K-9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ここはどこ? 地図にはない迷路みたいな場所で
「僕はここにいるよ」と今にも泣きそうだよ
考えて 考えて疲れて眠るんだ
目が覚めて 何故か冴えてまた歩き出した

どうにかなるものさ世界って
ひっそり佇んでいたって
陽射しは東から西へ
気付けば僕らの道しるべ

やがて空が 星で染まり (hey, hey)
悩み抜いた 日々が終わり (hey, hey)
笑顔で始まる Grateful days

そう君がいて 僕がいて
それぞれの日々が重なって
ありのまま 風の向かう方角へ僕らも歩き出そう
泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)
泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)
前を向いて あの空見上げて進もう

君はどこ? さすがに独りだけじゃもう辛くて
「僕はここにいるよ」と風みたいな声で叫んだ
そうやって そうやって分かっていくんだ
誰よりも 怯えてたのは僕だってこと

どうにかなるものさ未来って
いつだって何か足りなくて
それでも揺るがなくなって
気付けば確かな道しるべ (oh, oh)

いつの日にか 星が流れ (hey, hey)
その一つが 君の元へ (hey, hey)
そこから始まる Grateful days

そう何度でも 何度でも
繰り返していく毎日が
この先も 何よりも大切な光でありますように
泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)
泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)
前を向いて あの空見上げて進もう

溢れそうな夢の欠片で
繋いでいく日々の向こうが
ささやかな幸せより
幸せでありますように

やがて空が 星で染まり (hey, hey)
悩み抜いた 日々が終わり (hey, hey)
笑顔で始まる Grateful days

そう君がいて 僕がいて
それぞれの日々が重なって
ありのまま 風の向かう方角へ僕らも歩き出そう

そう何度でも 何度でも
繰り返していく毎日が
この先も 何よりも大切な光でありますように
泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)




泣いて (泣いて) 笑って (笑って)
前を向いて あの空見上げて進もう
