約束の空
EXILE TAKAHIRO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

茜色に染まった空が優しいとき
一人あなた想う
安心したあたたかなあの背中
眺めているようで...
人は悲しみさえ受け止めて
乗り越えたら
いつかはあなたのように
愛するものを守り包みこむ

そんな男になれるのかな?
あなたの笑顔も大きな手も
穏やかな声も
心の中にいてくれるどんなときも
見守っていてねたとえ遠く
離れていたって
同じ空を感じながら生きるよ

少しずつ沈みゆく夕日に黄昏れて
二人で話したね
いろんなこと
教えてくれるあなたが
自慢に思えたよ
きっと辛い時代も生き抜いて
今こうして僕らに語りかける
子どもながらに大切な言葉
胸に響いて誇らしくて
いつも座ってたお気に入りな
あの場所が今も
やわらかく光り
「おかえり」と迎えてくれる
きっといつまでも変わらないよ
見上げた空に
抱かれて力強く生きるよ

今は一歩ずつ夢叶って
支えてくれる家族や仲間たちは
かけがえのない素敵な存在
僕に与えてくれて...ありがとう
あなたの笑顔も大きな手も
穏やかな声も
心の中にいてくれるどんなときも
見守っていてねたとえ遠く
離れていたって

同じ空を感じながら生きるよ
約束した空へと
