いつも見ていた　この空の向こうは　未来へと続いているから
itsumo miteita kono sora no mukou wa mirai he to tsuzuiteiru kara
’Cause I’m always looking at my future beyond that sky

たとえツライ事で落ち込んだりしても　ただ前を見てい行こうよ
tatoe tsurai koto de ochikondarishi temo, tada mae wo mitei yukou yo
I’ll keep moving forward even when painful things get me down

どこまで　どこまで　どこまで行けばわかるのか
dokomade, dokomade, dokomade ikeba wakaru no ka?
How far? How far? Let’s go as far as we can, get it?

そう遠くまで　そう遠くまで　光り浴びて　Go
sou tooku made, sou tooku made, hikari abite, go
Yeah, into the distance, into the distance, then bask in the sun’s light, go

踏み出せ一歩を　カラ壊して　光をたどれ

Take a step toward breaking the colors, follow the light

Yo, open your eyes

明日へと　突き進め　この手に掴み取るまで

Push your way toward tomorrow, just to wherever your hand points

自分を信じ　歩いて行けば　道は開いてく

立ち止まるな　そこで終わるな　勇気出し　今　走り出すんだ
tachidomaruna sokode owaruna, yuuki dashi, ima hashirisasunda
If you stop, it’s not the end. Gather up your courage and begin running

イチかバチかのチャンスにかけて　がむしゃらでいい突っ走ってけ
ichikabachika no chansu nikakete, gamushara de ii tsuppashitteke
It’s your chance to sink or swim, charge ahead like you’re a daredevil

何度転んだって立ち上がれ
nando marondatte tachiagare
No matter how many times you fall, get back up

Go ahead, dreamer, keep pushin’ on

明日へと　突き進め　この手に掴み取るまで
ashita he to tsukisusume, kono te ni tsukami toru made
