飛び方忘れた鳥のように
歩き方を忘れた僕は
ただひたすら走り続けた

長かったような短かったような
そんな道のりを今
振り返って眺めてみる

そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

ねぇ今もうまくは生きれないよ
そんなに器用な僕じゃないんだ
ねぇだけどひとつだけ言えるとしたら
これからも胸を張ってこの道を行くさ

飛び方忘れた鳥はいつか
もう一度はばたけるだろう
僕が歩き出せたように
