Kanji

小さい頃は神さまがいて
不思議に夢をかなえてくれた
やさしい気持で目覚めた朝は
おとなになっても 奇蹟はおこるよ

カーテンを開いて 静かな木洩れ陽の
やさしさに包まれたなら きっと
目にうつる全てのことは メッセージ

小さい頃は神さまがいて
毎日愛を届けてくれた
心の奥にしまい忘れた
大切な箱 ひらくときは今

雨上がりの庭で くちなしの香りの
やさしさに包まれたなら きっと
目にうつる全てのことは メッセージ

カーテンを開いて 静かな木洩れ陽の
やさしさに包まれたなら きっと
目にうつる全てのことは メッセージ

Romaji

Chiisai koro wa kami-sama ga ite
Fushigini yume o kanaete kureta
Yasashii kimochi de mezameta asa wa
Otona ni nattemo kiseki wa okoru yo

Kaaten o hiraite shizukana komorebi no
Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara kitto
Me ni utsuru subete no koto wa meseeji

Chiisai koro wa kami-sama ga ite
Mainichi ai o todokete kureta
Kokoro no oku ni shimai wasureta
Taisetsuna hako hiraku toki wa ima

Ame agari no niwa de kuchinashi no kaori no
Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara kitto
Me ni utsuru subete no koto wa meseeji

Kaaten o hiraite shizukana komorebi no
Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara kitto
Me ni utsuru subete no koto wa meseeji

Translation

When I was small there were gods
And they granted my wishes in mysterious ways
On mornings when you wake up feeling at ease
Miracles happen even when you grow up

Open the curtain wide let faint sunbeams shine through
Let their gentleness engulf you I'm sure
All that appears before your eyes is a message

When I was small there were Gods
And every day they sent me their love
Deep in my heart a precious box
Long forgotten the time to open it is now

In a garden where the rain has stopped the faint fragrance of gardenias
Let it's gentleness engulf you I'm sure
All that appears before your eyes is a message

Open the curtain wide let faint sunbeams shine through
Let their gentleness engulf you I'm sure
All that appears before your eyes is a message
