Kanji[]
優しい色した空を映して 高層ビルがやけにキレイだ
行きかう人たちそれぞれの胸の中で 景色は変わって見える
悲しい色した誰かの為に 今の自分に何ができるのか?
飛べない鳥達 そんなに空が高いとは思わない 思いたくない
ちょっとしたコトで不安になるから
「大丈夫だ」って書いたノートのページをやぶって作った
紙飛行機が飛んでゆくよ 明日にどうか間に合う様に
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 夕日をおいかけているよ
紙飛行機が落ちないように ボクは空に願いをかける
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 夢が見たいから
やさしい色した時間の中で 自分がとても小さく見えた
終わってしまう今日を想って 何かできるコトをさがすけれど
なんだかちょっと考え過ぎたな
「大丈夫だ」って思えればそれが 第一歩になる!!
紙飛行機が飛んでゆくよ 明日にどうか間に合う様に
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 夕日をおいかけているよ
紙飛行機が落ちないように ボクは空に願いをかける
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 夢が見たいから
紙飛行機が飛んでゆくよ 何度も風にぶつかりながら
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 遠くまでどこまでも高く
紙飛行機が飛んでゆくよ 夢が夢で終わらないように
ずっとずっと ずっとずっと 信じつづけている
だからずっとずっと ずっとずっと 飛んでゆけるよ
English[]
The skyscrapers are gorgeous when the pastel sky reflects on them
Each person passing by sees the scene differently in their own heart
Can you do anything to help someone who's feeling blue as you are now?
Flightless birds don't think the sky's so very high, they don't want to think of it like that
I was worrying about nothing
So I wrote "it's going to be okay" on a page in my notebook and tore it out
I made a paper plane and sent it flying, hoping it would somehow be in time for tomorrow
Chasing the setting sun forever and ever
I send a prayer to the sky, begging for my paper plane to never land
Because I want to dream forever and ever
When the sky pales, I feel so very small
I think about the day that's ending and try to find some way I can make a difference
But maybe I'm overthinking it
Believing that everything's going to be okay is the first step forward
I send the paper plane flying, hoping it'll somehow be in time for tomorrow
Chasing the setting sun forever and ever
I send a prayer to the sky, begging for my paper plane to never land
Because I want to dream forever and ever
I send the paper plane flying, it's buffeted about by the wind again and again
But keeps going further, higher, to the ends of the earth, forever and ever
I send the paper plane flying, so that my dreams won't die without being realised
I'll keep believing, forever and ever
So it can keep on flying, forever and ever.
