ちっぽけな空を見上げて
息を吸い込む
緑の匂う空き地見慣れた風景
今日より明日の方が違う景色を
抱き締めていられるために
助走をつけて
この翼を大きく広げ
見つけて行きたい

ずっとまだ見ぬ世界の果ての
大切なものを
もう心に溢れる羽根が
待ち切れなくって
鼓動が駆け足で何度も
騒がしく過ぎる
毎日が好き

大空を飛んだ夢を見て
目を覚ましたなら
なんでも出来る気がして
街へと出掛けた
今なら転んだって立ち上がれそう
涙をこらえれば
強くなれる気がする
この翼が羽ばたく限り
試してみたいの
生まれてきた意味も勇気も
刻んで飛びたい
もう心に溢れる想い
持ち切れなくって
加速してもっと遠くへと
望み続けてる
生き方が好き

ずっと探して来たもの
「大切なもの」は
時間が教えてくれるもの
見えてくるものだった
この翼が羽ばたく限り
夢がある限り
なくさない情熱がきっと見つけた
見つめてきた全てのものが
何より大切なものだと
気づき始めてる
だからゴールなんていらない

まだ見ぬ世界へこの翼を飛ばし
行きたいの
