ENGLISH TRANSLATION 
Looking at the timing of cars running to north and south 
If we cross the road all at once there will be 
under a girder bridge there is a small space where secrets are gathered  
With concrete, cold covered creek, thin pathway and mountains of sand  
The noises of this world mix up echoing  
On an early afternoon in summer when uneasiness just won't go away   
 
Everyone has a place where they belong! 
Where heart seems to get clear 
By being hugged  
by a pleasantly cool deep forest 
The place where I can feel this way 
It is still there 
 
One day whole family somehow got into panic 
Grandpa was hit by car and broke his leg  
In a nearby hospital on a seemingly firm bed  
He yelled at nurse: "Let me go home already"  
I know, I know, There is no pedestrian crossing 
But it's a short path to my favorite field 
 
Everyone has a place where they belong! 
Where it might be hard to hold laughter 
I seriously wanted 
to become like a manga protagonist 
A place where I can become myself from those days 
It is still there 
 
In the meanwhile, one by one people were leaving the town  
Me too, as I travelled along that route, I was also chasing after something  
 
Being tossed by the noise I grew up 
and have realized a horrible misunderstanding 
 
Everyone has a place where they belong! 
Where I can get scolded without a word  
Where I can laugh from my tricky heart  
That anyway keeps waiting 
Where I can jump over flowing river  
over and over again 
a Place where I can become myself from those days 
It is still there 
 
It is there

JAPANESE 歌詞 
南北に走る車のタイミング見て 
一斉に駆け抜ける 渡っちまえばそこには 
高架下 秘密を持ち寄った小さな宇宙 
コンクリート 冷たい暗渠 か細い線路 砂の山 
この世のノイズがまじり響く 
胸騒ぎ止まらぬ夏の昼下がり 
 
誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ 
心が透き通ってゆくような 
ひんやり深い森に 
抱きしめられる 
そんな気分になれるという 
それは今もそこに 
 
ある日家族がなんだか慌てていた 
おじいちゃんがはねられ足が折れちゃったんだって 
近所の病院の固そうなベッドの上で 
はやく家に帰らせろって 看護婦に怒鳴りちらしてる 
わかるよわかる 横断歩道ないけど 
大好きな畑までの近道だもの 
 
誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ 
思わず笑ってしまうような 
漫画のヒーローを 
本気で目指してる 
いつかの自分になれるという 
それは今もそこに 
 
そのうち一人二人と町から流れ出してゆき 
僕もあの道をたどり 何かを追いかけていった 
 
喧騒に揉まれ 成長しただなんて 
みっともない勘違いに気づいたよね 
 
誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ 
何も言わず叱られてるような 
ずる賢い心嗤うような 
それでいて待っててくれるような 
流れる川に 
何度も飛び込む 
いつかの自分になれるという 
それは今もそこに 
 
そこにある
