Don'na kibou wo utaeba iindarou
Dareka ga kyou mo naite iru no ni
Tsunagaru koto mo nai mama umarete wa kieta
Yasashii koe wo hiroi atsumete

Sayonara no mukou ni hi ga noboru
Kokoro wo tomosu ai no uta

Ikite yuku koto no kanashimi o
Hitori de koe rarenakute daremo ga tachidomaru
Omoi ga kasanaru sono hi made
Anata ni kotoba o boku wa tsutaetai yo

Aoi dake no sora ga tsurai yo
Ano hi no koto ga nakatta mitaide
Mabuta o tojite mo mou nani mo kikoenai

Kawari yuku koto sae ukeirete
Kokoro ni kizamu ai no uta

Dareka to tomoni ikiru koto wa
Shinjite kizutsuite mata sono-te wo nigiru koto

Itsuka mata anata no moto ni hohoemi ga modoru hi made
Boku wa nando mo inochi wo yurashi asu wo utau yo

Anata o aishi ikite yuku yo
Kokoro wa furueru ima mo tomoni soba ni aru yo
Kibou ga umareru asu ga aru
Anata ni kotoba o boku wa tsutaetai yo
