晴れたり曇ったりして
空もわたしたちのように
泣きながら生きてるんだ
愛という愛を全部見せて
君に伝えたい
ないがしろにした想い
だって可哀想でしょう
※I can fly away 飛んでゆけ
君への想いをのせて
Try again
自分のこと 信じてあげたい
I gotta fly away 壊せばいい
誰かを好きになるのに
Try again
薄っぺらな躊躇いはいらない※
夢の先 虹の先 咲き誇れ 愛は泉
空の果て 時の果て 果てしない何かが待つ
ニシヘヒガシヘ ひらかせて
I can fly away 飛んでゆけ
眠れぬ想いをのせて
Try again
この声を 隔てるものはない
I gotta.

The lyrics of Alan's song 空唄 (Sora Uta) is a beautiful tribute to the ever-changing sky and its similarity to human emotions. The first stanza says that just like how the sky changes from clear blue to cloudy and back to clear again, humans also live their lives while shedding tears. The desire to express one's love and not neglecting their feelings is expressed in the second stanza when the singer wishes to show all her love to the person she loves. The third stanza encourages the listener to fly away and try again, to believe in themselves, and not to have shallow hesitation. The idea of blooming love likened to a rainbow at the end of a dream is beautifully contrasted with something eternal and endless waiting at the end of time.
The final stanza is a hopeful one, urging the listener to open up their hearts to the West and the East, and to fly away even if they have restless and sleepless thoughts. The repetitive chorus shows how important it is to express one's love and not to hold back. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and courage, inspiring the listener to keep moving forward.
Overall, 空唄 is a powerful, emotional song that speaks of the beauty and complexity of human emotion and the endless possibilities of life.
