KANJI

例えば今 急にここから姿を消したら
一人くらい探そうとしてくれたりしますか
見つかるまで 人は優しいものと
信じながら 待ってていいのですか

大人になっていくことと
無邪気な子供でいるのは
どっちが辛いことですか
そんな質問はやめましょう
あなたが咲くのなら

人ごみで溢れ返すこの街にいたなら
一人くらい聞く耳持ってくれたりしますか
続いて行く   いつまでも終わらない
この叫びは 誰かに届きますか

いつか散ること知りながら
愛されて ただ美しく
まっすぐに伸びて行くのは
どんな勇気がいりますか

大人になっていくことと
無邪気な子供でいるのは
どっちが辛いことですか
そんな質問はやめましょう
あなたが咲くのなら

いつか散ること知りながら
踏まれても ただ誇らしく
まっすぐに伸びて行くのは
どんな力がいりますか

過ぎた日々 振り返るのと
明日に期待をするのは
どっちが怖いことですか
そんな質問はやめましょう
あなたが咲くのなら


ENGLISH (Translation)

For instance, if I quickly ran away now,
Would you search for me?
Until I'm found, is it ok to wait while believing
That people are kind?

Becoming an adult,
Or staying an innocent child;
Which one is worse?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom.

If we were in this city overflowing with people,
Would you listen to me?
Will this neverending
Shout reach anyone?

While you know that you'll wither eventually,
You're loved, still beautifully.
What kind of bravery do you need
To grow straight and tall?

Becoming an adult,
Or staying an innocent child;
Which one is worse?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom.

While you know that you'll be scattered sometime,
Even if you're stepped on you're still proud.
What kind of strength do you need
To grow straight and tall?

Looking back at the days past,
Or having hope for tomorrow,
Which one is scarier?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom..
