Japanese

sunshine shining...
morning sleeper view...

流星に背を向けた
祈るよりもひと知れず解いて

魔法の解けた
祈る詩を吸いｼﾞｬｹｯﾄ捨てた

『眠れなくていつか
登った屋根から
金平糖の街』

きらきら宝石箱と信じていた...

鏡の中に
「Little Prayer」
僕は...

君に任せ走ろう
夜を追い越すんだ今!

sunshine shining...
morning sleeper view...

sunshine shining...
morning sleeper view...

ryuusei ni se wo muke ta
inoru yori mo hito shire zu toi te

mahou no doke ta
inoru se wo sui JACKET sute ta

"nemure naku te itsuga
nobatta ya nekura
konheitou no machi"

kira kira houseki bako to shinji tei ta...

kagami no naka ni
"Little Prayer"
boku wa...

kimi ni maka se hashirou
yo wo oi kosun de ima!

sunshine shining...
morning sleeper view...

Long Version

Japanese

もう君は忘れてしまったんだろう あの日の僕らを 夢から覚めた 子供の顔して こう言った 流星に背を向けた 祈る指も 人知れずほどいて 魔法のとけた 祈る歌も 静寂へと捨てた 眠れなくていつか 登った屋根からコンペイ糖の街 キラキラ 宝石箱と信じてた 鏡の中に リトル･プレイヤー 僕は きみに任せ走るよ 夜を追い越すんだ 今 そして今 きみはまたあの日のよう ひとりきりで嘆く 夢から覚めた 大人の顔して 僕を忘れてく 鏡の向こうの今日が終わる そのひとみで何を探した？ 明日は何を信じたいの？ 鏡の中で リトル・プレイヤー 僕は きみを待ち続けるよ 夜を追い越すんだ　今 鏡の外の リトル・プレイヤー 僕は ずっとここにいるんだ 夜を追い越すんだ　今
