COLORS
Vocabulary from FLOW: 'COLORS' (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion ED3 (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ ED3) · 2006).
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間は いつもすぐそばに…
隠せぬ苛立ちと 立ち尽くす自分を 見つめ
迷いながら 悩みながら 悔やみながら 決めればいいさ
君がくれた 言葉ひとつ 戸惑いは消え去り
からっぽだった 僕の部屋に 光が射した
見上げた大空が 青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした 窓を 開く事を決めた
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間は いつもすぐそばに…
満たせぬ日常に 在るはずの答えを 探して
朝陽に独り 柔らかな声に 振り向けば
眩い陽射しの中 ふと君が微笑む
閉ざした 窓が 開きそうになる
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
存在は 僕の目の前に…
見上げた大空が 青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした 窓を 開く事を決めた
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間を 感じる今ここに…
光へと 両手を伸ばして…
心を吹き抜ける 空の色 香る風
