Learn to understand the lyrics!

On top of the roof, looking at the sky
The sun's light is warm and gentle
When I look at the sky, my entire body
Is filled with energy
That's so wonderful!
I can live!
I can't quit!
I can't give up!

Goodbye to the bewildered wanderings of yesterday
My feeling is springing up
I can recall them many times
Let a flower blossom
Memories are a sweet hiding place
Live to see another day
One day a blessing will come
Reach out your hand

Daily life is like an angry wave
A cycle of heaven and hell
I can recall them many times
Let a flower blossom
Run, run, until you find love
If I was to suffer, let it continue
One day a blessing will come
Reach out your hand, reach out your hand
Raise up both your hands!		 yane no ue de sora o aogu
hizashi wa urara ka
miageru sora karada juu
genki ga minagiteku
That's so wonderful!
ikiteru n da!
yamerarenai!
akirameru da nan te

*tohou ni kureta kinou ni sayonara
futsu futsu to wakiagaru kono kimochi
nando demo yomigaeru
hana o sakaseyou
omoide wa itsu mo amai nige basho
dakedo tachi kireasu o ikiru tame
shuku fuku no toki wa kuru
te o nobashite

doutou no hibi wa tsuzuku doko made demo
tengoku to jigoku yukitsu modoritsu
nando demo yomigaeru
hana o sakaseyou
hashire hashire ai o te ni suru made
sore de kurushimu nara nozomu tokoro
shuku fuku no toki wa kuru
te o nobashite, te o nobashite
ryote agete!

*(kurikaeshi : this stanza repeated)

Alternate translation
(attempt to match the beat):

Up upon the rooftop
Looking at the big sky;
Basking in the sun's warm light.

The energy it gives me
Builds within my body:
I can feel it come alive!

It's so wonderful!
I have come alive!

I will never let go;
Won't let this feeling slip...away.....
