旅の空 (Tabi no Sora, or The Open Road) Music and Lyrics by Mike Bass, Japanese Lyrics Edited by Koichi Kitagawa ©2011 いいのかな いいのなら いいのかな 旅の空 いいのかな いいのなら いいのかな 旅の空 窓を 拭きもせずに 眺めてみるよ 張り裂けそうな胸 気がかりなことに 向き合えば まどろみに心をまかせて いいのかな いいのなら いいのかな 旅の空 吹っ切れて 赤くにじんだ手 すっきりすれば 大丈夫かな 乗り越えた顔に 光が浸って 気付くことを ただ微笑みで リズムに乗せて この歌を 奏でるよ ただ微笑みで いいのかな いいのなら いいのかな 旅の空 いいのかな いいのなら いいのかな 旅の空

[English Translation] 旅の空 (Tabi no Sora, or The Open Road) Music and Lyrics by Mike Bass, Japanese Lyrics Edited by Koichi Kitagawa ©2011 I wonder if it’s OK, if it is OK, I wonder if it’s good, the open road. I wonder if it’s OK, if it is OK, I wonder if it’s good, the open road. With film on the window, I gaze out, my chest like it could burst. If I face my fears, calmly trust in my heart... I wonder if it’s OK, if it is OK, I wonder if it’s good, the open road. My hand may get red and blurred from breaking through, but if done cleanly, it’ll be fine. The light peaks through and drenches my face, just smile at the things I realize. Ride the rhythm, play this song, just smile. I wonder if it’s OK, if it is OK, I wonder if it’s good, the open road. I wonder if it’s OK, if it is OK, I wonder if it’s good, the open road.
