Ano hi kimi ga kureta sono kotoba ga itsu no hi demo boku wo sasaete ite
Sarigenaku tewofuru sono senaka wo mou sukoshi dake mite itai to omotta

Furusato ni saku hazu no awai hana nazedarou sono hana no nioi ga shita
Tashikana koto nado nani mo naikara futashikana ashita wo shinjite miru yo

Sou tooku kikoeta no wa kawaranai merodii itsu demo

Kotoba ni dekinai hodo no tsuyoi ai ga boku no mune no uchi wo kakenukete ku
Doushite nande kowakute me wo somuketa naitatte iinda yo sore mo bokura nanda yo
Aisuru mono wo mamoritakute kurayami wo hitasura ni kakete yuku
Wasurenaide boku ga mada koko ni iru nukumori no naka ni mitsuketa `arigatou'

Ano machi wo dete yuku to kimeta no wa kazaranai yasashi-sa no kimi no kotoba
Tooku hanarete tsumabiita hibi ni ichimatsu no kibou wo kasanete miru yo

Sou tsuyoku shinjita no wa atatakai mirai imademo

Kokoro ni kakaeta kodoku ya munashi-sa to dare mo egao no ura tatakatteru
Soushite nai to kowarete shimai-soude tsuyokunakute iinda yo sore ga bokura nanda yo
Aisuru imi wo mata motomete kimi no sono omokage ni furete miru
Wasurenai yo bokuranara arukeru yo kono hibi no naka ni kotae wa arudarou

Kotoba ni dekinai hodo no tsuyoi ai ga boku no mune no uchi wo kakenukete ku

Doushite nande kowakute me wo somuketa naitatte iinda yo sore mo bokura nanda yo
Aisuru mono wo mamoritakute kurayami wo hitasura ni kakete yuku
Wasurenaide boku ga mada koko ni iru nukumori no naka ni mitsuketa `arigatou'
Mitsuketa `arigatou'
