Tameiki bakari tsuite sugite yuku mainichi ni
"Kotae" no nai toikake wo kurikaeshite
Tachidomatte utsumuku hi mo aru kedo
Mabuta wo tojite hikaru shigunaru wa itsumo.

"Mae ni susume kimi wa"
Sonna mon ka yo
"Nigecha dame da"
Hashiritsuzukeyou.

Genkai datte kimetsuke chattara
Owari wo tsugeru buzaa ga narunda
Boku wo warau ka no you ni
Kono saka wo nobotte mieru keshiki ga
Gooru teepu de sutaato rain sa
Mirai ga matteru.

Fuan wa yokan mo naku kokoro wo yowaraseteku
Tobeteta hazu no tobibako mo kowaku natte
Itsu no manika konna ni retsu no ushiro
Dareka no tobu sugata nagameteiru yo.

"Kimi wa sore de ii no"
Chotto matte yo
"Mada maniau"
Ugokidasu kimochi.

Akogare tatte nozonde tatte
Tadoritsukenai koto mo arunda
Sou daremo ga shitteru
Demo dakara to itte mogaite inakya
Kitto nanimo kawarya shinainda
Jibun wo shinjite.

Dareka no sei ni shinai you ni
Koukai shitari shinai you ni
Saigo ni waraeru you ni yukou.

Genkai datte kimetsuke chattara
Owari wo tsugeru buzaa ga narunda
Boku wo warau ka no you ni
Kono saka wo nobotte mieru keshiki ga
Gooru teepu de sutaato rain sa
Jibun wo shinjite
Mirai ga matteru.

[English Translation]

I sigh over and over again
Each day goes by as questions with no answers keep repeating
Although there are days when I hang my head and come to a standstill
I close my eyes and a signal lights up, always telling me to.

"Keep moving forward"
Is that all?
"You musn't run away"
I'll keep running.

When it's decided I'm at my limit
A buzzer signaling the end sounds out
As if it's laughing at me
I climb this hill and see
The goal tape at the starting line
The future is waiting.

Anxiety suddenly strikes and weakens my heart
I get scared of the vaulting box I should have been able to jump over
Before I know it, I'm in the back of the line
And watching as someone bounds past me.

"Is that all right with you?"
Just a minute
"You can still make it"
My emotions begin to move.

There are things you long for, hope for
That you may not reach
Yes, everyone knows that
But that's why if you don't struggle
Nothing will change
Believe in yourself.

So you won't blame someone else
So you won't have regrets
So that you'll be able to smile in the end, let's go.

When it's decided I'm at my limit
A buzzer signaling the end sounds out
As if it's laughing at me
I climb this hill and see
The goal tape at the starting line
I believe in myself
The future is waiting.
