[English]

I can't imagine you giving up

There are days when nothing seems to matter

Moments of effort that feel like once in a lifetime

If it seems like there are many to come, I want to see them

Even if "life" is just one, we can share as many "together" as we want

You gave meaning to my empty self, you're the strongest

What kind of talent makes me say "cheer up" over and over?

Keep standing up, you're giving me courage

Cheer up, cheer up, everything small is shouting

If I look into your eyes, I can run too

Try to carve out the best finale

Shall we take a little adventure, or is this enough?

There are doubts and hesitations, right?

Even if I lack the sense of someone born once in a thousand years

I want to see the goal that belongs to you and me

No matter how much the world is full of confusion

I am on the side of you, who is confused

Cheer up, cheer up, let's deliver it hundreds of miles

It's okay to stop to keep running

Cheer up, cheer up, a big cheer will bloom

Show the usual miracles to the world

Let's go to the future where excitement awaits

...

If I embrace the many failures and the self I couldn't love, I'm the strongest

I can feel your power even if I haven't touched it

Let's laugh beyond the wall in front of us

What kind of talent makes me say "cheer up" over and over?

Keep standing up, you're giving me courage

Cheer up, cheer up, everything small is shouting

If I look into your eyes, I can run too

I will run within your gaze

Try to carve out the best finale

...

Because you are my hero.

...

[Japanese]

キミが 諦めるトコ 浮かばないけど

ナニモナイ ナサケナイ っていう日も あるんでしょう

人生に 一度のような 努力の瞬間を

いくつも 迎えちゃいそうなら 見ていたいんだよ

"一生"が一個だって "一緒に"をいくらでも

なんにもないアタシに 意味をくれた 最強だ

フレーって フレーって 何度も言わせる なんていう才能？

ずっと立ち向かってよ 勇気をくれてるよ

フレーって フレーって ちっぽけ全てが叫んでる

その目を見てれば アタシも走れる

最高のフィナーレを 刻んでみてよ

少し冒険しようか このままでいいか

ナヤマシイ モドカシイ って迷いも あるでしょう？

千年に一人のような センスがなくたって

アタシや 君だけのゴールを 見てみたいよね

どんなに世界が わからず屋ばっかでも

アタシはキミという わからず屋の味方

フレーって フレーって 何百マイルも届けよう

ずっと走るために 立ち止まってもいいよ

フレーって フレーって 大きなエールが花開く

いつもの奇跡を 世界に見せてよ

ワクワクが待ってる 未来へ行こうよ

たくさんの失敗談を 愛せなかった自分を 抱きしめたら 最強だ

触れて 触れてないけど分かるよ そのチカラ

目の前の壁の 向こうで笑おうよ

フレーって フレーって 何度も言わせる なんていう才能？

ずっと立ち向かってよ 勇気をくれてるよ

フレーって フレーって ちっぽけ全てが叫んでる

その目を見てれば アタシも走れる

その目の中 アタシも走ってく

最高のフィナーレを 刻んでみてよ

だって アタシのヒーロー。
