When I was just a child
Between the two of you
I'd hang there in the middle
With my feet above the ground
Holding on so tightly
"One, two, three!" we'd jump
Laughing when we almost fell
Then I'd say, "Let's do it once more"
Walking home at sunset
Your hands were holding mine
Even after scary dreams
I could sleep just fine
The day we jumped hand in hand
I still hear those echoes of laughter
Mom and Dad, thank you so much
They still reach the sky we shared back then
Now the years have carried on
And somehow, I've arrived here
It's becoming our turn now
To tell these stories once again
Maybe it's a little early
But I'm practicing inside
We'll play that game again someday
When little hands join our lives
On the days I came home crying
You held me without a word
Only now I understand
What that warmth was really worth
The day we jumped hand in hand
A tiny world was floating between us
Mom and Dad, thank you so much
I'll pass your kindness on someday
In the rush of everyday life
It's easy to forget
But what matters most, I think
Is having someone by your side who smiles
It doesn't have to be special
No expensive toys at all
Just hearing "Welcome home"
Can bring my heart back where it belongs
As the seasons keep on turning
Only more photos remain
And these ordinary moments
Become treasures in the end
Walking hand in hand together
Even detours are alright
When we share the harder days
The world becomes a little kinder
So I can always recognize
The little joys along the way
The love I received back then
Still shines inside my heart today
If I can raise them with laughter
I believe they'll find their way
And when they fall, we'll rise together
And I'll tell them, "You'll be okay"
Someday will I learn to smile
The way my father always did
Will I learn to hold someone close
The way my mother always could
It's okay if I'm imperfect
I just want to learn to love
I'll never forget the meaning
Of the hands that held me up
The day we jumped hand in hand
Still gives me strength to carry on
Mom and Dad, thank you so much
Someday we'll do the very same
Laughing softly side by side
Making memories day by day
And we'll dream about the day
We jump hand in hand with our own child
On a sunset road back home
I can still hear those voices call
Laughing as we counted, "One, two, three!"
Still jumping in my heart today

The Day We Jumped Hand in Hand
KAZMARIBUKURO
English Description
A memory of being lifted into the air between loving hands as a child.
What once felt like a simple game slowly reveals its true meaning as the years go by.
"Te Wo Tsunaide Haneta Hi" ("The Day We Jumped Hand in Hand") is a heartfelt family song about the love passed down from one generation to the next.
The hands that gently caught us when we almost fell.
The warmth that quietly said, "It's okay,"
without needing any words at all.
And someday,
we may become the ones holding those small hands ourselves.
Wrapped in the colors of a sunset sky,
this song softly carries feelings of gratitude, nostalgia, and the endless chain of kindness that connects families across time.
