行き場のないかごの中で　震えながらないている
ちっぽけで情けない　あの頃の私だった

どうすれば自由になれるの？　胸の奥叫んでた　いつだって

I believe　私はここにいる　この場所で歩き続けてる
さびついた道端に生きる花は　遠い空を目指しまっすくに立つ強さを知った

悩みのない人間なんて　誰一人いやしないけど
すれ違う彼女たちの笑顔　まぶしくて目を伏せた　いつだって

I believe　生まれ変われるなら　悲しみに負けたりはしない
痛いほどしなやかに生きる花のような　汚れのない誇りを抱いて生きていたい

こんな私に差しのべてくれる　優しく強いその手を信じて…

I believe　私はここにいる　この場所で歩き続けてる
さびついた道端に生きる花は　遠い空を目指しまっすぐに立つ強さを知った

I believe　私はここにいる　この場所で歩き続けてる

yukiba no nai kago no naka de   furue nagara naiteiru
chippoke de nasakenai   ano koro no watashi datta
	Lost and trapped, crying and trembling
	Insignificant and pitiful: that was me a long time ago 

dousureba jiyuu ni nareru no?   mune no oku sakendeta  itsu datte
	How do I become free?   From the depths of my heart I shouted out, always

I believe watashi wa koko ni iru   kono basho de aruki tsuzuketeru
sabitsuita michibata ni ikiru hana wa   tooi sora wo mezashi massugu ni tatsu tsuyosa wo shitta
	I believe; I am here;   here I will continue walking on
	I know the strength of the flower that lives by the rusted roadside, aiming straight at the sky

nayami no nai ningen nante  dare hitori iyashinai kedo
surechigau kanojo tachi no egao   mabushikute me wo fuseta   itsu datte
	Though no one dislikes people who are carefree,
	Whenever I passed by laughing girls, their faces were so brilliant I had to turn my eyes away

I believe umare kawareru nara   kanashimi ni maketari wa shinai
itai hodo shinayaka ni ikiru hana no you na   kegare no nai hokori wo daite ikiteitai
	I believe;   If I can be reborn   I will not lose to sadness
	Like the flower living with grace, I want to proudly embrace life, unstained, to the point that it hurts

konna watashi ni sashi nobetekureru   yasashiku tsuyoi sono te wo shinjite...
	I believe in that strong, gentle hand reaching out to me...

I believe watashi wa koko ni iru   kono basho de aruki tsuzuketeru
sabitsuita michibata ni ikiru hana wa   tooi sora wo mezashi massugu ni tatsu tsuyosa wo shitta
	I believe; I am here;   here I will continue walking on
	I know the strength of the flower that lives by the rusted roadside, aiming straight at the sky

I believe watashi wa koko ni iru   kono basho de aruki tsuzuketeru
	I believe; I am here;   here I will continue walking on
