It’s not that I believe
But that I am trying ‘cause it’s the only, the only thing I can do
I want to stay here
I still want to dream here
Even so, I know the time to leave has come near
Yeah it’s my truth, it’s my truth
That these scars are drawn across my skin
But it’s my fate, it’s my fate
Even so, I still want to fight and win ooh
Maybe I, I can never fly
Fly like those flower petals there; spread my wings in the air
No, I can’t, yeah
Maybe I, I can’t touch the sky
Even so I reach out my hand, run like I just began, a bit more
In all this darkness I’m just walking, I’m walking along
My happiness comes up to me and asks me with a frown
“Are you, are you sure that you are okay?”
Ooh no, eh
I whisper, “No, I’m really not. I’m not. I’m so afraid.”
Holding onto the flowers tightly in my hand, I say:
“I, I’m… I’m just walking, walking along”
Ooh no
But it’s my fate, it’s my fate
Even so, I still want to fight and win ooh
Maybe I, I can never fly
Fly like those flower petals there; spread my wings in the air
No, I can’t, yeah
Maybe I, I can’t touch the sky
Even so I reach out my hand, run like I just began, a bit more
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Don’t cry (cry, cry)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
No lie (no lie, no lie, no lie yeah)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Don’t cry (don’t cry, don’t cry~)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
No lie (lie, lie)
Maybe I, I can never fly
Fly like those flower petals there; spread my wings in the air
No, I can’t, yeah
Maybe I, I can’t touch the sky
Even so I reach out my hand, run like I just began, a bit more
