Lyrics

桜の木になろう

春色の空の下を
君は一人で歩き始めるんだ
いつか見た夢のように
描いて来た長い道

制服と過ぎた日々を
今日の思い出にしまい込んで
新しく生まれ変わる
その背中を見守ってる

不安そうに振り向く
君が無理に微笑んだ時
頬に落ちた涙は
大人になるための
ピリオド

永遠の桜の木になろう
そう僕はここから動かないよ
もし君が心の道に迷っても
愛の場所がわかるように立っている

教室の日向の中
クラスメイトと語った未来は
今 君が歩き出した
その一歩目の先にある

満開の季節だけを
君は懐かしんでいてはいけない
木枯らしに震えていた
冬を越えて花が咲く

誰もいない校庭
時に一人 帰っておいで
卒業したあの日の
輝いている君に
会えるよ

永遠の桜の木になろう
スタートの目印になるように
花びらのすべてが散っていても
枝が両手広げながら待っている

誰もみな 胸に押し花のような
決心をどこかに忘れている
思い出して
桜が咲く季節に
僕のことを...
一本の木を...

永遠の桜の木になろう
そう僕はここから動かないよ
もし君が心の道に迷っても
愛の場所がわかるように立っている
