano toki no boku no mei ha naniyori kagayaiteta to omou
No matter how many times I stretch my hand, there was no chance that I would make it across that wide, wide sky
But I never doubted anything, I believed in a beautiful future, when the hard times came up
I couldn't fight back against, the big, big tears
Although, I think my eyes were glittering more than anything, back then

arekara zuibun se mo nobite yononaka no koto sukoshi wakatta
isshoukenmei ga kakko warukute sameta FURI shite aruiteita yo
demo...
From then I grew quite a bit, I understood more of the times
Doing my best may be uncool, I walked around acting cold
But...

chuutohanpa na boku ni ha nani hitotsu deki nakatta
I gave up halfway and couldn't do anything
From when did I forget about believing in a glittering tomorrow to protect myself, I hurt many important things
Spring is far, towards the sky overhead I want to know what's there
"When I become an adult, I must go", I promised.

itsukara ka boku ha kirameku ashita wo shijiteta koto sae wasurete
jibun wo mamoru tame ni takusan no taisetsu na mono wo kizutsuketeta
haruka tooku maue no sora no mukou ni nani ga aru ka shiritakute
"otona ni nattara kanarazu ikun dayo."tte yakusoku shitan da
No matter how many times I stretch my hand there was no chance that I would make it across that wide, wide sky
But I never doubted anything I believed in a beautiful future
When the hard times came up I couldn't fight back against the big, big tears
Although, I think my eyes were glittering more than anything, back then

ikura te wo nobashitatte todoku hazu no nai ookina ookina sora
