Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
それって素敵な事ね きっと人生
宝物なんだ
愛する人の笑顔が見たくて
からまって勘違いで頑張って
単純な生き物
出会えた事 山も谷も
普通の日々ありがとう
生きていけるように
日が暮れて朝になって
空があって月が出て

愛する人に愛されてるかな
Ah 愛してるのに愛されてるかな
不安な動物
わがままでごめんなさい
許してくれてありがとう
君の幸せのお手伝いを

春を待って夏がきて
秋が去って冬になって
季節が一つ巡るたびに
重なるハーモニー乗せて
誰の為の命だ
人と人の間に生まれて
人はきっとみんな人間になるんだ
そうだろう 繋がっているから
出会えた事 全ての日々
