Furueta saigo no moji wo iroaseta hibi ni hana wo sakasu
Ibuki no yume no kakeratachi wa kowareta ashita no maboroshi
Tsutaetai kotoba dake ga kono kobushi no naka koboreochite
Yagate mebuita sono inochi wa tashika ni umareru no deshou

“Akiramenai de” “wasuresasetari shinai de”
Mada asai asa nemuru machi wa ima shirashira to ukabu hikari kara mezamete

Yume wa tada tashika ni mada koko ni aru katachi no nai omoi wo nose
Ashita bokura ga yuku basho ga aru no kageri no nai michi no saki ni
Itsuka kimi ga kureta kotoba kumori no nai ai no kotoba kumori no nai ai no kotoba

“Kawaranai” to shinjiteta sono sekai wa aru hi kawatte ite
Hanzen to shinai kono “ima” ni tamerai tomadoi mo suru

“Koko ni isasete” “shiranu basho he ikanai de”
Mada tooi yoru kimi wo kanjitara nukumori ga mune ni shimikonde hirogaru

Machi ga tada shizuka ni iro wo kaete mo wadachi wo mata nokoshite ikou
“Kimi” ga “boku” ga koko ni iru to iu koto tsutawaru kodou sono hasama ni
Itsumo soko ni inochi ga aru kakegae nai ai no akashi kakegaenai ai no akashi

Yume wa ima tashika ni mata ugokidasu higeki no saki inori wo kome

Yume ga tada tashika ni mada koko ni aru katachi no nai omoi wo nose
Ashita bokura ga yuku basho ga aru no kageri no nai michi no saki ni
Itsuka kimi ga kureta kotoba kumori no nai ai no kotoba kumori no nai ai no kotoba
