毎日陽が沈むまで 泥まみれになりながら 	Mainichi hi ga shizumu made doro mamire ni nari nagara	Every day until the sun set, we got ourselves dirty with mud 			
無邪気に過ごした日々も捨て難いけれど 	Mujaki ni sugoshita hibi mo sutegatai keredo 	Those days that we spent so innocently are also hard to throw away, but			
夢見る僕が居てもそれはそれで僕だから 	Yumemiru boku ga ite mo sore wa sore de boku dakara 	I'm a dreamer, and that's just how I am, so 			
ジグソーパズルみたいにはまってなくて良い 	Jigusoo pazuru mitai ni hamatte nakute ii 	It's alright if you don't fit in like a jigsaw puzzle 			
==Funimation lyrics==
We had a dream that day
Our belief in ourselves
makes us able to cross the wildly surging ocean
You're braver and more caring than anyone else
If you ever depart this ship and live in a different world
In the end, we can all surely smile
~ Goodbye Merry. ~
