好きキライ行くやめる
また迷うこのキモチ
素直になって待つ
自由になる瞬間
風が吹きすさぶの
でも平気
ときどき進めないもがくけど
なにか立ちはだかるけど

私を試すけど
幸せはどこにでも待ってる
どこへでも行ける私
この道その先へ

月星夜の闇
惑わせるこのキモチ
素直になれなくて
恋しくてさみしくて
風が吹きすさぶの
でも平気
あやまちをずっと気にしてた
君の優しさにごめん
ありがとうのキモチ
胸の奥にぽっと灯るよ
君がくれるぬくもり
愛してるよいつでも
昨日と今日は別の日だもの
ちょっとだけど違うんだもの
くり返す営み
涙ぐんだり笑いあったり
戦いもやすらぎも
すべてはまだ途中
歴史は今日も続く続く
くり返される営み
朝が来るよキラキラ
幸せはどこにでも待ってる

どこへでも行ける私
息づいてるキラキラ
