When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet

Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

I’m in my usual park I can see the night scenery On the slide That’s been my special seat for years

Whenever I’m worried about something, I come here Just like then, I’m on my way to my dreams But unable to fulfil them “Maybe this is the end of the line”

There are days when I say weak things like that But every time, I remember That starry sky where I looked for a shooting star The wish I made when I was little

Hasn’t changed even now When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light

Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

Hiding out in the schoolyard at night with my mates We climbed the chain-link fence The field seemed to have a different face than during the day We headed for our sea called the pool We didn’t have swimming trunks, so we were all stark naked Someone jumped in with a strange yell The splash echoed through the night “After him!” Everyone else piled in We floated gently, looking up at the sky Looked at the stars in front of us, and talked about heaps of dreams And looked for that shooting star

When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

Looking up at the sky, there are countless stars The same number now that there was years ago My dreams are endless and crazy Incredibly bright, like that star

Hey! If you keep hanging your head like that You won’t even be able to see the things you can see Look up at the sky, keep your head up!! Hey! “What do you think of the sky you see?” Someday, like that shining star… I wanna shine

When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

空を見上げれば 星達がほら、瞬いてる この地球の 人達みたいに 様々な 光を放って その中で僕も ひときわ輝いていたいんだ 目を閉じて 心に誓う 流れ星に夢をたくして

ここは いつもの公園 夜景が見える 滑り台の上 昔から僕の 特等席 悩みがあれば ここに来るんです あの頃のまま 夢の途中で 未だ叶えられずにいるんです もしかして ここが もう終点 なんて弱音を 吐いてしまいそうな日もある でも、そのたんびに思い出す 流れ星を探した あの星空 小さな頃の 願い事は今 昔も変わらないまま

空を見上げれば 星達がほら、瞬いてる この地球の 人達みたいに 様々な 光を放って その中で僕も ひときわ輝いていたいんだ 目を閉じて 心に誓う 流れ星に夢をたくして

夜の校舎 仲間と忍び込み 声を潜め 金網よじ登り 昼間と違う顔のグラウンドを背に 目指した場所は“プール"という名の海 水着なんてもんは無いから みんな素っ裸 誰かが奇声を発して 飛び込んだ 夜のとばりに響く水しぶき あとに続けとばかりに皆、一斉に入って 空見上げプカプカ 浮かんだ 目の前にある星を眺め 多くの夢 語り合って 探したね あの流れ星

空を見上げれば 星達がほら、瞬いてる この地球の 人達みたいに 様々な 光を放って その中で僕も ひときわ輝いていたいんだ 目を閉じて 心に誓う 流れ星に夢をたくして

見上げた空に無数の星 今も昔も変わらないし 夢は果てしなく狂おしくて あの星のように凄く眩しい

Hey!そんなに俯いてばかりいちゃ 見えるモノも見えなくなるから 空見上げて Keep You Head Up !! Hey!“見上げた空に今、何を思う?" いつか煌めく あの星のように、、、 I Wanna Shine☆

空を見上げれば 星達がほら、瞬いてる この地球の 人達みたいに 様々な 光を放って その中で僕も ひときわ輝いていたいんだ 目を閉じて 心に誓う 流れ星に夢をたくして
