Exhausted from running, and having collapsed
I looked up at the night sky
And I saw uncountable pasts
In the distance, the moon waxes full

Can I live my life more strongly?
Will my dreams really come true?
Alone, I try to cry out
But there is no reply; I merely wander on

Wounded wings
Having spread them, I race off into the dark night
Though I am falling... though I am falling...
It is because I wish to see something real

Even though I may have no idea where I may be tomorrow
Until that time when I can soar higher than anyone,
   I will show you that I live believing in myself

                                             ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION

走り疲れて倒れたまま　見上げた夜空には
数えきれぬ過去を見てきた　月が遠く満ちている
もっと強く生きられる？　きっと夢は叶う？
独りで叫んでみても　答えもなく彷徨うだけ

傷だらけのツバサ　広げたまま闇夜を駆ける
倒れても　倒れても　確かなものが見たいから
明日の行方なんて　どうせ解らないなら
誰よりも高く翔る　その時まで自分を信じて生きてみせろ
