[Verse 1]
Good morning sun
こどものきみわなやんでいるけど
わたしもまだまだおとならしくふるまえない

[Pre-Chorus]
あのひみたゆめにしゅうしふをふった

[Chorus]
Everybody knows いたみからにげだしたいときもあるって
げんじつをうけいれることわかんたんでわないよ
まようばかりだ

[Verse 2]
おとなわすべてのこたえをしっているみたいだけど
ほんとうわだれもがたすけをもとめているんだ

[Pre-Chorus]
おれでもきみのためにちからになりたくて

[Chorus]
Everybody knows いたみからにげられないときもあるって
もんだいからめをそらしていこうすればするほど
ながいことくるしむか
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Good morning sun
Good morning sun
Good morning sun, oh
Good morning sun
I am a bird
Oh
Oh

[Pre-Chorus]
あのひみたゆめにつｄずきわあるから

[Chorus]
Everybody knows じぶんらしさわいたみからうまれてくる
Everybody knows it hurts to grow up
And everybody does and so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what the years go on and
We're still fighting it
We're still fighting it
We're still fighting it
We're still fighting it
