MACHICO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

雨上がり少年は水たまりジャンプして
ぬれた足気にもせず走っていく
ねえ思い出はいつだってキラキラリ万華鏡
覗くたび愛おしく輝くよ

裸足のままでどこまでもゆけよチリチリ燃えるその魂
明日の種はハレルヤハレルヤきっとこの手の中

Do You Believe In Magic？一粒だけ勇気の魔法
Do You Believe In Magic？いざゆけ我らよ地球の上

朝焼けが眩しくて目を閉じた月曜日
動き出す街の中僕はどこ？

あなたも今は大人の顔して
この空の下頑張ってますか
いつかの夢もハレルヤハレルヤきっと巡り合うさ

Do You Believe In Magic？一人だけど一人じゃない(物語)
Do You Believe In Magic？いざゆけ我らよまだ見ぬ日へ！

Do You Believe In Magic？一粒だけ勇気の魔法(ください)

Do You Believe In Magic？いざゆけ我らよ Do You Believe In Magic？
地球の上！ Do You Believe In Magic？
