Lyric

To the sky of Ibuki

AKI

静かに動き出す朝

胸の奥で揺れる光

昨日の涙が乾くころ

新しい風が吹き抜けた

言葉にならない願いを

両手で空に放つように

遠くで響く鳥の声

未来を呼んでいる

何度倒れても立ち上がる

この心はまだ終わらない

伊吹の空へ 風を裂いて

僕は今、飛び立つ

恐れ静かに動き出す朝

胸の奥で揺れる光

昨日の涙が乾くころ

新しい風が吹き抜けた

言葉にならない願いを

両手で空に放つように

遠くで響く鳥の声

未来を呼んでいる

何度倒れても立ち上がる

この心はまだ終わらない

伊吹の空へ 風を裂いて

僕は今、飛び立つ

恐れよりも強くなれ

痛みを抱いても構わない

小さな勇気の種が

いつか大地を変えるから

光を追いかけながら

翼のないままでもいい

心の声が導く方へ

新しい空へよりも強くなれ

痛みを抱いても構わない

小さな勇気の種が

いつか大地を変えるから

光を追いかけながら

翼のないままでもいい

心の声が導く方へ

新しい空へ
