この曲を原曲の歌詞で歌ったカバーはもうアップ済みですが、英語カバーのリクエストをいくつかいただいたので、今日は英語バージョンをお届けします♪
I've already covered this in the original Japanese with an English translation, but I had several requests for an English version, so here it is!
(以下は以前アップした日本語バージョンの時のコメントです。)
AUのCMに使用されているあの曲ですが、実は19世紀のアメリカのフォークソングのメロディーをゴスペル風にアレンジして出来た曲です。このメロディーを使った童歌もあって、私は子供の時から慣れ親しんでいます。日本のテレビでこのアレンジを聴いたら驚きましたが、このアレンジと前向きな歌詞に好感が持てましたヽ(´▽`)/
(This is the same note from my Japanese cover.)
This is a new song by Japanese pop artist AI, which sets the melody from the American folk tune Turkey in the Straw to a "gospel" rhythm with upbeat lyrics. Apparently this melody is well-known in Japan due to Japanese students learning the Oklahoma Mixer line dance in school accompanied by this tune.

歌詞 / LYRICS
~♪~♪~♪~♪~♪~
I am no one special, I am not a hero
There’s a sky that’s higher than we’ll ever know
There are times when skies are gray
There are dark and windy days
When the sun’s shining on us, that’s a victory
When I look back, I know you’ll be there
When I look forward, my friends are there
As we run and we fall, on the ground we sprawl
But there’s always a new day waiting for us all
We worry too much, ‘til we forget
Then we worry what we are missing
Tomorrow, the next day, and the next, next day
There is always a brand new future on its way
