Lyrics
Rōmaji= Soredemo omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de Nemuru you ni tada iki wo hisome matteru Tokihanate kago wa mou iranai

Aoi tori otogibanashi no you ni shiawase wo hakonde kureru shinjiteta Aoi sora jiyuu ni tobu sugata ni kono omoi kasanete wa negatteta

Dakedo itsuka wa kiete shimau Maboroshi no you ni aimai na sugata

Wasureta koto nante nai kedo suberi ochiru you ni Surinukete awa no you ni kieru Soredemo omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de Nemuru you ni tada iki wo hisome matteru Tokihanate kago wa mou iranai

Dokomademo tsudzuku kagami no naka ni shiawase na ano hi no watashi utsushiteta Tooi sora katachi no nai sekai ni hontou no nukumori wo sagashiteta

As if I'm sleeping, I conceal my breath and wait. Set me free, I don't need a cage anymore.

A blue bird just like in fairy tales. I believed that it would bring me happiness. Seeing it flying in the blue sky, I prayed that our feelings would overlap.

But someday it'll end up disappearing Like a legend, turning into a hazy form.

I've never done something like forget, but as if I tripped and fell, I go through and disappear like bubbles. But even so, these feelings are always, always within my heart, deep deep within. As if I'm sleeping, I conceal my breath and wait. Set me free, I don't need a cage anymore.

Within the mirror that goes on forever, the happy me from that day reflected. In the faraway sky of the world with no form, I searched for true warmth.

From time to time, my heart ends up swaying When I gaze at this narrow sky with my eyes.

It hurts just as much as an overflowing wish, but If I look back, it's as blue as my dream. Even if I can't put it in words, I'm sure I'll reach out my hand, no matter how far. When a monochrome rainbow gets it's colors, A miracle will begin.

That feeling that dripped together with teardrops linked with the same heart as on that day. I throw off the past and post up tomorrow, because if I flip through the pages, I will start to move. Is the blue bird that calls me... Actually inside of me?

"I've never done something like forget, so..." My strained voice turns on the light of dreams for so many people. These feelings I want to make come true are always, always within my heart, deep deep within. Ready to fly, I conceal my breath and wait. Set me free, I don't need a cage anymore.
