Tsubasa ga attara
Oozora wo tonde
Doko e itte miyou ka to
Kangaete mita keredo...
Ano kaze ni notte
Kumo wo yokogitte
Ima boku no mezasu basho ga
Omoitsukanai
Sora wo tobanakute mo
Aruite yukerunda
Sonna ni isogu koto wa nai sa
Shiawase wa matte iru
Tsubasa wa iranai
Yume ga areba ii
Daichi wo fumishimenagara
Yukkuri arukou
Tsubasa ga haetara
Jiyuu ni nareru yo
Doko e demo omoidoori
Negai wa kanau darou
Sono saki ga miezu
Nayamu koto mo nai
Me no mae no iya na koto mo
Fukande mirareru
Soredemo naze darou?
Arukou to shite iru
Jibun de ase kaiteru uchi ni
Shiawase wa chikadzuku yo
Tsubasa wa iranai
Kibou ga aru kara
Kanashimi mo michi no tochuu
Hitasura arukou
Tori wa sora kara
Bokura no koto wo
Nagamete omou
Tsubasa ga (tsubasa ga)
Nai tte (nai tte)
Subarashii
Sora wo tobanakute mo
Aruite yukeru kara
Jibun ga motteru mono dake de
Shiawase ni narerunda
Tsubasa wa iranai
Ima no boku ga ii
Harukanaru michi no saki wo
Yumemite arukou
Yumemite arukou
If I had wings
I would fly through the sky
Caught up in wondering
Where I should go...
Riding the wind
I would traverse the clouds
Though I don't yet know
Where I'm heading now
But even if I can't fly
I'll simply travel by walking
There's no rush
Happiness is out there waiting
I don't need wings
It's enough that I have dreams
With my feet planted firmly on the ground
I'll slowly make my way forward
If I grew wings
I would become free
Going wherever I please
All my wishes would come true
Even without knowing what's up ahead
I wouldn't have any worries
I'd be soaring high above
All the unpleasant things before me
So then why is it
That I'd rather be walking?
While I'm exerting myself
I'm coming ever closer to happiness
I don't need wings
Because I have hope
If I meet sadness along the way
My determination will keep me going
The birds in the sky
Look down upon us
And think
How splendid it is
That we don't
Have wings
Even if I can't fly through the sky
I'm fine because I can walk
All I need to be happy
Are the things I have now
I don't need wings
I like the way I am
Heading towards the distant road
I walk in my dreams
