迎えたみたいで奇跡的かもね
二度とはちょっと味わえないよね
もう一度 思い出して
refrain:
この地球に生まれついた日
きっと何だか嬉しくて
僕達は泣いていたんだ
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah
現実は裏切るもので判断さえ
誤るからねそこにある価値は
その目でちゃんと目極めていてね
自分のものさしで
こんな時代に生まれついたよ
だけど何とか進んでって
だから何とかここに立って
僕達は今日を送ってる
wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah
こんな地球に生まれついたよ
何だかとても嬉しくて
何だかとても切なくて
大きな声で泣きながら
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah
こんな時代に生まれついたよ
だけど君に出会えたよ
こんな地球に生まれついたよ
だから君に出会えたよ

こんな時代に生まれついたよ
だけど何とか進んでって
だから何とかここに立って

The lyrics of Sahashi Toshihiko's song EVOLUTION poetically reflect on the experience of living in a new era filled with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. It opens with a recognition of a new beginning, perhaps triggered by something miraculous, that cannot be replicated. The refrain captures the emotions and memories associated with the day of birth on this Earth, where happiness and sorrow were felt and tears were shed. The song then acknowledges the uncertain and deceitful nature of reality but urges one to identify the value in it by measuring it with their own yardstick.
The second verse follows the same pattern but acknowledges that the singer was born in such a time, but they have made it so far, still standing strong. The third verse displays gratitude for meeting someone special, possibly a significant other, because of being born in this world. The song ends where it started, with a repetition of the refrain, emphasizing the importance of resilience and making the most out of living in the present.
