Sō sa kanashimi wo yasashisani
Jibunrashisa o chikara ni
Mayoinagara demo ī aruki dashite

Dareka no kitai ni zutto kotae
Home rareru no ga sukina nodesu ka?
Naritai jibun o surikaete mo
Egao wa itsu demo sutekidesu ka?

Hajimari dake yumemite okiru
sono-sakinara itsuka jibun no ude de

Sōda daijinamono wa itsumo
Katachi no nai mono dake
Te ni irete mo naku shite mo
Kidzukanu mama

Sō sa kanashimi wo yasashisani
Jibunrashisa o chikara ni
Mayoinagara demo ī aruki dashite
Mōikkai

Kanji (Full Version)[]

そうさ悲しみをやさしさに
自分らしさを力に
迷いながらでもいい歩き出して
もう一回もう一回

誰かの期待にずっと応え
誉められるのが好きなのですか
なりたい自分を摺り替えても
笑顔はいつでも素敵ですか

始まりだけ夢見て起きる
その先ならいつか自分の腕で

そうだ大事な物はいつも
形のないものだけ
手に入れてもなくしても
気付かぬまま

そうさ悲しみをやさしさに
自分らしさを力に
迷いながらでもいい歩き出して
もう一回もう一回

ずるい大人は出逢うたび
頭ごなしな説教だけ
自分を素直に出せなくなって
傷つけながらすぐに尖って

新しい風味方につけて
探していいんだいつか青い鳥を

そうだ大事な物はいつも
形のないものだけ
手に入れてもなくしても
気付かぬまま

そうさ悲しみをやさしさに
自分らしさを力に
迷いながらでもいい歩き出して

涙の後はなぜか吹っ切れてた
空に虹が出るように自然なこと
雨は上がった

だから大事な物はいつも
形のないものだけ
手に入れてもなくしても
気付かぬまま

そうさ悲しみをやさしさに
自分らしさを力に
君ならきっとやれる信じていて
もう一回もう一回
もう一回もういいかい?

English (Full Version)[]

Turning sadness into kindness
Your uniqueness into strength
It's okay to get lost so begin walking
Once again, once again

Do you like to be praised by
Answering everyone's expectations?
Will your smile always be beautiful
Even if you hide your true self?

Just dreaming the beginning then waking up
The continuation can be reached someday by myself

The most important thing is always
Without any shape
Even if you have it or lose it
You'll never know

Turning sadness into kindness
Your uniqueness into strength
It's okay to get lost so begin walking
Once again, once again

Unfair adults are always
Giving lectures every time we meet
Being unable to show their true selves
They get grouchy as they get hurt

Getting the new wind on your side
It's now okay to search for the blue bird

The most important thing is always
Without any shape
Even if you have it or lose it
You'll never know

Turning sadness into kindeness
Your uniqueness into strength
It's okay to get lost so begin walking

It's natural like the rainbow
That somehow appears after tears
The rain stopped

So the most important thing is always
Without any shape
Even if you have it or lose it
You'll never know

Turning sadness into kindnss
Your uniqueness into strength
Believing that you should be able to do it
Once again, once again
Once again, are you ready?
