Day by day, asu wa kyō yori sukoshi.
Heiwa ni narimasu yō ni.

"yume de yokatta" sō omoeru hi to
"yume nara ba yokatta" toiu hi.
Dōnimo deki nai gekidō no nagare wo
Mi ni tsuyoku kanji nagara mo.
Ki wa utsuri shirazu~shirazu ni
Bokura no hibi mo kawari tsuzukeru.

Day by day kibō sae miidasenai.
Mirai nante nokosenai.
Day by day wasurete shimai sō na,
Hi dakara koso wasurezu ni day by day.

Tsutae kirenai kotoba wa dō sureba ii ?
Kimi wa mada kizukanai.
Kanashii ne ! kimi no jikan wa boku yori mo
Hayaku sugite shiyō kara.

Day by day ikiteiru te koto wa.
Mi mo kokoro mo atatakaku.
Day by day inochi no kazu dake.
Ai mo umare masu yō ni !
Day by day kibō sae miidasenai.
Mirai nante nokosenai.
Day by day wasurete shimai sō na,
Hi dakara koso wasurezu ni.
Day by day asu wa kyō yori sukoshi.
Heiwa ni narimasu yō ni...

Day by day...
