ゆっくりと流れてゆく雲のように
のんびり行こうここから先は

両手を高く振って歩こう背筋伸ばして
心の視線上を向いたら世界が変わった

まあるい日差しの向こう
やさしい風が運んでくる

Be proud of who you are

いつだって思ってるよ元気でいて
昨日の涙知っているから
悲しみを忘れずに胸に抱き乗り越えよう
果てない道歩いていく笑顔で

大丈夫だよなんとかなるさ人生なんて
もう駄目だよと思った瞬間が本当の始まり

まあるい星の裏側
新しい朝生まれている
Here you're friend, sunny day

離れても思ってるよ元気でいて
また会える日は遠くないから
とびきりの思い出を胸に抱きまっすぐに
この1歩を踏みしめようここから

まあるい日差しの向こう
やさしい風が運んでくる
Be proud of who you are

いつだって思ってるよ元気でいて
昨日の涙知っているから
悲しみを忘れずに胸に抱き乗り越えよう

果てない道歩いてゆく
明日からは笑顔で
