[Verse 1]
君の名前を忘れそう
あれほど一緒にいたのに
君の顔が霞んでいる
あれほど見つめていたのに
君と描いた未来図を
記憶の壁に飾っている
迷子の君が帰ってこれるように
今夜も心を灯している

[Chorus]
叶える前にはぐれた夢は
どこへゆくのどこへゆくのだろう
取り戻すため名前を呼んで
思い出してI have a dream

[Verse 2]
主を探して歩く夢は
君と瓜二つ
うまれた場所は恐れない心
故郷は思うほど遠くない

[Chorus]
まだ満たされない約束たちは
どこにいるのどこにいるのだろう
忘れる前に名前を呼んで思い出して
だ叶える前にはぐれた夢は
どこへゆくのどこへゆくのだろう
聞こえるように名前を呼んで
声に出してI have a dream

[Bridge]
I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream
Oh, no

[Outro]
声に出して名前を呼んで思い出して
I have a dream
声に出して名前を呼んで思い出して
I have a dream
声に出して名前を呼んで思い出して
I have a dream
声に出して名前を呼んで思い出して
I have a dream
声に出して名前を呼んで思い出して
I have a dream
