minare ta machi o se ni
jikan totomoni hanareru
hontōwa kowakatta
ano hi to wakare sō de
anata wa ōkina koe de
‘ganbare' to kotoba de osu
sono koe wa furue te i te
naiteru to sugu ni wakatta
boku no kage o tōrinuke ta kaze o sagashi

namida afureru kara
senaka de arukidashi te
chīsaku te o
futte i ta
kodomo ni modoreru nara
kono kimochi nage tai

hitotsu mae wa heiki datta
ima no hari ni sasare te itamu

shasō ni utsuru keshiki wa
sore made to chigau kao de iru
boku no me ni wa sono subete ga
itoshiku te tōku mieru
sukoshi zutsu boku no machi wa kokyō ni naru
boku no kage o tōrinuke ta kaze ga atarashii

itami ga afuredashi te
nijimidasuhare ta oto
shintai chū ga hagare te ku
itsuka wa kieteru daro
u demo hanashi taku nai

wakare no saigo no hi ni
tōsan wa ‘mata na' to itta
sō ie ba arigatō tte
tsutaeru no wasure te i ta

mata namida afuredashi te
osae ta hazu no koe ga
omoideto gawa o miteru
otona no uso kari te mo
kotae wa kawara nai

dare mo ga hito o se ni
arukidasu atatakai ego
anata demo te sagutta hibi
soko ni tatte te o tsunage ta
