今 この両手広げて 空に向かって走り出そう!! さあ 輝こう 光のように 人ごみに 流され明日に何を求めるの? 造られたレール 歩んでいくだけ? 現実に ばつかるコトに傷つくの恐れないで 逃げ出したい時でも あきらめないで!! まだ見ぬ明日に 期待したっていいんじゃない? 自分に負けない為に そして信じる為に... 大きく 両手広げて 空に向かってはばたこう!! 自分の強さ いつか誇れるように 今 この両手広げて 明日にこの夢託せるなら さあ 猫こう いつかの自分 君なら出来る きっと輝ける 僕には見える 君の光がずっと.....

Long Version
Japanese
今この両手広げて空に向かって走り出そう！ さぁ！輝こうヒカリのように… 人ごみに流され明日に何を求めるの？作られたレール歩んでくだけ？ 現実にぶつかることに傷つくの恐れないで 逃げ出したいときでも諦めないで！ まだ見ぬ明日に期待したっていいんじゃない? 自分に負けないために そして信じるために… 大きく両手広げて空に向かって羽ばたこう！ 自分の強さいつか誇れるように 今この両手広げて明日にこの夢託せるなら さぁ！描こういつかの自分…！ 知らぬ間に心の奥に閉じ込めているよ 『君』という価値のある存在を 現実は僕らを試している だからこそ踏み出して！ 生きてる 証（いみ）あることを忘れないで その笑顔なら胸張って歩いていけるよね？ 自分に自信を持って！ そして見つめてみて！ 大きく両手広げて空に向かって羽ばたこう！ ずっと眠ってた 魂（こえ）呼び覚まして！ 今この両手広げて 未来（あす）にこの魂託すのなら そう！今しかないこの 時代（とき）を… 僕らの今を 僕らの夢を 僕らの全て 愛すること信じて 君ならできる きっと輝ける 僕には 映（み）える 君の光がずっと… 今この両手広げて空へ… 大きく両手広げて未来へと… いつまでも… 叶うなら… |
