na mo naki kono bashou de hiraita shoudou no hana
shizukana hajimari wo tsukeru
osanaki akogare ga tashikana netsu wo motomete
kono sora ni signal wo hanatsu yo
kurikaeshite iku hibi wo sei ni habataku shunkan wo sagashiteru
kodoku na negai da to shite mo

*mada minu sekai he genkai wo koete yukitai
karadajuu de kono yume ga afuredasu mama
atarashii jidai wo utsusu azayaka na asahi no you ni

tsuyoi kagayaki de saita omoi wo mune ni

ashita ni okubyou na mezameta yume no tsuzuki mo
kowaseba mata sora ni kaeru kedo
hitotsu no shinjitsu to mukiau kimochi ga ima mo
kaze ni mau tame iki wo uchikesu yo

machichuu ni hibikiwataru tokimeku shunkan wo kanjite ha
fukaku kizami komu melody

mabushii mirai ni koudou ha kasokudo wo agete
tashi kirenai sabishisamo furikireru nara
arukidasu sono saki wo kanousei to tomoni ikiyou
tatoe namida de niji n da esoragoto demo

tsuyoi kagayaki de saita mirai wo mitai
