As the sakura blossomed I nervously pushed open the door with the spring breeze On my first day at school Everyone around me was shining so brightly And I was the only one without any confidence
Tough lessons often left me in tears And I wanted to just run away so many times It looks like this is probably impossible for me But just when I was about to give up
Tightly holding on to my hand While cheerfully smiling at me Was a friend wearing the same uniform Whose name I had just barely remembered In a soft voice they told me that "Our dreams are waiting for us Beyond these corridors So let's reach them together" And shared with me their courage
By the time the sunflowers swayed in the wind I became really close with my classmates Turns out I wasn't the only one who was worried And all together we watched the sun set
Depression struck when I failed to keep up And I wanted to drop out of school entirely Although I was ready to clear out the locker in my heart And prepare to go home
Tightly holding on to my hand While guiding me So I wouldn't lose my way Was a friend who shared the same dream Who convinced me that "Someday our sweat and our tears Will turn into brilliant memories So let's continue to give it everything we have Until the day we graduate"
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! We'll all be together aiming for the same stage Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! No matter how tough it becomes we'll carry on with our peace signs
Tightly holding on to my hand While cheerfully smiling at me Was a friend wearing the same uniform Whose name I had just barely remembered In a soft voice they told me that "Our dreams are waiting for us Beyond these corridors So let's reach them together" And shared with me their courage
