小さな掌

体は僕の心のことを僕よりわかってくれてる
緊張すれば 掌に汗が滲む
いつだったかなぁ 奥歯を噛み 立ち止まらせたはずの涙に
悲しみを悲しむということを教わったのは
希望の言葉をたくさんバッグに詰め込んで旅に出た
引き返す度に 君は受け止めてくれた
いつの日も 言葉を選べず途方に暮れる僕
言葉に頼らず抱きしめる君
君の方がずっと淋しい思いをしてきたのに

しゃがみこむ背中をさすってくれる いつもそばにある小さな掌
どんなに綺麗に飾られた言葉よりも その温もりに助けられてきた
何もかもうまくいく時ではなく 何もかもうまくいかぬ時にこそ
人は大切な存在に気付くのでしょう どんな僕も愛してくれる君へ
ありがとう いつもそばにいてくれて

草むらに横たわって 流れる雲を眺めると
静かな心を取り戻すことができた
少しだけ 昨日よりも優しくなれる気がするその場所で
一人では生きて行けぬこと かみしめてた
それでも遥か彼方 ゆれる奇跡の花に魅せられて
守り抜くべき日常を枯らしてしまう
もっと昔 青春を青春とも知らず 駆け抜けてから気付いたように
大切な人の大切さを見過ごしてく

美しい想いだけじゃ生きられず 約束の空も汚してしまえた
あんなに綺麗に透き通る空の下で その青に「必ず…」と誓ったのに
ひび割れた理想を手離せぬまま 生きてきた日々を思い返すけど
後ろばかり見てたら明日が哀しむから 人は前に進むしかないんだよ
目の前にいる愛すべき人のためにも

目に見えぬ傷跡をさすってくれる 優しい掌があるということ
世界中に拍手をもらうことよりずっと 大切なものがそばにあった

忙しく暮らす日々に迷い込み 思いやりが無意味に思えても
二度となくしてから気付くことのないように
こんな僕を愛してくれる君に 「ありがとう」の詩をつくりました

言葉じゃ足りない きっと追いつけないよ
言葉じゃ足りないけど、けど、ありがとう。


----English Translation----

my body knows my heart better than myself
if i'm nervous my palms will get sweaty
is it always? in the tears that want me to stop grinding my teeth
i've been taught what sorrow and regret are
i've stuffed in many bags your hopeful words before setting off
whenever i tried to turn back, you are the one who stopped me
one day too, compared to me, who is always at a loss for words
you who holds someone close without saying anything
will realise that your way is really so lonely

patting my back while i'm squatting down, your little palm thats always beside me
more than any beautifully decorated words, i've been saved by this warmth
never does everything go smoothly, surely when everything goes wrong
we notice that a person's existence is important. i thank you for loving me no matter
how i am and for being beside me always.

lying down on a grassy patch and gazing at the flowing clouds
i was able to regain a peaceful heart
just a little, there, i got the feeling its more gentle than yesteday and
i reflected on how a person cannot live alone
but still faraway i'm enchanted by the swaying flower of miracles
my precious regular days have already been seasoned
being older i have forgotten my youth, catching up from behind so i can see it
i overlooked the importance of that important person

we can't live with just pretty thoughts, the promised sky can get polluted
because under this beautiful clear sky, in that blueness i swore i would "definitely"
without letting go of my damaged ideals, i think back upon the days that have come
looking back at the past and being sad about tomorrow, we have no choice but to go on
for the sake of our loved person right before our eyes

comforting my invisible scars, i have your gentle palm with me
surely more than being applauded around the world, the important things are beside me

i've gotten lost living these hectic days, even sympathy now seems to be meaningless
i might not get another chance so while i may not be noticed
for you who loved one such as me, i wrote this song "thank you"

words are not enough, surely i won't be able to catch up
words are not enough but, but, thank you
