[English]

(Cry Cry) I always get scolded

(Cry Cry) I sometimes feel like I'm spinning my wheels

There are more valleys than mountains

It makes you want to give up, right?

(Cry Cry) From the guy I care about

(Cry Cry) There are times he doesn't call

Sometimes I can't see my own meaning

in this life

Ah, the path I chose

If you love it

Even the days you cried from the pain become

treasures

No matter how much you try

When things don't go well

god makes you

a little stronger

I know you're always giving 100%

and working hard

Keep walking your own way

That's All, one more time, Come on, Action

(Try Try) Let's try to be stronger

(Try Try) Work hard too much sometimes

and feel tired from the gap with your ideals

It's exhausting, right?

Ah, your charm

Do you realize?

When you're being honest and true

that smile of yours?

Even if you're desperately looking ahead

when the wind is against you

God is testing your feelings

sometimes making things tough

but you always give 100%

and I know you're working hard

Keep walking your own way

That's All, one more time, Come on, Action

Your dreams and your path

are endlessly continuing step by step

Now, open a new

door and spread your wings

No matter how much you try

when things don't go well

God makes you

a little stronger

I know you're always giving 100%

and working hard

Keep walking your own way

That's All, one more time, Come on, Action

[Japanese]

(Cry Cry) いつも怒られたり

(Cry Cry) 空回っちゃったり

山より谷が多くて

投げ出したくなるよね

(Cry Cry) 気になるカレからの

(Cry Cry) 電話なかったり

たまに自分のいる意味が

見えないね

Ah 選んだ道

大好きなら

つらくて泣いた日々も また

宝物さ

キミがどれだけ頑張っていても

うまくいかない時は

神様がキミのことを

ちょっと強くする時

キミがいつも100%

頑張ってること知ってるよ

キミらしく歩いていくこと

That's All もう一度 さあ Action

(Try Try) 強くなろうとして

(Try Try) 頑張り過ぎたり

理想との差の大きさに

疲れるね

Ah キミの魅力

気付いてるかい？

素直なキミでいる時の

その笑顔さ

キミが必死に前を向いても

向かい風の時は

神様がキミの気持ち

ちょっと試してる時

キミがいつも100%

頑張ってること知ってるよ

キミらしく歩いていくこと

That's All もう一度 さあ Action

その夢もその道も

果てしなく続いていく Step

さあ また新しい

扉を開いて羽ばたいていこう

キミがどれだけ頑張っていても

うまくいかない時は

神様がキミのことを

ちょっと強くする時

キミがいつも100%

頑張ってること知ってるよ

キミらしく歩いていくこと

That's All もう一度 さあ Action
