3万フィートの空の上で
夕陽の中へ向けて飛んでいきながら
自分の選んだ全ての道はそれぞれの神秘へと導いてくれると信じる
私の下には苦悩に満ちた地球が
そして上には何もない宇宙が広がる
自分が世間にそむいた道を歩み始めたのは
いったい何時からのことだろう?
両親はいい子に育つようにと願っていた
そして世の中を見る目を授けようとしていた
戦う価値を認められることには必ず
代償がつきまとうものだと
暗闇の中 私のそばで
自分たちの誇りを楯に私を占め続けたんだ
でもそんな両親は知っていたのだろうか?
結局彼らが私に教えたことは
世間の裏切り者として生きるしかないという
ことだったなんて............
Flying into the sunset at thirty thousand feet
Thinking that every road I take leeds to another mystery
Belong me all the troubled
And above me empty sky
When did I know that I was born
To walk on the renegade side?
My parents tried raise me well and to give me eyes to see
That the only things worth fighting for all the ones that don't come for free
They stood by me in the darkness
And they billed me with their pride
But did they know they were teaching me
To walk on the renegade side?
A heart filled with passion
A mind filled with dreams
You say nothing can change
The things you believe
But someday somebody will make you decide
To run while you can or stand
On the renegade side
To every person out there tonight who feels like he don't belong
Who was born with dreams that seemed so right
In a world that seems so wrong
There's a million more who felt like you
'Til they finally realize
Sometimes the only chance you've got is
Out on the renegade side
Some were born to carry
Some were born to ride
I always knew that I was born
To walk on the renegade side
Keep walking.......
