Hiza wo kakae BENCHI ni motare

Itsumo hitori dake de POTSUN to

Me to me ga au to tereta you ni

Tooi keshiki ni nigedashiteta ne

Little boy anata no hitomi ga mitsumete iru

Karappo de kanashii otonatachi

Yume mo hokori mo nakushite shimau

Furimuki asu wo matsu Their life is a lie

* Little boy anata wa kitto itsuka tabidatsu

Yogorenai kokoro no mama

Hokori ni mamireta hosoi teashi no

Little boy sono hi wo sotto matte itai

Toki no nagare no naka de tatakau

Little boy anata no hitomi ga mitsumete iru

Saki ni wa kagayaku asu God grows a shining hand

Little boy anata wa kitto itsuka tobidatsu

Yogorenai kokoro no mama

Kibou wo ryoute ni hizashi no naka no

Little boy sono hi made mamotte itai

Eigo
Holding onto his knees, leaning on the bench

always by himself, alone

When you met my eyes, it's like you were shy

You were running away to a distant scene, weren't you?

* Little boy, your eyes are searching

with the emptiness of sad adults

You don't have any dreams or pride

You wait for tomorrow to turn around; their life is a lie

Little boy, one day you'll surely go on a journey

with your tarnished heart

Little boy, with your thin arms & legs covered in dirt,

wanting to wait for that day

Holding onto your knees, leaning on the bench

You fight in the passage of time

Little boy, your eyes are searching

At the end is a shining tomorrow; God grows a shining hand

* repeat

Little boy, one day you'll surely go on a journey

with your tarnished heart

Little boy in the sunshine, with hope in both hands,

wanting to protect it till that day
