We were all looking
at the first star,
the star that someone will tell us about someday
It was a long, long journey
until we got here
We thought that what we aimed for
was just an illusion
There was no pain
in such a wondrous thing
Walking and looking at the sky
wasn't at all unpleasant
Why did we believe
in an existence we could never see?
We were searching for a miracle
somewhere in this world
From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come
Like an unpaved road,
there was no comfort before today
We were convinced that it was something
we could not do easily
Why did we grow nervous, although
we were scolded time and time again?
We were imagining a dream that grew
just slightly closer than yesterday
How much did we sweat?
We must have shed even so many tears
The blueprints of the future
spread out from that place
We noticed the first star before we knew it
The dreams at which we aimed are right by it
Having quarreled, we
won light and became stars,
and so effort is not something harsh
You can do it for sure because you love
Please try doing what you want to do
You can turn to reality the dreams
that you yearned for and lost yourself in
From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come
