雨はやがてあがるもの 雲はいつか切れるもの 顔をあげてごらん 君を呼ぶ声きこえるはず 光る涙は　微笑みの前触れだから いつか　その悲しみに 誰かが翼をくれるでしょう 風がほほを撫でてゆく 日差しが君に降り注ぐ 笑顔を思い出したね 誰かの声に応えたんだね 小さな微笑み　幸せの前触れだから いつか　その喜びに 君は包まれることでしょう 翼をもらった悲しみ 去った心に　虹は生まれる さみしさ色から ぬくもり色へ それは　気持ちのグラデーション あたたかな 輝きを いつまでも 本当に本当の　ひとりぼっちなんて どこにもいないということ 君はもう知っているはずだから… 誰かの涙に　いつの日か出会ったならば こんどは　その悲しみに 君が翼をあたえましょう 翼をもらった悲しみ 去った心に　虹はうまれる さみしさ色から ぬくもり色へ それは　気持ちのグラデーション あたたかな 輝きを いつまでも

The rain will end soon, The clouds will part sometime. Look up, Don’t you hear the voice calling you? Shining tears are a sign of smiles to come. Someday, someone Will give that sadness wings The wind strokes your cheeks, Sunshine pours down on you. You remembered how to smile, You responded to someone’s voice. A small smile is a sign of happiness to come. Someday that joy Will surround you. Sadness, given wings, Flies from the heart; a rainbow is born. From the color of loneliness To the color of warmth - These are the gradations of emotion Warmly Shining Always Real, true isolation Does not exist anywhere - Surely you already know that... If some day you meet someone’s tears, This time you should Give their sadness wings. Sadness, given wings, Flies from the heart; a rainbow is born. From the color of loneliness To the color of warmth - These are the gradations of emotion Warmly Shining Always

English version (Just Like a Rainbow)

In the morning time
The sun will rise
And the rain will be just a memory
You can smile
In the warm sunlight
Cause you know that your fears
Have gone with the light

Even now
The whole world seems like a brighter place
Now that your tears have all gone
Your eyes will sparkle like a star
To guide you through the times when life is just too hard

When you're feeling down
Just look around
To see if the smile of a friend can be found
It is there
All of your hopes and prayers
Can come true if there is someone special with you

And I know
You will see that you are not alone
All your friends are here with you
The time for sorrow was yesterday
And a new day has begun to show you the way

Even if the rain should come
You will never be alone
If you believe
That you have friend in me
Together we can reach up high
And shine like diamonds in the sky
All your dreams will start to glow

Just like a rainbow
Your heart and your soul
Everything you know
Just like a rainbow

The sun may come
And the sun may go
There are times when you may feel alone
Look inside
It is there you will find
All of the happiness that your life has left behind

Then you'll see
Just how special that your life can be
From now on and evermore
The time for sorrow has past your by
And everything you are will start to shine

Even if the rain should come
You will never be alone
If you believe
That you have a friend in me
Together we can reach up high
And shine like diamonds in the sky
All your dreams will start to glow

Just like a rainbow
Your heart and your soul
Everything you know
Just like a rainbow
