[English]

Keep on walking like this

Tonight I follow my footsteps alone, straight ahead

Endless, but I know you're the only one

Waiting somewhere with a smile that never fades

There you will

Be The One, Be The One

All right!

I can't give up on the world of tomorrow

Be The Light, Be The Light

All right!

We can become stronger, love won't lose

Helping, saving, embracing someone

Touch my heart, reach out, let it be known

Be The One, Be The Light

Sending a message, it resonates

[Japanese]

このままあるきつづけてる

今夜も真っ直ぐ一人の足跡たどって

果てしないだけどきみだけは

どこかで待ってる笑顔絶やさずに

There You will

Be The One, Be The One

All right!

明日の地球を投げ出せないから

Be The Light, Be The Light

All right!

強くなれるよ 愛は負けない

何かを助け救って抱きしめ

心に触れて 届くよ 伝われ

Be The One, Be The Light

メッセージ送るよ 響くよ
