Tada hitori no za ni
Isase yo
Dare mo mina furiaogu
Choujou ni
Toki wa ware ni kaze o
Fukaseru ya
Akai hana o mune ni

Haka ni namida o soete dou naru?
Dare ga yorokobu?
Semete yume no
Kakera dake o
Towa no hokori ni sasagu
Atabana ni sasete
"Oh" naru mono ka yo
Ore wa katsu
Ikite iru kagiri
Kono inochi sasageyou
Hito kara wa shijirarenu
Kanashimi to mietemo
Shinda ato made mo
Hitamuki ni tsukusou
Tada hitori on o uketa
Kono hito no
