Raising up your weary, trampled body
Though it is freezing, you rub your frozen, numbed hands together
You go on, your white frosty breath hanging in the air

Because your pride is stuffed tightly [1]
in the pocket of your tired jeans,
You believe, with conviction, that you will not stumble anymore [2]

In your heart, though the storm pours down heavily
You embrace yourself as you are, so that even if you don’t have a home [3]
Someday it becomes a rain of joy
So that you don’t lose sight of where you are now

Though you become hoarse, you continue to cry out
Ernestly, honestly, your voice echoes toward the sky
Surely it will reach the one who is special to you

Though you may be mocked, or you may suffer, though you may cry sometimes
Those tears are necessary for you
In doing so, you grow up
Right now, this time is an important seed

Someday, the careless words and the cold gazes that are thrown your way
Will change into confidence in your tightly closed fists
It will someday become a rain of joy
So that you don’t lose sight of where you are right now

踏みつけられた　体をそっと起こして
冷たくても　かじかんだ手を　こすりながら
君は白い息を　浮かべて　行くんだね

疲れた　ジーパンのポケットに
しっかりと　自我を詰め込んだから
もう転んだりしない　そう強く　信じて

心の中に　嵐が来て　たくさんの雨降らせても
そのままで君を　抱きしめてくれる　場所がなくても
いつか喜びの　雨になるから
今いる君の場所　見失わぬように

声が嗄れても　素直に　正直に
叫び続ける　君の声は　空へと響き
きっと届くはず　君の大切な人に

馬鹿にされても　悔しくても　時には声を上げて泣いても
それは君にとってきっと　必要な　涙だから
その中で君が　大きくなっていくから
今この時間が　大切な種になるから

いつか誰かが　吐き捨てた言葉も　冷たい眼差しも
君の強く握りしめた手が　自信に変えるから
いつか喜びの　雨になるから
今いる君の場所　見失わぬように
