「大きくなったらわかるわよ」
そう言って最後の一口 呷る姿に憧れて
ジュースを一気に飲み干した
大人のひみつは何やら奥深い
空に立ち上る大きな溜息
小さい頃はいつだって
羽がなくても空を飛べた
ステキな魔法だった
未来の色は虹の色
「あんまりいいもんぢゃないわよ」
腫れた顔で胃薬探す 気怠い朝に憧れて
無口なフリしてみたけど
大人のひみつはやっぱり格別
その遠い目には何が見えているの？
ある日突然気が付いた
羽もないのに飛べるわけない
そして煙草に火を付けた
未来に色なんてなかった
大きくなったらわかったよ
大きくなってもわからない
ものがたくさんあるんだね
知りたいから生きるんだね
大人のひけつは「あきらめる」ことだ
そう思っていた灰色の日々に
さよならをあげる代わりに
どこまでも抱いてってあげる
もう一度空を飛びたい
未来の色はあたしのもの
未来の色は君のもの
