The fact that I’m here right now, thinking of such things
May not be known, maybe not by anyone

The fact that I was there that day, thinking of those things
Might not be known too, except to myself
Who may not even realize it

Please don’t ask me why
This heart and voice is calling out
Not to something as obviously termed as “dreams”
But to something that can’t be seen or touched
But can be felt, here, through the body
I’ve come in search of that magical something

Passing through the commotion in the forest, finding a cave without an owner
The seasons change again, waiting for spring

The tiny city in which I was born in, seemed so huge back then
Why did I think that the story would never end?

Things which can’t be changed nor helped
Bring down my mood, but don’t worry
I’m not so weak as to resort to yearning, definitely
So even if this hand slips
It won’t be broken, it won’t break, our
Jewel will shine, I won’t forget that

Precious wishes should not be spoken of lightly
Because the act of putting them in words will change them
So let’s help them grow in secret

Please don’t ask me why
This heart and voice is calling out
Not to something as obviously termed as “dreams”
But to something that can’t be seen or touched
But can be felt, here, through the body
I’ve come in search of that magical something

Sonna koto kangaeteiru watashi ga ima koko ni iru koto wo
Shiranai moshikashite daremo mada

Anna koto kangaeteita watashi ga ano hi ita tte koto mo
Shiranai moshikashitara jibun dake ga
Kizuitenai no kamo

Doushite nante kikanaide ne
Kono mune ga kono koe ga yonderu no wa
“Yume” tte atarimae no namae ja nakute
Me ni wa mienai te ni wa torenai
Demo karadajuu de hora kanjirareru
Sonna fushigi na nanika wo sagashi ni kita

Mori no zawameki wo tadotte mitsuketa aruji no inai horaana
Kisetsu wa mata meguri haru wo matsu

Umareta ano chiisana machi wa ano koro anna ni ookikatta
Naze daro monogatari wa dokomademo tsuzuku to omotteta

Dou ni mo naranai koto bakari de
Ochi konde shimau kedo ki ni shinaide
Akogare wa omou hodo yawa ja nai kitto ne
Moshimo kono te suberasetemo
Kowasenai kowarenai watashitachi no
Houseki wa kagayaku koto wasurenai yo

Daiji na negai wa tayasuku kuchi ni shicha dame sa
Kotoba ni shita totan ni katachi wo kaete shimau kara
Kossori sodateyou yo

Doushite nante kikanaide ne
Kono mune ga kono koe ga yonderu no wa
“Yume” tte atarimae no namae ja nakute
Me ni wa mienai te ni wa torenai
Demo karadajuu de hora kanjirareru
Sonna fushigi na nanika wo sagashi ni kita

KANJI

そんなこと考えている私が今ここにいることを
知らない　もしかして　誰もまだ

あんなこと考えていた私があの日いたってことも
知らない　もしかしたら　自分だけが
気づいてないのかも

どうしてなんて　聞かないでね
この胸が　この声が　呼んでるのは
「夢」って当たり前の名前じゃなくて
目には見えない　手には取れない
でも体中でほら　感じられる
そんな不思議な何かを　探しに来た

森のざわめきを辿って　見つけた主のいない洞穴
季節はまためぐり春を待つ

生まれたあの小さな街は　あの頃あんなに大きかった
なぜだろ　物語はどこまでも続くと思ってた

どうにもならないことばかりで
落ち込んでしまうけど　気にしないで
憧れは思うほどヤワじゃない　きっとね
もしもこの手滑らせても
壊せない　壊れない　私たちの
宝石は輝くこと　忘れないよ

大事な願いは　たやすく口にしちゃダメさ
言葉にした途端に　かたちを変えてしまうから
こっそり　育てようよ

どうしてなんて聞かないでね
この胸が　この声が　呼んでるのは
「夢」って当たリ前の名前じゃなくて
目には見えない　手には取れない
でも体中でほら感じられる
そんな不思議な何かを　探しに来た
