Cloud 9
Kanno Yoko (feat. Sakamoto Maaya) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

声が聞こえる
泣き止んだ空に響く声が
心の的射抜いた

君がいた夏
追いかけ冬の終わりを行く
導いてくれるのは
あの日聞こえた君の言葉

吹雪の匂い
倍音に混ざった高周波

思い出はたくさんあるけど
振り向けばそれだけ遅れてしまいそうだから
闇雲にその道を進んだ
明日を祈りながら

限りない果てしないかけがえない夢に
駆り立てるのは眠れる野性なんだ
アテのない飾らない救いのない日々を
歩き続ける
僕らは旅の子供だから

導かれているのか
何かから逃げ続けているのか
(終わりなき世界)
いつか辿り着いた時
夢の続きが見れるだろう

変わらない怖れない僕たちの強さ
絶望からの始まり手にしたから
忘れない奪えない遠い日の記憶
小さな骨が残されてる尻尾

限りない果てしないかけがえない夢に
駆り立てるのは眠れる野性なんだ
頂上登りつめたクライマーのように
至福の場所へいつか辿り着きたい
歩き続けよう
僕らは旅の子供だから

声が聞こえる

泣き止んだ空の彼方で
君が待っている
