(Born To Be free since that day)
Born To Be free since that day
We’ve had these dreams

When we chose to go on this journey, we were still innocent
Smiling without reserve, that was you and I

Even though it’s become difficult to smile as innocently
As we used to back then

There are things we understand now
There are things we see now

So I remember once again
That promise I made with you
Not to give up easily

Born To Be free since that day
We’ve had these dreams

Failures have piled up at an astonishing rate, but
We’ve done things such that we have no regrets

If we meet with our past selves somewhere
Let’s tell them not to be anxious about the future

Someday, we will forgive things
Someday, we will smile together

Those nights when you hugged your knees
And cried without anyone knowing
You’ve overcome them, and your small back
Tells me so

There are things we understand now
There are things we see now

Someday, we will forgive things
Someday, we will smile together

So I remember once again
That promise I made with you
Not to give up easily

Born To Be free every day
Never forgetting our dreams
Born To Be free even if today
We’re still far from those dreams

In the end, you smiled
As you held it straight out to me
It was just too beautiful
That I couldn’t hold back the overflowing tears

That day, we surely touched love

We have been searching
Sometimes losing ourselves along the way
Should we finally manage to find it
No matter what kind of ending is in store

It’s really nothing but fate

Lalala- Lalala-

That sky which you’ve set out on a journey to
Sparkled with stars shining gently down on me

Stay with me, my beloved. As time passes and form changes
The future we haven’t yet seen
Hey, there’s still so much of it here, so

Stay with me, my beloved. As time passes and form changes
The future we haven’t yet seen
Is still here, so

Believe in me, my beloved. You live on within me
So from now on, forever into the future
I’ll never say goodbye

That day, we surely touched love

Just wish really really hard
And everything will begin
Because to believe
Is to wish

We’ve probably hated ourselves
And thought about becoming something else
But as we start to patch up our disguises
We realize what is important

If we cannot be ourselves
Then there’s no meaning

Just wish really really hard
And everything will begin
Because to believe
Is to wish

What are we waiting for?
To anticipate something
And to wish for something
Seems so similar, but somehow
Different

How do others see us? What do they say about us?
These things have become inconsequential
But first, we need a precious person
Whom we don’t need to hide our hearts from

If we cannot accept ourselves
Then there’s no meaning

“There’s only one truth”
Just who decided on that, and when?
The era with this kind of thinking
Has already passed

Don’t be afraid, once you find
The direction where light is shining from
Spread your wings
And soar high, high up

Just wish really really hard
And everything will begin
Because to believe
Is to wish

Just wish really really hard
And everything will begin
Because to believe
Is to wish

What are we waiting for?
To anticipate something
And to wish for something
Seems so similar, but somehow
Different

Come, spread your arms open
Clap with me as we walk
When it’s time to run out
Come here and we’ll start off together

I’ve never had any thoughts
Of wanting to walk in front of others
That said, it doesn’t mean that
I’ll follow behind someone either

When one of you
Shouts out “YES!”
I’ll stand in line
And shout out “YES!” too

Come, spread your arms open
Clap with me as we walk
When it’s time to run out
Come here and we’ll start off together
You guys are my pride

In the midst of these seemingly trivial days
The trick to happiness hides
That is surely created to be shared
Amongst everyone

It’s ok even if we can’t
Win complete victories
When that happens, come and
Lose to success with me

Come, spread your arms open
Clap with me as we walk
Your voices are sounding out
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not left alone anymore

Come, spread your arms open
Clap with me as we walk

Come, spread your arms open
Clap with me as we walk
When it’s time to run out
Come here and we’ll start off together
All of you are my pride

A long time ago, you said
“When you wake up, there’ll be
A wonderful present
Left by your pillow”
As you stroked my hair

As usual, your back appears
So small and unreliable
But we still smiled
Whenever we talked about fun things

Even so, why do humans
Make the same mistakes?
Just how many times must we do so
Before we learn to regret?

I remember
That night long ago
Which should have been buried

A long time ago, you said
“When you wake up, there’ll be
A wonderful present
Left by your pillow”
As you stroked my hair

I fell asleep holding on to
A heart filled with anticipation
Looking forward to the eventual
Coming of dawn

When I awoke, at my pillow
Was a huge teddy bear
Taking the place of you
Who should have been there

A long time ago, you said
“When you wake up, there’ll be
A wonderful present
Left by your pillow”
As you stroked my hair…

In order to achieve happiness
We embark on this journey
Look, a smile fits you so well

I recall those days which never fade
Such fleeting beautiful days

That season when we yearned for the dazzling sea
That season when the snow fell

Every time I turned around
You were there

In order to achieve happiness
We embark on this journey
Everyone is a traveller
Bringing along unhealable wounds
Look, a smile fits you so well

How many times had I lost my way?
Each time, a warm hand would

Reach out to me
It was always you

What would we think as we reach
The end of this long journey?
Everyone is a traveller
Who loses their way in the quest for love
Let’s go together, until we’ve had enough

What would we think as we reach
The end of this long journey?
Everyone is a traveller
Who loses their way in the quest for love
Let’s go together, until we’ve had enough

What do you mean by “I love you”?
What do you mean by “You’re the best”?
Hey, just how many times can you repeat
Those overly familiar gestures and mannerisms?

Being ignorant is truly frightening
Even if it means you can’t hate what you don’t know

“Women never know anything”
“They can only nod with tear-filled eyes”
(If you think that) It’s a big mistake
Because I hold you in my hand

What do you mean by “You’re all I’ve dreamt of”?
What do you mean by “I’ll give you happiness”?
Hey, all that is a representation
Of what they call self-complacency, right?

Just having a partner is not happiness
But if we have each other, then that’s ×××

Women always adopt a passive attitude
Showing no intentions and desires
(We can do so) Because we control the circumstances
Either way, I hold you in my hand

“Women never know anything”
“They can only nod with tear-filled eyes”
(If you think that) It’s a big mistake
Because I hold you in the palm of my hand

Women always adopt a passive attitude
Showing no intentions and desires
(We can do so) Because we control the circumstances
Either way, I hold you in my hand

hey!

A woman’s heart and that sky
Nobody can read them
