Lyrics
Kanji=
 * あきらめた夢 あきらめた恋
 * 今までどのくらいあったの…？
 * 自分の力 信じあげなさ過ぎて ため息が出る


 * 子供の頃は そう 何でも叶うと
 * 信じてた ただ 真っすぐに


 * 虹のかかった 空へ今飛び立とう さあ、さあ…
 * 夢をつかむためにあるの
 * だからさ Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * 心にかかった七色の虹を


 * 灰色の海 灰色の空
 * 誰かに助けを求める
 * 一人の力じゃ 何もできないなんて 決め付けたくない


 * 子供の頃は そう 空はいつだって
 * 青かった 澄み切ってた


 * あまい香り漂う 春の空は so sweet, so sweet
 * 夢をつかむためにあるの
 * だからさ Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * 心にかかった七色の虹を


 * 心が呼んでる まだ見ぬ世界があるなら
 * 夢だけで終わらせないでよ どうか
 * Live out your dreams
 * Forever and ever…


 * 虹のかかった 空へ今飛び立とう さあ、さあ…
 * 夢をつかむためにあるの
 * だからさ Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * 心にかかった七色の虹を

 * -|English Translation=
 * How times has it been
 * that we've given up on love and dreams...?
 * In the past, I believed too much in myself; now I heave a sigh


 * When I was child, I used to believe so clearly
 * that all my dreams could be granted


 * But the rainbow of the past can still be the bridge into the sky. Come on, come on...
 * We still have dreams left for the taking
 * That's why I should Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * The seven-colored rainbow in our hearts


 * Someone wants to be saved
 * from this ashen sea and sky
 * I don't want to think that I can't do anything by myself


 * Remember when we were kids? The sky was always
 * so blue, so crystal-clear


 * That drifting fragrance of that spring sky is so sweet, so sweet
 * We still have dreams worth going for
 * That's why I'll Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * The seven-colored rainbow in our hearts


 * My heart is calling. There's still a world out there I haven't seen
 * Don't let your dreams end. Please
 * Live out your dreams
 * Forever and ever…


 * Let the rainbow be your bridge into the sky. Come on, come on...
 * There's still dreams out there right for the taking
 * So Never give up
 * So remember, remember
 * The vibrant rainbow in our hearts
