Opening Theme 4

Inori no uta (祈りの唄 lit. "Prayer Song") is the fourth opening theme of the Mushoku Tensei anime performed by Yuiko Ōhara. It was released as a digital single on October 17, 2021.

The song was first used in the anime as the opening theme song for Episode 16. The song does not have a special video-animation sequence for the credits as it is integrated into real-time scenes of the story, and varies for every episode.

Lyrics
行き先を迷う者へ 星斗(せいと)のひかりを 耕した土の声 生命(いのち)のはじまりに
 * -|Japanese=

荒野の憂いも　流す雨を給う

ああ 大地の一粒に 捧げよ　感謝と祈りを

この身を永久(とこしえ)に 委ねた現世(うつしよ)の 悲しみも憎しみも 全て無駄にはならず

ああ 大地の一粒に 捧げよ　感謝と祈りを

生きとし生けるものよ 御霊の遺産たちよ 僅かな糧と望み 分かち合う誓い

ああ 大地の一粒に 捧げよ　祈りを ああ 大地の一粒に 捧げよ　感謝と祈りを

To those who have lost their way, The light of the stars The voice of the plowed land To the beginning of life

Bestow rain unto the sadness of the wastelands

Aah, let us grant thanks and prayers To a single grain of the earth

Let us not make waste Of the sadness and hatred That eternity has entrusted Unto this body

Aah, let us give thanks and prayers To a single grain of the earth

Live vividly, Oh inheritance of the departed Swearing to share what little Food and dreams you have

Aah, let us grant thanks and prayers To a single grain of the earth Aah, let us give thanks and prayers To a single grain of the earth
