Japanese

未知の不安や今の不満を誰もが抱え
その思いを分かち合える大事な人がいる?

過去を受け止めて信じるチカラ今持ってほしい!
いつだって側にいるから!

どんなに長い道だっていつかはたどりつけるんだ
少しの勇気が僕らを動かす
遠回りしたっていい
一緒にあの彼方まで・・・

ずっと負けない心
堅い意志胸に抱き
僕らは明日へと進む
見えないチカラが変えてく

消えない未来へ・・・
立ち向かう強さ持って
一緒に乗り越えていこう!
Let's go!! Let's go!! Let's go!!

Long Version

Japanese

未知の不安や今の不満を誰もが抱え
その思いを分かち合える大事な人がいる?

過去を受け止めて信じるチカラ今持ってほしい!
いつだって側にいるから!

どんなに長い道だっていつかはたどりつけるんだ
少しの勇気が僕らを動かす 遠回りしたっていい
一緒にあの彼方まで・・・

"孤独に生きる"そんな自分に誰もが恐れ
そんな自分に受け入れてくれる仲間を探す
未来に生きる姿見つめてる現在、前を何いて!

これからもひとりじゃないから!
心配しないで 側に居るよ ずっとずっと!

こんなに長い道だって歩けば、足跡残るから
確かな勇気を僕らに与えた
冒険しながら一緒に旅に出よう!

どんなことが起きても
"無限のチカラ"で一緒にあの彼方まで!

ずっと負けない心  堅い意志胸に抱き
僕らは明日へと進む  見えないチカラが変えてく

消えない未来へ・・・ 立ち向かう強さ持って
明日をこえる虹を渡ろう  一緒に乗り越えていこう!
Let's go!! Let's go!! Let's go!!
