花屋の店先に並んだ
いろんな花を見ていた
ひとそれぞれ好みはあるけど
どれもみんなきれいだね
この中で誰が一番だなんて
争うこともしないで
バケツの中誇らしげに
しゃんと胸を張っている
それなのに僕ら人間は
どうしてこうも比べたがる?
一人一人違うのにその中で
一番になりたがる?
そうさ 僕らは
世界に一つだけの花
一人一人違う種を持つ
その花を咲かせることだけに
一生懸命になればいい
困ったように笑いながら
ずっと迷ってる人がいる
頑張って咲いた花はどれも
きれいだから仕方ないね
やっと店から出てきた
その人が抱えていた
色とりどりの花束と
うれしそうな横顔
名前も知らなかったけれど
あの日僕に笑顔をくれた
誰も気づかないような場所で
咲いてた花のように
そうさ 僕らも
世界に一つだけの花
一人一人違う種を持つ
その花を咲かせることだけに
一生懸命になればいい
小さい花や大きな花
一つとして同じものはないから
NO.1にならなくてもいい
もともと特別なOnly one
[Romanization]

I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flowershop.
Lined up in front of the flowershop.
Everyone has their favorite kinds
They are all beautiful
Never fighting each other
Over who's the best
They were standing straight up
Proudly inside the bucket.
So why then do we humans
Have to compare ourselves to one another?
Eventhough each and every person is different
Why do we want to be number one?
Yes we are each..
A flower unlike any other in the world
And each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on
Trying to make that flower bloom.
There are people who are constantly unsure of what they want
As they laugh a little put out.
It can’t be helped, all those flowers
That did everything they could to bloom, are pretty.
When at last that person comes out of the store
They’re holding
A colorful bouquet
And I see them smiling happilly as they go by me.
I never knew their name but
That day they made me smile.
We too are like flowers that bloom
In places where no one pays any attention.
Yes we too are each…
A flower unlike any other in the world
And each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on
Trying to make that flower bloom.
Small flowers and big flowers
None are the same as one another.
There’s no need to be No. 1
You’ve always been a very special only one.
