from Upstream Children single + Tales of Almanac album.

The beginning’s sky in this blue, tall, sunny morning
What’s wrong? Why do you have that faraway look in your eyes
As if we stood apart from everyone else
We’re best at delusions, even though everyone already knows that
From the top of the fence, we dive into the flock of beasts
Because fear is something we lack
We can do anything, the wind at our backs
Is not a misunderstanding
Taller than the roofs, I envy the budding greenery
I screamed because I’m truly enjoying myself
The things I see seem so close, yet also out of reach
Crying in pain, we choose the road of thorns
Because we don’t know how best to live
Maybe, just because we’ll always be heroes
Living in an inflated dream
That is defenseless, reckless hope
The speeding world is a yellow river flowing
Because we’re so insignificant, a breeze will blow us away
We’ve soared so far, aiming for the faraway above
Becoming dragons climbing to the future
Buried in the gaps of those weakling days
Don’t lose sight of what’s precious
We can do anything, if that’s what you feel too
The answer is still before us
I peeked, it’s just right ahead
When we become adults someday
Will we remember this blue sky?
