## Lyrics

### Kanji

友達と喧嘩しても　仲直りできるよ！

大丈夫　心配ないんだよ　楽園だからね！

お母さんはすぐに怒るけど 　でも本当は優しいよ！

いつだって　そばにいてくれるよ　楽園だからね！

踏まれた花が　散らない世界で…

怖い怪物がきても　でもここでは平気だよ！

頑丈な　壁があるんだよ　楽園だからね！

外の世界の本があっても　でも知らなくていいんだよ！

いつまでも　ここにいればいいよ　楽園だからね！

地に堕ちた鳥が　羽撃く世界へ…

少年は何を知って　少女は何を知らなかったか

少年は何を望み　少女は何を諦めたか

いつか見た夕陽に　染まるその世界

優しく包まれて　すべて　輝いて見えた

いつか見た夕陽が沈む前に　悲しみの　果てに咲く　綺麗な花々を

嗚呼… 楽園はどこにある？　ただ広い世界で

苦しみの波　揺蕩う

小さな国の中　小さな壁の中　小さな祈りの中に

嗚呼… 束の間の楽園を　仮初めの楽園を

残酷な優しい 《夢》(嘘)

黄昏の理想に　宵闇の誓いに　暁への花束を

もし　その壁の中が

一軒の家だとしても…

*The setting sun we once saw, dyeing that world.*

*How bright everything looked as the world got gently shrouded away.*

*Aah... Just a momentary paradise, a transient paradise is all we want.*

*Be that it may be a a cruel yet gentle《dream》(lie).*

*For our ideals at twilight, for our vow at dusk, and the flower bouquet given to the morning break.*

*Even if the insides of these walls*

*were to be just one house......*
