上を向いて歩こう through tears that blur the night
Looking up above me now, the sky is reaching new heights
"Yeah... look up... look up..."
Storm of notifications, night lit up in blue
Envying everybody's story, lost in what they do
The real me inside is nowhere found behind the filter screen
Chasing likes just searching for a place where I can be seen
Three o'clock in the morning, ceiling in the dark
Tracing on the screen, a quiet tear leaves a mark
A secret in the silence that I can't tell anyone at all
Taking off my earphones, city noise begins to fall
Looking out the window, past the glass so clear
A little tired of the neon lights that flicker near
The place where I can truly be myself, standing on my own
I know it's out there somewhere, waiting to be known
上を向いて歩こう through tears that blur the night
Looking up above me now, the sky is reaching new heights
Holding back the memories so they won't slip and fall away
Wrapping in the gentle breeze, I'm stepping into today
Yeah, just looking up... holding on tight... still searching for the light
To find a brand new tomorrow that is mine alone
No more hiding my tears, no more fronting like I'm strong
Accepting all my weakness is the pride where I belong
Rather than somebody else's happiness on the screen
I'll believe the gradient sky right here in front of me
Scared of getting hurt, if I just freeze and stay right here
Even who I am today would start to disappear
Even with my clumsy steps, I can still go far and wide
Holding tight to every hope, I'll walk with them inside
上を向いて歩こう a smile upon my face
Looking out, the world opens wide in a vast embrace
Keeping memories like treasures that will never fade away
Chasing after wilder winds, I'm breaking out today
Yeah, we looking up... chasing the sky... still alive, feeling so high
Embracing a brand new tomorrow that is mine alone
上を向いて歩こう through tears that blur the night
Looking up above me now, the sky is reaching new heights
Holding back the memories so they won't slip and fall away
Wrapping in the gentle breeze, I'm stepping into today
Yeah, just looking up... it's gonna be alright... just me, myself, and the night
To find a brand new tomorrow that is mine alone
Looking up into the sky, I know I'm not alone
