Nakija kuru kodomo no youni
Tatoe asu ga mienaku natte mo mamoru yo
Natsu no sora mi agete niranda
Tsuyogatte bakari de namida wa misenai
Hontou wa kowai kuseni
Taisetsu na mono wo ushina wa nu youni
Itsu datte nagai yoru o futari de norikoeta
Kono mama issho ni irukara tsuyogatenaide iindayo
Kimi wa ima namida nagashita
Nakija kuru kodomo no youni
Tatoe asu ga mienaku natte mo susumu yo
Natsu no sora miagete sakenda
Dare ka ga tsubuyaita kotoba no wana ni
Odoru you� ni madowasa rete
Taisetsuna mono wa kokoro no naka ni
Wakatteta kiminanoni
Shinjiru koto ga kowa kute namida o wasure teta
Kaze ga senaka o oshita futarinara kitto yukeru yo
Kimi no te wo tsuyoku nigitta mujakinaru kodomo no you� ni
Tatoe toki ga ima wa ubatte mo susumu yo
Natsu no sora mi zashite hashitta
Natsu no sora mi zashite hashitta
Konnanimo hiroi sekai de
Itou ni natte yuku nodarou
Afure sou�na omoi uketomete ageru yo
Kimi wa ima namida nagashita
Nakijakuru kodomo no you� ni
Tatoe asu ga mienaku natte mo mamoru yo
Natsu no sora miagete sakenda
Natsu no sora miagete niranda
