Kanji:

思うまま書き描いた　色を褪せない夢は
願う未来つなぐけれど　子供のまま辿り着けなくて

心に閉じ込めて　忘れ去られていた
あの頃は　夢をいつまでも描いて

後悔して　嘆いていても　取り戻せなくて

空高く　鳥のように　自由に飛び回ろう
世界を抱きしめるように大きく羽ばたいて

頬なでる風は　とても冷たく感じたけど
いつのまにか心地よくて　言葉で語れないもどかしさ

心の扉明け　空に解き放とう
色付いた夢を　思うまま描けば

後悔して　嘆くのやめて　また歩き出そう

流れ込む水のように　自由に行き渡ろう
世界を潤おせるように　やさしく浸しては

しみ出した水は　とても冷たく感じたけど
いつのまにか心地よくて　素直になれなくて　もどかしい

いつまでも書き描いた　あの頃の夢はまた
願う未来つないで行く　たとえ忘れようと

思うまま書き描いた　色を褪せない夢は
願う未来つなぐけれど　子供のまま辿り着けなくて

English:

There happens to be a dream, one that will never fade, 
one that answers all my wishes.
But though it was tied to the future I long for, 
I was too small then to ever reach it.

But though I have locked it in my heart and tried to forget it,
that dream is forever drawing itself, forever moving on as time goes by.

And no matter how I regret it, no matter how I long for a second chance, 
I know I could never bring back the time that had flowed by.

Like a bird that flies up to meet the sky, 
as if to embrace the world with my wings,
How I wish to fly up high and flap hard.

Though the wind brushing my cheeks feel so cold,
Before I know it I'm feeling so great, so heavenly; 
it's just so bad that I could not put it to words.

I'll open up my heart once more, and take to the skies, free and powerful.
If I could just once again live up to my everlasting dream

I'll stop drowning myself in regret and start walking again.

Like the water freely flowing, slowly drenching their path,
As if to moist the land, 
how I wish for the memory of me to instill the whole world.

Though the streaming floods seem so cold,
Before I know it I'm feeling so wonderful, 
so marvelous, it's impossible to remain calm.

The dream I had drawn. That dream of my past.
That everlasting dream has again moved, heading to the future it is tied to. Never stopping, though I seem to forget it.

There happens to be a dream, one that will never fade, 
one that answers all my wishes.
But though the future I long for was right there, 
I was too small then to ever reach it.
