見上げた この青空の色が眩しすぎて 忘れかけた大事なものさえ 僕らに気づかせてくれたね 目前に広がる世界は 小さな出来事 ひとつで 変わってゆくから・・・ 吹き抜ける風を受けて あの空の向こうへ やわらかな風が今日も 僕らをすりぬけて 夢の続きがあるなら 迷わずに飛び出そう 両手を空にかざして 心のドアを開けて 明日を見つめて歩いてゆこう

見上げたこの青空の色が眩しすぎて 忘れかけた大事なものさえ 僕らに気づかせてくれたね 目の前に広がる世界は小さな出来事 一つで変わってゆくから 吹き抜ける風を受けて あの空の向こうへ 柔らかな風が今日も僕らをすり抜けて かけがえのない瞬間を生きている いつでも戸惑い迷う時はキミがいたね うつむいてたままの日々じゃ 何も始まらないんだ 透き通るこの空の下で 悲しみを優しさに変えてく強さ覚えた 夢の続きがあるなら 迷わずに飛び出そう 両手を空にかざして心のドアあけて 明日をみつめて歩いてゆこう 吹き抜ける風を受けて あの空の向こうへ 柔らかな風が今日も僕らをすり抜けて かけがえのない瞬間を生きている
