背の高いパパの背中を追いかけたあの頃
つまづいて　泣きじゃくってはママの手を探してた
 se no takai PAPA no senaka wo oikaketa ano koro
 tsumadzuite   nakijakutte wa MAMA no te wo sagashiteta
    When I used to run after my dad,
    As his back towered above me,
    I would trip and fall, and start to cry,
    And go looking for my mother's arms.

知らないうちに「ありがとう」の一言も
何処か遠くに置き去りにして来た
過ぎて往った時間　振り返る
 shiranai uchi ni 'arigatou' no hitokoto mo
 dokoka tooku ni okizari ni shite kita
 sugite itta jikan   furikaeru
    Before I knew it, even simply saying "Thanks"
    Got left somewhere far behind,
    Looking back at the time that has passed....

テレビでは哀しい事件　今日も流れている
誰だって誰かの愛で育った命なのに
 TEREBI dewa kanashii jiken   kyou mo nagarete iru
 daredatte dareka no ai de sodatta inochi nanoni
    Today, like on every other day,
    Sad stories are playing on the television screen
    Even though every person's life
    Was brought up from another person's love

たった独りに　明日なるかもしれない
こんな世界で生きること想って
その加害者達-ひとたち-　何、願うのかな…
 tatta hitori ni   ashita naru kamo shirenai
 konna sekai de ikiru koto omotte
 sono hito-tachi   nani, negau no kana... [1]
    Tomorrow might come with you still all alone
    Thinking about living in a world like that,
    What do those people wish for, I wonder? [1]

さぁ今すぐに　一番大切な人のために
空を見上げ　顔を上げてもっと幸せになろう
ここまで生きてこれた　僕に「ありがとう」
 saa imasugu ni   ichiban taisetsu na hito no tame ni
 sora wo miage   kao wo agete motto shiawase ni narou
 koko made ikite koreta   boku ni 'arigatou'
    So, right now,
    For the sake of the one most precious to you,
    Look up at the sky,
    Lift your head and find a little more happiness,
    For having gotten this far in life
    "Thanks" to me....

なんでもいい一番大切な思い出でいい
空を見上げ　胸を張って　自分誇れるものを見つけたら
一番近い場所　笑顔くれてる人達に
愛をあげて　そしてやさしさをあげて
今　To all the things to love
君に「ありがとう」 
 nandemo ii ichiban taisetsu na omoide de ii
 sora wo miage   mune wo hatte   jibun hokoreru mono wo mitsuketara
 ichiban chikai basho   egao kureteru hito-tachi ni
 ai wo agete   soshite yasashisa wo agete
 ima   To all the things to love
 kimi ni 'arigatou'
    Anything's perfectly fine
    Your most precious memories are fine,
    Look up at the sky and puff out your chest,
    Once you find something you can be proud of,
    Go offer your love and your kindness
    To the people who are nearest to you, smiling at you
    Right now, to all the things to love
    "Thanks" to you....
