Tori no Uta (Song of the Bird) [English Lyrics]

Anime: Air
Artist: Lia
Originally Written: July 15th, 2010

We sat down on the bench watching the trail
Of tears washing down the windowpane
They were so beautiful, I couldn't take it; had to run away
I always was so weak, letting go
Mad at myself always scared to change me
Changing the world be easier to me
Than turning someone like me into an angel

A bird with a broken wing can never fly the same, can they?
But they still go on flying like nothing's changed at all
One girl wants to fly against the wind and reach a place far away
She stares across the horizon and wishes she could be there

Kids in school uniforms walk the rainbow railroad tracks
Losing their shoes along the way, their feet feel the wind
We forget these simple times, thinking nothing of it
We think only of our dreams and hope for this reality

Look at the water fading away
As it leaves all its trouble behind
We once were like that when we cross that hill
To watch the sunset fade against the rain and reveal the moonlight
Nothing has changed since that time
Falling deeper into eternity
We guard our strengths all the time,
But we never shield our faults and weakness

The windmill dream of the sky always has to stay the same; it cannot
Change the dream to be something different, unique, and new?
The girl who was from the sky has to abide the same rules, but she won't
Give up her chance to spread her gold wings like her bird friends do

The rainbow is hidden away and the tracks disappeared in the clouds
Storm rage away no matter the conditions
Our memories were intertwined with those tracks that have fade
But we still have time to enjoy them now

Look at the water finding away as it leaves all its trouble behind
The signal to the part of our dreams was given too early and we laughed all day because we both started
To believe in the path that forged for us down that straight path
Even if we slip and fall on our broken dreams, we'll be together and our memories will slay with me


We sat down on the bench watching the trail
Of tears washing down the windowpane
They were so beautiful, I couldn't take it; had to run away
I always was so weak, letting go
Mad at myself always scared to change me
Changing the world be easier to me
Than turning someone like me into an angel
