Ima wo kowashite shimaitai
Ima ni sugaritsuite itai
Jibun no koto wa wakaranai

Yarinaoseru hazu nai yo
Shiranai machi ni kakurete mitemo
Mado goshi ni tada ima wo omou

Nigedashitai shoudou kara
Nigedasu made no koujitsu ni mayou

Chigireta kioku wo tadoreba
Ano koro ni datte modoreru
Itsuka no shounen mitai ni

Kanaeru tame umarete kita no
Osanaki hibi ni egaita uchuu
I'm a baby nakitaku mo naru
Te ni ireru tame no
Itami nara so good

Ikiru koto ga tatakai nara
Kachimake mo shikata ga nai koto
Sonna koto kurai wakatte iru yo

Nakidashitai shougeki kara
Hashiridashita asu e to kodou ga sawagu

Massugu ni ikite yukitai
Tada massugu ni ikite itai
Ano hi no shounen mitai ni

Kanaeru tame umarete kita no
Osanaki hibi ni kanjita kokyuu
I'm a baby nakitaku mo naru
Te ni ireru tame no
Itami nara so good

Dareka no kotoba ni tsumadzukitakunai
Madowasaretakunai...

Ashita mo kitto kagayaite iru
Osanaki hibi ni modoranakute ii
Tomorrow's way of my life kowagari dakedo
Hikikaesenai michi ni tatteru

Kanaeru tame umarete kita no
Osanaki hibi ni egaita uchuu
I'm a baby naitari shinai
Te ni ireru tame no
Itami nara so good

translation:

want to wipe away the moment,
But I want to cling to it all the same.
I don't understand myself.

No one has a second shot at life.
I could try to hide in a strange town,
But I'd still be full of doubt.

I want to escape from my childish urges,
I'll just keep wallowing in excuses if I don't.

If I follow the scraps of my memories,
I can return to those innocent days,
Like a little boy in another life.

I dreamed a world in my childhood.
I was born to make it come true.
I'm a baby, and I want to cry.
But if I have to take this pain
To make my dreams come true,
It's not so bad...

If life itself is a battle,
Then I can only win or lose.
Even I get that.

All this pain makes me want to cry.
Now an urge to chase tomorrow springs up.

I want to live on the right path.
I just want to live on the right path.
Like that boy, long long ago.

There was a breath I felt as a child,
I was born to live up to it.
I'm a baby, and I want to cry.
But if I have to take this pain
To make my dreams come true,
It's not so bad...

I don't want to trip over people's words.
I don't want to be a confused little kid.

The future has its own promises.
It's all right if I can't be a kid again.
I might be afraid of Tomorrow's Way,
But Life is a one-way street.

I dreamed so many things as a child,
I was born to live up to them all.

I'm a baby, but I won't cry or whine.
If I have to take a little pain
To make my dreams come true,
It's not so bad at all...
