Turning yesterday's weakness into today's strength — see you, look at that, you've grown so much

Something about the way your back looks as you run around laughing —

「"想いomoiとto言葉kotobaでde伝えていかなきゃtsutaete ikanakyaダメdame」"僕bokuのno中nakaのno僕bokuがga言うんだiundaよyo

"You have to get it across with feelings and words" — that's what the me inside me says

You'll probably figure it all out real soon

Before you grow up and become an adult — I have to leave something, but it's not this or that

The petals of time just keep fluttering and falling away — and honestly, I'm in a panic

I hope what's behind my smile doesn't show — gazing at you, strong and gentle

I'm trying my best to do exactly that, but

Even when I get angry sometimes and let sharp words fly — a question mark floats up — something's off

Maybe there are things that just can't get through with that alone

I'll cast the magic of "it's okay, it's okay" over you

And that's exactly what the permit for the future looks like

I'm gradually realizing there's no rule that says you have to be shaped like someone else

「"君kimiはwa君kimiでいてde ite」"簡単にkantan ni言えたならieta nara　苦労ないkurou naiよyo　だけどねdakedo ne

If only "be yourself" were something I could just say easily — life would be simpler, but

That's right, I've been watching over you for exactly a day like this

Your journey, lit up by the morning sun — set off without hesitation, one step at a time, one step at a time
