生きる糧を与えてくれた
飛び方教える鳥のように
この先が暗く辛い未来になっても
ウマくやっていける気がする
いつも厳しく叱ってくれた
狩り方教える虎のように
音楽を奏でながら風を撫でる
そして歌が武器になった
人生努力を怠ることなく
言えないでいた感謝の気持ちを届けたい
生きてゆこう生きてゆこう　ただ一生懸命
この生き様が無様でもいいさ
こんな俺にくれた強いココロを
今でもまだ大事にしている
熱を保ち見守ってくれた
歩き方教える親のように
嘘偽りのない誠実な思いが
来たる明日への道標
分からずにいた今の今まで
でも大丈夫　もうひとりじゃないから
戸惑いながら迷いながら　格好悪くても
這いずり回って格好良くいこう
ぼんやりと浮かぶイメージなびく陽炎
掴めないけど放せないモノがある
The melody is look up at the sky
届けよ届け
人の世はいつも徒然なるままに
生きてゆこう生きてゆこう　ただ一生懸命
この生き様が無様でもいいさ
こんな俺にくれた強いココロを
今でもまだ大事にしている
I am so proud of you all the way

ikiru kate wo ataete kureta
tobi kata oshieru tori no youni
kono saki ga kuraku tsurai mirai ni natte mo
umaku yatte ikeru kigasuru
itsumo kibishiku shikatte kureta
kari kata oshieru tora no youni
ongaku wo kanade nagara kaze wo naderu
soshite uta ga buki ni natta
jinsei doryoku wo okotaru kotonaku
ienai de ita kansha no kimochi wo todoketai
ikite yukou ikite yukou tada isshoukenmei
kono ikisama ga buzama demo ii sa
konna ore ni kureta tsuyoi kokoro wo

The melody is look up at the sky

ikite yukou ikite yukou tada isshoukenmei
kono ikisama ga buzama demo ii sa
konna ore ni kureta tsuyoi kokoro wo
ima demo mada daiji ni shiteiru
I am so proud of you all the way

English = <poem>
You gave me the food I needed to live
Taught me which way to fly just like a bird
From now on, in this dark and tough future
I get the feeling I'll need to be clever to go on
You were always strict and scolded me
Taught me how to hunt just like a tiger
Playing music while the gentle wind blew
And then turned that song into a weapon
Going through life carefree with no effort
I was never able to tell you my feelings of gratitude
I'll continue living, continue living, however hard it may be
This way of life is uncouth but it is sufficient
You gave me such a strong heart
Even now it is still important to me
You watched over me when I had a fever
Taught me which way to walk just like a parent
You never lied and your thoughts were sincere
You guided me into tomorrow
To this very day I did not know much
But it's okay, I'm not alone anymore
Hesitating while being lost is uncool
But creep around like it is cool
The hot air blocks these images from my mind
I can't grasp it but I know there are things I can't let go of
The melody is look up at the sky
Reach for it, reach it
A man's world always becomes tedious like this
I'll continue living, continue living, however hard it may be
This way of life is uncouth but it is sufficient
You gave me such a strong heart
Even now it is still important to me
I am so proud of you all the way
