Lyrics
Kanji= 白く途切れた夢の切れ端をつかまえて　少年は走る 手を放したらどこまでも遠く風の音に消えてゆく

ひとつだけの思いを飛ばして

まぶたの裏に描きはじめた絵は霞んで　手のひらでこすっても いつか見えた優しさはもうない ひとり踏み出す足だけ見てる

朝には消えたあの歌声をいつまでも聞いてた

野道の先で赤く生るほうずきせがんで　子供がはしゃいでる いつか知った優しさの中にも 同じ風景　あるならいいね

朝には消えたあの歌声をいつまでも聞いてた 僕らが残したあの足跡をいつまでも追ってた

朝には消えたあの歌声をいつまでもいつまでも 僕らが残したあの足跡をどこまでも追ってた そう終わりは別れとあるものだから　すべて置いてゆく 朝には日差しの中　新しい歌、口ずさんでる Rōmaji= Shiroku togireta yume no kirehashi wo tsukamaete Shounen wa hashiru Te wo hanashitara dokomademo tooku kaze no ne ni kieteyuku

Hitotsudake no Omoi wo tobashite

Mabuta no ura ni egaki hajimeta e wa kasunde Tenohira de kosuttemo Itsuka mieta yasashisa wa mou nai Hitori fumidasu ashidake miteru Asa ni wa kieta ano utagoe wo itsumademo kiiteta

Nomichi no saki de akaku naru houzuki segande kodomo ga hashaideru Itsuka shitta yasashisa no naka ni mo Onaji fuukei Arunara ii ne

Asa ni wa kieta ano utagoe wo itsumademo kiiteta Bokura ga nokoshita ano ashiato wo itsumademo otteta

Asa ni wa kieta ano utagoe wo itsumademo itsumademo Bokura ga nokoshita ano ashiato wo dokomademo otteta Sou owari wa wakare to aru mono dakara Subete oiteyuku Asa ni wa hizashi no naka Atarashii uta,  Kuchizusanderu

English= The boy run, catching a white shard of his dream If he lets go, It will vanish into the sound of the wind in the distance.

one single memory floating away…

The picture painted on the insides of my eyelids grows hazy Even if He rub them with my palms The kindness that he once now is gone He step forward alone, looking only at His feet.

He listened forever to the singing voice that disappeared when morning came

Ahead on the path through the field, a child is frolicking snatching at the red Hoozuki plants It would be nice if the scenery were the same The kindness that i once now is gone

He listened forever to the singing voice that disappeared when morning came We chased forever those footprints that we left

He listened to the singing voice that disappeared when morning came forever and ever We chased forever those footprints that we left Yes, because endings come with farewells, and so He leaving everything behind in the sunlight of morning, He sing a new song to myself.
