いたずらに 過ぎていく時間が
夢へと 流れ出す
迷わずに 明日を選んでいける
そんなふうに 思えるよう
隠しきれない この気持ち
大空に描きだす

Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
今すべて 受けとめて
陽の当たる丘で 軽く口笛を吹き
思いきりアハハと笑ってみようよ

頼りなく 揺れている自分が
夢へと 動き出す
こんなにも 君を探していたよ
果てしなく 続く道
歩き出そう 手をつなぎ
目をふせずに まっすぐと

Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
今心を解き放し
風そよぐ丘で 高く広がる空に
思いきりアハハと笑ってみようよ
Everyday everynight

Reach for the sky
ねぇ はじめなきゃ 届かないよ
夢へと繋いで行けるように
悲しみの昨日に さよならを
どんな時も
どんな時も ここにいて

Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
今すべて 受けとめて
陽の当たる丘で 軽く口笛を吹き
思いきりアハハと笑ってみようよ
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
今すべて 受けとめて
陽の当たる丘で 軽く口笛を吹き
思いきりアハハと笑ってみようよ
