Lyrics:
Even if you peek into the mirror You won’t find a single trace of a feather
But I can hear the rushing calls of birds, longing for the sky
I’ve decided I’m going to break out of this iron-barred city Now
I can only empathize with the feelings behind those words asking me to stay Thank you
The things I’ve lost The things I’ve given up on Certainly, both seem to shine bright
I’ve weighed the options I chose one myself And thrown away the right to regret my decision
Will my wings work? Can I really fly?
I looked straight into the sky without saying “yes” or “no”
The name of the bird is “Laughter” And it’s broken its cage
It’s not about “yes” or “no” I just want to shout, “I want to fly!” with a joyful voice
I’d spent life curled up until yesterday And now this Laughter has overcome it And continues to sing today
A song that was made to tell myself I’ve triumphed
The strength of the wind questions what it means to be truly right
There are also times when I go off-course and get lost in the routes of other birds
Calling out loudly within the whirl of the wind Looking for a speck of light See
Even if it was all just a sham What is truly right for me
I’ll try to decide it for myself I’ll treasure it
Not a noble person Nor a successful one I want to be someone who can be proud of the present
Holding close that hope Writing out that map of the future I just want to live life without letting go
Can you really see what’s real? Are you certain of it?
Without being able to say yes or no, the past that was overflowing with answers
Rode on the back of Laughter Who has exceeded expectations
It’s not about the goal or the distance traveled It’s about the ever-echoing voice
That was a searchlight in loneliest nights It was that light That I’ve finally noticed now
Caught in an unprecedented storm That would render an umbrella meaningless Still, there’s a fire in my chest
Stronger than the sounds of the sea Faster than lightning I’ll flap my wings and aim straight ahead
Will my wings work? Can I really fly?
I looked straight into the sky without saying “yes” or “no”
The name of the bird is “Laughter” And it’s broken its cage
It’s not about “yes” or “no” I just want to shout, “I want to fly!” with a joyful voice
I’d spent life curled up until yesterday And now this Laughter has overcome it And continues to sing today
A song that was made to tell myself I’ve triumphed
