=== Rōmaji ===
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
Dare ni mo akerarenai tobira o akeru to iwarete iru
Demo kagi wa sagasa nai ze jibun dake no yarigata o sagashite
Kokoro no kusari o toki hanatsu no osorete wa ikenai yo
Doramachiku na monogatari o koe chimau kurai no dekigoto ga 
Kimi o matteru no sa uso janai yo
Kyou dake wa dare mo
Kimi ni oitsuke ya shinai no sa kimi o tomerareya shinai no sa
Mirai wa itsumo mieteru hazu ikai na toko de deaeru hazu
Ai ga hashiri dasu hajimatte iku takamatte iku
Mirai wa kimi o mitsumeru hazu hikari wa koko de deaeru hazu
Aizu no beru ga naru masa ni ima boku o yonde irun da yo
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
=== Kanji ===
誰にも開けられない扉を　開けろと言われている
でもカギは探さないぜ　自分だけのやり方を探して
心のクサリを解き放つのを　おそれてはいけないよ
ドラマチックな物語を　超えちまうくらいの出来事が
キミを待っているのさ　ウソじゃないよ
今日だけは誰も
キミに追いつけやしないのさ　キミを止められやしないのさ
未来はいつも見えてるはず　意外なトコで出会えるはず
愛が走り出す　はじまっていく　たかまっていく
未来はキミを見つめるはず　先はここで出会えるはず
合図のべるが鳴る　まさに今　僕を呼んでいるんだよ
=== Rōmaji (Full Version) ===
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
Dare ni mo akerarenai tobira o akeru to iwarete iru

Aizu no beru ga naru masa ni ima boku o yonde irun da yo
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
Dareka o otoshhi iratemo kimi wa warai to iwarete iru
Sonna wara ni wa kakaranai ze tadoritsuku beki utsukushii hibi na
Kimi o sagashite mo uso janai yo
Kyou kara wa dare mo
Kimi ni oitsuke ya shinai no sa kimi o tomerareya shinai no sa
Mirai no ima o terashite kure tsuyoi kimochi o boku ni okure
Ai ga hashiridasu hajimatte iku takamatte iku
Mirai na kimi o michibiku nara itami no kako wa ima owaru sa
Aizu no beru ga naru kokoro de hikari takatte irun dayo
Mirai o misete kudasai hikari bakari abittai
Ore mune ippai no kitai muku aretai no ni
Monnashi kurai tsurai tamashi ai
Itai kurai fugainai moya dayo korin zai
Kitto hata baka no kanashi asa
Tonda warai kusa demo moya wa maji nanda
Nari hibike ai soko ni kakete mitai
Kimi o dake shimetai sou sa mirai mirai
Noroi yo toki niku ta
Noroi yo toki niku ta
Noroi yo toki niku ta
Noroi yo toki niku ta!
Mirai wa itsumo mieteru hazu ikai na toko de deaeru hazu
Ai ga hashiri dasu hajimatte iku takamatte iku
Mirai wa kimi o mitsumeru hazu hikari wa koko de deaeru hazu
Aizu no beru ga naru mirai ga ai ga hashiridasu
Hajimatte iku takamatte ikunda yo
