深い森
Vocabulary from Do As Infinity: 'Fukai Mori (深い森)' (Inuyasha ED2 (犬夜叉 ED2) · 2001).
深い深い森の奥に 今もきっと
置きざりにした心 隠してるよ
探すほどの力もなく 疲れ果てた
人々は永遠の 闇に消える
小さいままなら きっと 今でも見えたかな
僕たちは 生きるほどに
失くしてく 少しずつ
偽りや 嘘をまとい
立ちすくむ 声もなく
蒼い蒼い空の色も 気付かないまま
過ぎてゆく毎日が 変わってゆく
つくられた枠組みを越え 今を生きて
錆びついた 心また動き出すよ
時のリズムを知れば もう一度 飛べるだろう
僕たちは さまよいながら
生きてゆく どこまでも
信じてる 光求め
歩きだす 君と今
僕たちは 生きるほどに
失くしてく 少しずつ
偽りや 嘘をまとい
立ちすくむ 声もなく
僕たちは さまよいながら
生きてゆく どこまでも
振り返る 道をとざし
歩いてく 永遠に
立ちすくむ 声もなく 生きてゆく 永遠に
