白い羽根が舞いおちる部屋の中で彼は絵を画く
眺めの良い窓は閉ざしたまま 鳥の絵を
部屋のすみには足をつながれた鳥が 必死に羽ばたき
彼はそれを哀しげに見つめては
彼女に想いをはせて

Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
すぐそばに今存るのに
Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
遠のいて行く とどかないもっと高く

…今が昼なのか夜なのかさえ解らない…

幾つもの夜を越えて ふいに彼は重い窓を開けた
太陽と風が部屋に広がり
彼を外へつれ去った

Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
舞い上がる 風の中
Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
閉ざしたまま 羽根は広がらず落ちて行く

It look like white feathers
少しの歪みの後にすべてを知る 叶わぬ事を

Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
すぐそばに存るのに
Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
指先さえ ふれられない
Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
あの鳥のように この地につながれている
Will you please tell me
The way to the sky
ああ 空は何も変わらず そこにいた

L’Arc~en~Ciel

L'Arc-en-Ciel (French, ‘The Rainbow’) is a Japanese rock band, founded in Osaka in 1991. With a reported 40 million records sold, they were the first Japanese act to headline at Madison Square Garden. In 2003, they were ranked 58 on a list of the top 100 Japanese pop musicians by HMV Japan. While they first got their start as a visual kei band, they have not had any association with the movement since their major label debut in 1994.
