Stage of the groundStage of the ground

飛ぼうtobouとしたってto shitatte 羽根haneなんかnanka 無いってnaitte

Even if you tried to fly, you have no wings —

知ってshitteしまったshimatta natsunohi

The summer day I learned that

古いfuruiyumewo一つhitotsu 犠牲giseiniしてshite

Sacrificing one old dream

大地daichini立っているtatteiruってtte 気付いたkizuitahi

The day I realized I'm standing on the ground

未来永劫mirai eigouni 届きtodokiwaしないshinai

For all eternity, I'll never get through to

あのanotsukimo あのanohoshimo

That moon, those stars

届かないtodokanai場所bashoniあるaruからkara

Because they're in a place I can't get through to

自分jibunno位置ichiga よくyoku解るwakaru

I know exactly where I stand

飛べないtobenaikimiwa 歩いてaruiteいこうikou

You who cannot fly, let's walk instead

絶望zetsubouto出会えたらdeaetara tewoつなごうtsunagou

If you meet despair, take its hand

哀しいkanashiiyoruwo越えてkoete 笑おうwaraoutoするsuruならnara

If you want to smile after making it through a sorrowful night

唄ってutatteやるyaruyo ルララrurara

I'll sing for you — la la la

迷いながらmayoinagara 間違いながらmachigainagara

Wandering, making mistakes

歩いていくaruite iku そのsono姿sugataga正しいんだtadashiinda

Walking forward — that very sight is what's right

kimiga立つtatsu 地面jimenwa ホラhora

The ground where you stand — look

360度sanbyaku rokujuu do 全てsubete michiなんだnanda

360 degrees, all of it is a road

Stage of the groundStage of the ground

Stage of the ground

孤独kodokuno果てhateni 立ち止まるtachidomarutokiwa

When you stop at the edge of loneliness

水筒suitounoフタfutawo 開ければakereba

If you open the lid of your water bottle

出会いdeaito別れwakarewo重ねたkasaneta

Your own face, marked by meetings and partings

自分jibunnokaoga ちゃんとchanto写るutsuru

Will be clearly reflected there

すれ違うsurechigau 誰かdarekaga 落としていったotoshiteitta

Counting the tears that someone

namidawo数えるkazoeru そのsonotabini

Passing by has dropped, each time

「優しくなりたい」yasashiku naritaito願うnegau

Wishing "I want to be kind" —

kimiwa dareよりもyori mo

You are, more than anyone

優しいyasashiihito ルララrurara

A kind person — la la la

そのsonoashini 託されたtakusareta

Entrusted to those feet of yours

幾つもikutsumono祈りinorinoカケラkakeratachito

Countless fragments of prayers

叫んでsakendeやれyare 絞ったshibottakoede

Cry out with all your strained voice

ここkokoまでmade来たんだkitandayoってtte mune張ってhatte

Puff out your chest — you've come this far

Stage of the groundStage of the ground

Stage of the ground

躓いたtsumazuita小石koishiwo 集めてatsumete歩けたらaruketara

If you could collect the stones you've tripped on and keep walking

kiminomewa必ずkanarazu 再びfutatabi光るhikaruだろうdarou

Your eyes would surely shine again

那由多nayutani広がるhirogaru宇宙uchuu そのsono中心chuushinwa小さなchiisanakimi

A universe stretching beyond measure — at its center, tiny you

kimiwoかばってkabatte 散ったchittayumewa

The dreams that fell away to shield you

夜空yozorano応援席ouensekide 見てるmiteru

Are watching from the cheering section of the night sky

強さtsuyosawo求められるmotomerarerukimiga 弱くてもyowakute mo

Even when you're asked to be strong and you're weak

唄ってutatteくれるkureruyo ルララrurara

They'll sing for you — la la la

あのanotsukimo あのanohoshimo

That moon, those stars

全てsubetekiminotameno 舞台照明butai shoumei

All of them are stage lights meant for you

叫んでsakendeやれyare 絞ったshibottakoede

Cry out with all your strained voice

そこsokonikimiga居るiruってttekoto

That you are right there

On the days you wandered, on the days you were wrong

ライトraitowakimiwo照らしていたterashiteitaんだnda

The lights were shining on you all along
