桜咲く頃様々な場所で
それぞれの新しい心たちが出会う
希望と不安が同時にくるけど
決して惑わされずに
前を向いて行こう
君の可能性は無限大だよ
だからこれからに全てをかけよう
未知の道を歩いて行くんだろう

その為に広い心を持とう
人はひとりじゃ生きられないから
その為に愛をもっと知ろう
これからの君を
支えてくれるような
信じられる友情を作ってゆくんだ
決して簡単なことじゃないけど
素直な気持ちだけ大切にしよう
未知の道を歩いて行くんだろう
その為に強く勇気を持とう
人はひとりじゃ生きられないから
その為に愛をもっと知ろう
未知の道を歩いて行くんだろう
その為に広い心を持とう
人はひとりじゃ生きられないから
