Hitosuji no namida ga koboreta akari no kieta gaitou to
Tachidomaru atashi no kageboushi hanarenaide to ima inoru
Anata ga kureta shiawase wa ano yuuhi no mukou ni kiete
Sewashinaku nagareteku kumo atashi ni mukatte te wo nigitta

Ari no mama ni egaku yume
Omou mama ni kono te de katachi ni dekireba naa

Furishibotta koe ga anata ni itsuka kitto todoku nara...
Sonna koto kangaeru
Ima tomatta toki wo koetara
Sara ni ippo fumidashite atashi ima tori ni naru

Fuyu no otozure wo tsugeta no wa setsunasa ni somatta ryoufuu
Ussura to kieteku kageboushi soba ni ite to negatta no ni na

Ano hi fureta anata no te motto tsuyoku nigirikaeshite hoshikatta naa

Waraiatta koe wa tashika ni ano hi kitto kikoeta yo
Mou ichido...nante hora...
Mata urunda hitomi nugutte miagetan da sou shitara manten no hoshi ga aru

Magirekonda yami wo nuketara harewatatta asa ga kuru
Itsu no hi ka mata aeru
Sumiwatatta asa no hikari ga afuredashita sono saki wo atashi mata arukidasu

Furishibotta koe ga anata ni itsuka kitto todoku nara...
Sonna koto kangaeru
Ima tomatta toki wo koetara
Sara ni ippo fumidashite atashi ima tori ni naru
