Kanji

 * 雲の影から 蒼い空が
 * 恐いくらい 果てなく見えてる
 * 汚れた僕を 吐き出せたら
 * 迷わないで そこに行けるのに


 * あまりにも長い時を 繋がれて生きてきた
 * 心の中を覗けと 告げる
 * 天使が 今


 * 自由という 永遠の孤独 抱いて
 * 空を翔けるように 生きていこう
 * 夢の果てにつづく 虹をわたり
 * いつか辿り着こう 見果てぬ場所へ


 * あの日心に 嘘をついた
 * 強がって 眠ったふりした
 * 今ではひとり 残されてる
 * 傷ついた 飛べない鳥だね


 * 抑えられない想いは 届かない場所にある
 * 土砂降りの夜が明けて 叫ぶ すべてが さぁ


 * 自由という 永遠の孤独 抱いて
 * 空を翔けるように 生きていこう
 * 夢の羽をつけて 翼ひろげ
 * 強く感じるままに 羽ばたきだそう 今


 * 自由という 永遠の孤独 抱いて
 * 空を翔けるように 生きていこう
 * 夢の果てにつづく 虹をわたり
 * いつか辿り着こう 見果てぬ場所へ


 * 自由という 永遠の孤独 抱いて
 * 空を翔けるように 生きていこう
 * 夢の羽をつけて 翼ひろげ
 * 強く感じるままに 羽ばたきだそう

English Translation

 * From the shadow of the clouds, I see the blue sky
 * and its frightening endless horizon
 * If someone as filthy as me was exiled,
 * I wouldn't hesitate to go there


 * I've been chained down here for too long
 * But, if you were to peek inside my mind,
 * an angel would herald for me now


 * I embrace the eternal loneliness known as freedom
 * and live as though I can soar towards the sky,
 * to reach the end of dreams over the rainbow,
 * until I reach that place concealed from me


 * That day I lied to my heart
 * by acting tough and pretending to be asleep
 * But now, that I have been alone,
 * I feel the pain like a bird who can't fly


 * My voracious desires can be found in a place beyond my reach
 * I let it all out in this night of pelting rain, come now


 * I embrace the eternal loneliness known as freedom
 * and live as though I can soar towards the sky
 * I sprout the wings of dreams and spread them proud,
 * feeling strong as though I can take flight, now


 * I embrace the eternal loneliness known as freedom
 * and live as though I can soar towards the sky,
 * to reach the end of dreams over the rainbow,
 * until I reach the place beyond my sight


 * I embrace the eternal loneliness known as freedom
 * and live as though I can soar towards the sky
 * I sprout the wings of dreams and spread them proud,
 * feeling strong as though I can take flight
