Kagayaita sono hibi no naka de bokura wa nani wo mitsuketan darou
Ukande yuku keshiki no naka ni anata wo mitsuketan da yo
Sazameita sono waraigoe ga zattou no naka wo kakenukete yuku
Furidashita ame ashi ni sekasarenagara aruku

Try! Isshun ni shite mou fly!! Tobikoechatte
Tesaguri de tsukamu no wa ano hi kimeta yume

Itsu datte saikou no kanjou wo egaite mita
Bokura souyatte junsui ni yume wo mita
Hate shinaku hirogaru kono sora no shita
Bokura wa sono kotae wo mitsukemashita
Taisetsu na sonzai ni kizuitan nara
Hito wa itsu datte sora wo habataken da yo
Tsutaetai kotobatachi ni takusun da yo
Bokura no shinjiru michi hiraku tame ni

Nakidashita sora ni sashikonda hikari wo shinjiru koto ni shitan da
Obieteru hima ga aru kurai nara hajimeta hou ga ii
Toozakaru amagumo ni kisu wo hikari de michita sekai ni ai wo
Tsutsumarete ita fuan no kage wa yagate hareru

“Mirai” bokura ga sou yonda sekai tobikonjatte
Ate mo naku akogareta ima me no mae no suteeji

Kyou datte hontou no bouken ni deaimashita
Bokura douyatte norikoete yukun darou
Itsu ni naku kagayaita anata ga iru
Hitori ja nai to shitta tsuyosa ga aru
Yuukan na sonzai ni kizuita kara
Bokura itsu datte koko de arukerun da yo
Tsutaetai kotobatachi wo mamorun da yo
Utaitai uta wo ima utau tame ni

Eien no kanjou ni deaerun da yo
Bokura itsu datte mezasu basho ga an da yo
Kowarenai “ima” wo mata fumidasun da yo
Sou shite bokura wa mada yuku

Itsu datte saikou no kanjou wo egaite mita
Bokura souyatte junsui ni yume wo mita
Hate shinaku hirogaru kono sora no shita
Bokura wa sono kotae wo mitsukemashita
Taisetsu na sonzai ni kizuitan nara
Hito wa itsu datte sora wo habataken da yo
Tsutaetai kotobatachi ni takusun da yo
Bokura no shinjiru michi hiraku tame ni
