## Lyrics

### TV-size.

* Kanji & Kana

* English

キラリ蝶が飛んでいった　砂埃が大地に舞う

遥か彼方 それでも空に憧れた Ah

睨めど星は落ちない

どうやって捕まえよう、この場所から

遠ざかる群青の下で平等が罠を張る

部屋に針が落ちる

日陰と日差し待ちわびエントロピーが満ちていく

制限的自由の中で

君はどう生きるのかって　問われたみたいだ

Step by step

少しずつ掴み取るんだ光を

変化は怖くない 進化を遂げよう

這い上がる 何度でも 空はいつでも待っている

僕らは地球って部屋を歩く旅人

Kirari chou ga tonde itta sunabokori ga daichi ni mau

Haruka kanata soredemo sora ni akogareta Ah

Niramedo hoshi wa ochinai

Dou yatte tsukamaeyou, kono basho kara

Toozakaru gunjou no shita de byoudou ga wana o haru

Heya ni hari ga ochiru

Hikage to hizashi machiwabi entoropii ga michiteiku

Seigenteki jiyuu no naka de

Kimi wa dou ikiru no ka tte towareta mitai da

Step by step

Sukoshizutsu tsukamitorun da hikari o

Henka wa kowakunai shinka o togeyou

Haiagaru nando demo sora wa itsudemo matteiru

Bokura wa chikyuu tte heya o aruku tabibito

Twinkling, a butterfly takes to the air.

A dust cloud dances across the Earth.

Though the sky may be far away,

It still longed to reach it, Ah...

Glaring at the stars won't make them fall.

So, how shall we catch them from here?

The ultramarine above grows distant

As equality sets a trap beneath.

Needles fall all around our room.

Shade and sunlight blend as entropy comes to fruition.

Almost as if asking you

How you'll choose to live with limited freedom.

Step by step,

Take hold of the light, bit by bit.

Change isn't scary, so complete your evolution!

We'll crawl back up as many times as it takes—the sky will always be waiting.

We're travelers walking across this room called "Earth".
### Full ver.

キラリ蝶が飛んでった

砂埃が大地に舞う

遥か彼方　それでも空に憧れた

睨めど　星は落ちない

どうやって捕まえよう？

この場所から

遠ざかる群青の下で　平等が罠をはる

部屋に針が落ちる

日陰と日差し交わり　エントロピーが満ちてく

制限的自由の中で　君はどう生きるのかって

問われたみたいだ

Step by Step　少しずつ

掴みとるんだ　光を

変化は怖くない　進化を遂げよう

這い上がる　何度でも

空はいつでも待っている

僕らは　地球って部屋を歩く旅人

迫り来る嘘の音　不安定な欺き

逃げようとは思わない

思い出を積み上げて　色濃くなる室温

差し伸べるから掴んで　世界は君だけじゃない

共に戦うよ

Day by Day　みつかった

居場所の中で　確かに

結び付いてく　絆があるから

虚像たち　崩れてく

本当の力　剥き出す

僕らは　行くべき空に近づいている

フワリ蝶が花に問う

「今の場所で満足かい？」

空を背にして　美しくあざ笑ってた

大地を蹴り　蝶に続く

僕らは今　飛び立つ

Step by Step　少しずつ

掴みとるんだ　光を

変化は怖くない　進化を遂げよう

這い上がる　何度でも

空はいつでも待っている

一人じゃ開けない扉の前

君と一緒ならば　自由になれる

Twinkling, a butterfly takes to the air.

A dust cloud dances across the Earth.

Though the sky may be far away, it still longed to reach it.

Glaring at the stars won't make them fall.

So, how shall we catch them

From down here?

The ultramarine above grows distant as equality sets a trap beneath.

Needles fall all around our room.

Shade and sunlight blend as entropy comes to fruition.

Almost as if asking you how you'll choose to live

With limited freedom.

Step by step, bit by bit

Take hold of the light!

Change isn't scary, so complete your evolution!

We'll crawl back up as many times as it takes—

The sky will always be waiting.

We're travelers walking across this room called "Earth".

A false sound assails us: an unstable deception.

But we don't think to escape.

Accumulating memories here, the room temperature becomes more pronounced.

I'll reach out my hand, so take hold! You're not alone in this world.

I'll fight by your side!

Day by day, we found

Something certain, in a place we felt comfortable.

It's because we have bonds that tie us closer together.

Pretense begins to fall away

And our true power is revealed.

We're growing closer to a sky where we belong.

Gently, the butterfly asks a flower, "Are you happy where you are now?"

Turning its back to the sky, the flower sneered beautifully.

But we kick the ground, following the butterfly's lead,

And take to the sky!

Step by step, bit by bit

Take hold of the light!

Change isn't scary, so complete your evolution!

We'll crawl back up as many times as it takes—

The sky will always be waiting.

Standing before a door we can't open alone,

As long as I'm with you, I can attain freedom!
