Lyrics
Kanji=
 * 人込みに 押されながら
 * 目的地が 離れてしまうけど
 * 遠回り すればいいさ
 * 知らなかった 景色が見つかるよ
 * 現実をはみ出して
 * 奇をてらうことよりも
 * ルールをモノにして
 * 輝きたい もっと
 * ever free 翔(はばた)けるさ
 * ever free 羽がなくても
 * ever free 両手広げ
 * 出会うすべてのために


 * 裏切りに 傷つけられ
 * 疑うことに 慣れてしまうとしても
 * 心まで拒絶したら
 * チャンスだって 尻込みしてゆくよ
 * 正しさを知るだけじゃ
 * 世の中は語れない
 * 時には嘘にさえ
 * 癒されたりするさ
 * ever free 許せるだろう
 * ever free 人の弱さも
 * ever free いつの日にか
 * 晴れた 空に抱かれて
 * 常識という名の 矛盾の嵐に
 * 呼吸が出来ないなら 回れ右で
 * 向かい風を 追い風にするのさ


 * 感情の波に乗り
 * 揺れるのも悪くない
 * それこそ生きている
 * 証拠なのだから
 * ever free 翔(はばた)けるさ
 * ever free 羽がなくても
 * ever free 心ひろげ
 * 出会うすべてのために
 * 守る未来のために

 * -|English Translation=
 * While pushing my way through the crowd,
 * I lose sight of my destination
 * But I am fine with taking a detour
 * I'll see scenery unknown to me
 * I'll escape from reality
 * I'll do more than act different
 * I'll make the rules my own
 * I wish to shine on my own
 * ever free I'll take flight and be
 * ever free Even without feathers I'll be
 * ever free I'll spread my hands open
 * to see all that I can see


 * Even if I am hurt by betrayal,
 * or am the verge of being broken by doubt,
 * or refuse the sanity of my mind,
 * I won't recoil from my opportunities
 * The world doesn't run
 * on truth alone
 * At times even lies
 * serve to heal
 * ever free Can we be forgiven?
 * ever free People's frailty may be
 * ever free And someday we will
 * be wrapped in sunny days
 * If the name of common sense cannot
 * breathe within the storm of contractions, then about face
 * Face the opposing winds and become the tailwind


 * Ride the wave of emotions
 * It's not all bad to waver
 * That's what it means to live
 * That is evident in us all
 * ever free Take flight and be
 * ever free Even without feathers you are
 * ever free Open your heart,
 * for every encounter you will face,
 * for the future you wish to protect
