Lyrics:
君がくれたもの
Kimi ga kurata mono
the gift you gave to me


君がくれたもの　
Kimi ga kureta mono
the gift you gave to me


『気がつけば　僕たち　明日を見失って
Ki ga tsukeba bokutachi asu wo miushinatte
if we notice, we have lost sight of tomorrow

何か大切な物を　今は　忘れてる
Nanika taisetsu na mono wo ima wa wasureteru
and have now forgotten something precious


あの長い坂道　夕焼けに染まって
Ano nagai sakamichi yuuyake ni somatte
that long uphill road was dyed in the sunset

ふざけあいながら二人　語りあっていたね
Fuzakeai nagara futari katariatte ita ne
and as we played around the two of us had talked.


今　悲しみと苦しみを上手くかわしてる
Ima kanashimi to kurushimi wo umaku kawashiteru
now, we've skillfully dodged both sadness and pain

今　うれしさとやさしさにふるえてる
Ima ureshisa to yasashisa ni furueteru
and we're trembling in happiness and kindness


君がくれたもの　信じることの勇気
Kimi ga kureta mono, shinjiru koto no yuuki
the gift you gave to me was the courage to believe

変わらない気持ち　いつも胸に刻んだ
Kawaranai kimochi itsumo mune ni kizanda
unchanging feelings will always be etched in my heart

君がくれたもの　あたたかくてやさしい
Kimi ga kureta mono, atatakakute yasashii
that which you gave to me was both warm and gentle

僕の未来に　輝き続けてるから
Boku no mirai ni kagayaki tsuzukete iru kara
because it continues to sparkle in my future


大人に近づいて僕は　夢をしまい込んで
Otona ni chikazuite boku wa yume wo shimaikonde
nearing adulthood, I put aside my dreams

街の渦に飛び込んだ　明日を見失った
Machi no uzu ni tobikonda asu wo miushinatta
and leapt into the whirlpool of the streets; losing sight of tomorrow


何度も立ち止まり　かすかに見えてきた
Nando mo tachidomari, kasuka ni miete kita
many times we have stopped able to see it only faintly

細く　長い　この道を 走り続けてる
Hosoku nagai kono michi wo hashiri tsuzuketeru
and continuing to run along this long, narrow path


僕の心のドアを　静かに開けてみると
Boku no kokoro no DOA wo shizuka ni akete miru to
as the door of my heart quietly opens

幼い頃出会った　夢のカケラ
Osanai koro deatta yume no kakera
I stumble upon the pieces of dreams of when I was young

僕が両手でそっと　カケラを拾い上げて
Boku ga ryoute de sotto kakera wo hiroi agete
with both hands, I softly raise them up

もう一度信じると　夜空見上げ・・・』
Mouichido shinjiru to yozora miage
while looking upwards at the night sky I will once again believe


君がくれたもの　信じることの勇気
Kimi ga kureta mono, shinjiru koto no yuuki
that which you gave to me was the courage to believe

変わらない気持ち　いつも胸に刻んで
Kawaranai kimochi itsumo mune ni kizanda
unchanging feelings will always be etched in my heart

君がくれたもの　あたたかくてやさしい
Kimi ga kureta mono, atatakakute yasashii
that which you gave to me was both warm and gentle

僕の未来に　輝き続けてるから
Boku no mirai ni kagayaki tsuzukete iru kara
because it continues to sparkle in my future


大人に近づいて僕は　夢をしまい込んで
Otona ni chikazuite boku wa yume wo shimaikonde
as I strayed farther from my younger days, I've put away my dreams

街の渦に飛び込んだ　明日を見失った
Machi no uzu ni tobikonda asu wo miushinatta
and leapt into the whirlwind of the streets; losing sight of tomorrow


それは小さな時　確かに見えていた
Sore wa chiisa na toki tashika ni miete ita
when I was small I was surely able to see it

目を閉じれば すぐ側にあると信じていた…
Me wo tojireba sugu soba ni aru to shinjite ita...
I believed that if I closed my eyes it would be somewhere close by.
