[English]

Remember it was such a waste of time

Searching for my place, wandering sleepless nights

Feeling frustrated, struggling, tears I've shed no more

Endure and overcome, I don’t wanna stop ever again

The curtain rises on a new story

Toward a world I've yet to see

Right now, beyond the dream

Fly away

Wake me up, no matter how many times

Don't give up, get up and stand tall

I won't look back

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop, run through to the end

To the top, climb higher

With strong wishes, shout it out

Breaking every endless night

Even if I think I can’t make it anymore, blaming myself

Nothing will change unless I realize that first

This is a once-in-a-lifetime race, but just a game

Failures and successes are the base, let’s move forward together, friends

Even in the dark night’s cloudy sky

Let’s carve our way with this voice

No one can stop us now

Don’t be afraid

Wake me up, no matter how many times

Don't give up, get up and stand tall

I won't look back

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop, run through to the end

To the top, climb higher

With strong wishes, shout it out

Breaking every endless night

One more chance will turn around

At the edge of despair, I grasped the future

Won't let it go

The red sun in the dawn sky

Soar beautifully, one life

Wake me up, no matter how many times

Don't give up, get up and stand tall

I won't look back

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop, run through to the end

To the top, climb higher

With strong wishes, shout it out

Breaking every endless night

Breaking every endless night

[Japanese]

Remember it was such a waste of time

居場所探しさ迷う Sleepless nights

悔しくて もがいて 流した涙 anymore

堪えて 乗り越え 二度と I don’t wanna stop

物語の幕開け

まだ見ぬ世界めがけ

今すぐ夢の向こうへ

Fly away

Wake me up 何度だって

Don’t give up 立ち上がれ

振り返りはしない

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop 走り抜け

To the top 駆け上がれ

強く願い込めて 叫ぶんだ

Breaking every endless night

もうダメなんだって 自分自身のせいにしたって

何も変わらないって 気付けないと始りもしない

一回きりの Race されどもただの Game

失敗も成功の Base 共に進もうか Friends

闇夜の曇り空も

この声で切り拓こう

誰にも邪魔させやしない

Don’t be afraid

Wake me up 何度だって

Don’t give up 立ち上がれ

振り返りはしない

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop 走り抜け

To the top 駆け上がれ

強く願い込めて 叫ぶんだ

Breaking every endless night

巡る One more chance

絶望の果て 掴み取った未来

離しはしない

朱い太陽 夜明けの空

美しく舞い上がれ One life

Wake me up 何度だって

Don’t give up 立ち上がれ

振り返りはしない

Just dream it, and do it

Never stop 走り抜け

To the top 駆け上がれ

強く願い込めて 叫ぶんだ

Breaking every endless night

Breaking every endless night
