Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

昨日のように 思い出す

I remember like it was yesterday

ひたむきに ただ 走ってた

I was just running passionately, with all my heart

気が付けば 立ち止まって

Before I knew it, I had stopped

進めなくなっていた

I couldn’t move forward anymore

でも 辿り着きたい場所が

But there's a place I want to reach

あるから 歩み続けるんだ

So I keep walking towards it

君からもらった 光

The light you gave me

握りしめて行くんだ I’ll be

Clenching it tight, I will go on

きっと思い描いていた

Surely, toward the dream I envisioned

夢の向こう側へ

Beyond the dream

Oh 君と行けるはずさ

Oh, I believe I can go there with you

僕らはまだDreamer Dreamer

We are still Dreamers, Dreamers

迷わないでCloser Closer

Don’t hesitate, Closer, Closer

近づいていく この思いを（Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah）

Getting closer to these feelings (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

いつまでも胸に（Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah ）

Forever in my heart (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

この手をずっと

Never let go of my hand

離さないで 明日へ

Don’t let go, heading to tomorrow

一歩ずつ僕らの足で

Step by step, with our feet

歩いて行こう

Let's keep walking forward

間違えることもあるけれど

We might make mistakes, but

Because you’re here 今日も前だけを向くよ

Because you're here, I’ll face only forward today

君と決めたPromise

A promise I made with you

秘密さNobody else knows

It's a secret nobody else knows

気が付けば どんな時も

Before I knew it, at any time

隣にいてくれた

You’ve always been by my side

膝を抱えて俯いた

I huddled, feeling down

僕に手を 差し伸べてくれた

You reached out your hand to me

その笑顔の温もりが

That warm smile

今も忘れられないんだ

I still can’t forget it

少しのことでも何かが

Even small things, if something’s wrong

違ったら僕らは

If things go wrong, maybe

出会うこともなかったのかな

We might never have met

僕らはまだDreamer Dreamer

We are still Dreamers, Dreamers

少しずつTogether with you

Little by little, together with you

刻んできた君とのMemories （Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah）

We’ve etched memories together (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

二度とない奇跡（Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah ）

A once-in-a-lifetime miracle (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

運命じゃなく

Not destiny

偶然だとしても

Even if it’s just chance

この特別な感情

This special feeling

変わらないよ

Will never change

雨風に打たれて

Weathered by rain and wind

荒い波に揉まれて

Dragged by rough waves

行きたい先が まだ見えなくても

Even if I still can't see my destination

弱い心は

It's okay to have a weak heart

隠さなくても良いさ

You don’t have to hide it

大丈夫 自分を信じて

It's okay, believe in yourself

We are still Dreamers, Dreamers

Don’t hesitate, Closer, Closer

近づいていくこの思いを（Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah）

一歩ずつ 僕らの足で

Step by step, with our own feet

歩いて行こう

Let's keep walking forward
