悲しみもいつかは思い出にきっと変えていけるよ
Looking up the endless sky
Searching for reasons of life
We find the Promised Land きっと...
ふたりの横顔 かすめて 季節が行く
言おうとしたこと 結局 聞けずにいた
君が抱いてる その願いを 僕は知っている
歩き出す 僕らは何度でも 夢が眠るあの場所へ
一歩でもあきらめないのなら きっと辿り着けるはず
探してる 僕らはいつだって 夢が眠るあの場所を
悲しみもいつかは思い出にきっと変えていけるよ
Looking up the endless sky
Searching for answers of dream
You find the Promised Land きっと...
永遠みたいに 明けない夜の中で
ぼんやりしたまま なんだか 眠れずいた
優しさはいつでも 君の強さだった
だから寂しさに きっと僕も 負けないでいるよ
いつの日か 僕らはもう一度 君が笑うあの場所で
この気持ち なくさずいるのなら きっとそこに行けるはず
探してる 僕らはいつだって ふたり笑うあの場所を
痛みさえ必ず癒えていく 何ももう恐れない
歩き出す 僕らは何度でも 夢が眠るあの場所へ
一歩でもあきらめないのなら きっと辿り着けるはず
探してる 僕らはいつだって 夢が眠るあの場所を
悲しみもいつかは思い出にきっと変えていけるよ
