Lyrics[]
Kata ni hamerareta ruuru toori ni
Ikiteiku koto ha yasashii kedo
Nani mo nai zero no tokoro de
Ruuru wo tsukuru no ha muzukashii koto sa
Dakedo
Furui roopu ni shibararecha ikenai
Bokutachi ha jiyuu nanda
Chorus
"Yume wo wasureta kodomotachi" to
Hito ha iu
"Subete wasureta otonatachi" to
Boku ha iu
"Yume wo wasureta kodomotachi" to hito ha iu
Aa~ jidai ga naiteiru
Dare ka ni shikareta reeru no ue wo
Aruiteiku koto ha raku dakeredo
Michi mo nai areta harano ni
Reeru wo tsukuru no ha kurushii koto sa
Dakedo
Tooi mukou mo shiranakucha ikenai
Bokutachi ha korekara nanda
Chorus ×2
Aa~ jidai ga naiteiru
To live according to rules cast into a mold
is easy, but
Is hard making rules
with nothing from zero
But
We are free,
we should be not tied by old ropes
Chorus
People say "You kids forgot the dream"
And I say
"You adults forgot everything"
People say, "You kids forgot the dream"
Ah, the times are crying
Walking over rails
laid by someone is easy, but
Making those rails in a wilderness
without roads is tough, but
The future is ours,
we don't have to know what's far beyond
Chorus ×2
Ah, the times are crying
