魔法の言葉 覚えてる 虹の始まったところ

あの時 世界の全てに 一瞬で色が付いた

転ばないように 気をつけて でも どこまでも行かなきゃ

日差しさえ 掴めそうな手が 酷く 冷たかったから

本当の声は いつだって 正しい道を照らしてる

なんだって 疑ってるから とても 強く 信じてる

心臓が動いてることの 吸って吐いてが続くことの

心がずっと 熱いことの 確かな理由を

雲の向こうの 銀河のように どっかで 無くした 切符のように

生まれる前の 歴史のように 君が持っているから

それだけ 分かってる (分かってる)

僕だけ 分かってる (分かってる)

鈍く残った 痛みとか しまってしまった 想いとか

滲んだって 消えないもので　 町はできている

魔法の言葉 覚えてる 虹の辿り着いたところ

転ばないように 気をつけて でも どこまでも行けるよ

なくしたくないものを 見つけたんだって 気づいたら

こんなに嬉しくなって こんなに怖くなるなんて

想像つかない 昨日を超えて その延長の 明日を抱えて

小さな肩 震える今 それでも笑った

迷路の奥の ダイヤのような 届かなかった 風船のような

気づけなかった 流星のような 涙を貰った

だから もう 忘れない

二度と もう 迷わない

心臓が 動いてることの 吸って吐いてが 続くことの

心がずっと 熱いことの 確かな理由が

砂漠の粒の ひとつだろうと 消えていく雨の ひとつだろうと

貰った 名も知らない 花のように 今 目の前にあるから

それだけ 分かってる (分かってる)

僕だけ 分かってる (分かってる)

だから もう 離れない (離れない)

二度と もう 迷わない (迷わない)

Mahou no kotoba oboeteru niji no hajimatta tokoro

Nido to mou mayowanai (mayowanai)

I remember those magic words: the name of the place where that rainbow began.

That's when my entire world was stained in color, in a single instant.

I try my best to not trip, but I have to keep moving forward;

Because that hand, seemingly able to grasp even the sun... was so cold.

My true voice is constantly showing me the proper path-

It's because it doubts everything that I trust so firmly in it.

The fact my heart is beating... the fact my breaths continue flowing in and out...

the fact my heart remains so warm... There's a reason for them all

Like a galaxy beyond the clouds... like a ticket that I lost somewhere...

like events that happened before I was born... You hold it in your hand

That's one thing I do know, I know it!

I'm the only one who knows, the only one!

Like a dull pain that remains, or memories locked away before their time,

This city is seething with things that never disappear, even if they appear to fade.

I remember those magic words: the name of the place that rainbow touched down.

I try my best to not trip, but I can go as far as I want!

Whenever I realize I've found something I don't want to lose,

I can't believe how happy I become... and how afraid...

Passing a fork in the road beyond my imagination, and embracing the tomorrow it leads to,

My small shoulders are trembling right now... but I'm not done yet!

Like a diamond at the end of a maze... like a balloon I couldn't reach...

Like a falling star I failed to notice... I received these tears.

So I'll never forget- I'll never forget!

I'll never lose my way again- never again!

The fact my heart is beating... the fact my breaths continue flowing in and out...

the fact my heart remains ever so warm... There's a definite reason for them all:

Whether it be a grain of sand amid the desert, or a single drop among the rain...

As if receiving a flower whose name I don't know, they're what's here before me in this moment.

That's one thing I do know, I know it!

I'm the only one who knows, I'm the only one!

So I'll never forget, I'll never forget!

I'll never lose my way again, never again!
