線路脇にタンポポが
咲いていた
永かった冬が終わり
待ちわびた
春が来たんだ
陽射しの道を歩き
恋でもしようか

通い慣れたはずの
いつもの通学路
昨日までの僕と
どこかが違うよ

俯いていた季節
風も向きを変えて
人はいつだって
生まれ変われるさ

こんな場所にタンポポが
咲くなんて
生命力の強さと
ひたむきさ
教えられたよ
なぜか　目頭が熱くて…
夢や希望や未来は
ここにある
雑草の中の命は
逞しく
育ってゆくよ
日陰もいつの日にか
日向（ひなた）になるんだ

ほんの少しだけの
不運を嘆いてた
休みがちな僕が
恥ずかしく思う

雲ひとつない空は
鳥も自由に飛び
過去の雨の日も
今日のためにある

気づかなかったタンポポが
揺れている
誰の心の中にも
ささやかな
その可能性
日常に忘れていたよ
思い悩み落ち込んだ
寒い日々
当たり前の躓（つまづ）きに
立ち上がる
若き力よ
弱さもいつの日にか
強さになるんだ

The roadside dandelions
Have bloomed
The freezing winter’s ended,
And they’ve gotten tired of waiting
The spring has come
Let’s walk along the sunlit road
And fall in love

I’ve gotten used to coming up and down this road
From all the commuting I do for school
The person I was yesterday
Is some how different from the person I am today

The drooping seasons
And even the direction of the wind change
People are always
Being reborn

Here,
The dandelions bloom
They teach me about
Vitality
And earnest
For some reason, my inner eye burns…
Things like my dream, the seasons, and the future
Are here
Such life amidst the weeds
Strongly
Sprouts up
One of the these days,
The shadows will become sunny spots

I’ve sighed over
Matters that are really minor
Such a lazy person
Is kinda embarrassing, I think

Through the cloudless sky
Birds fly freely
Even the long gone rainy days
Are necessary for the sake of today

The dandelions I never recognized
Are swaying
Inside everyone’s heart
Is a tiny
Potential
That they usually forget about
During the worrisome and depressing
Cold days,
I naturally stumble
And get right back up
That’s the strength of youth
One day, the weakness
Will turn into strength
