[English]

What can I do? - What am I suited for?

I decided not to give up right from the start

What kind of future awaits? - What kind of future will I create?

It's all up to my own passion

I tried all sorts of things - But still, there's something I really want to do

There are things I just can't give up on

I can become one too - I can become a hero too

I have resolve - I have an unwavering heart

I can become one too - Being strong isn't the only way to be a hero

Making everyone smile the brightest is what a hero does

So wait for me

So wait for me

What is expected of me? - What do I need?

Don't worry about what others think

Is this okay as it is? - Are you satisfied with things as they are?

Live honestly with yourself

I tried all sorts of things - But still, there's something I really want to do

There are things I just can't give up on

I can become one too - I can become a hero too

I have resolve - I have an unwavering heart

I can become one too - Being strong isn't the only way to be a hero

Making everyone smile the brightest is what a hero does

So wait for me

Others might look at me with cold eyes

They might tell me to dream within my means

It's okay if they laugh at me

I'll stick to my own path

It's okay if they laugh at me

I'll become a hero through music

I can become one too - I can become a hero too

I have resolve - I have an unwavering heart

I can become one too - Being strong isn't the only way to be a hero

Making everyone smile the brightest is what a hero does

Definitely

I can become one too - I can become a hero too

I have resolve - I have an unwavering heart

I can become one too - Being strong isn't the only way to be a hero

Making everyone smile the brightest is what a hero does - So wait for me

I've met so many heroes

They've made me smile so many times, given me courage

Given me the strength to live in the moment

Now it's my turn - I'll make everyone smile

[Japanese]

わたしには何ができるのだろう わたしには何が向いてるんだろう

最初から諦めることはやめた

どんな未来がある？ どんな未来を作る？

すべて自分の情熱次第なんだ

いろんなことをためしてみた でもやっぱりやりたい事がある

諦めきれないことがある

わたしもなる わたしもヒーローになれる

覚悟がある　揺るぎないこころがある

わたしもなる 強いだけがヒーローじゃない

みんなを最高の笑顔にするのがヒーローだ

だから待ってて

だから待ってて

わたしには何が求められてる？ わたしには何が必要？

周りの目は気にしないで

このままでいいの？ 今のままで満足なの？

自分に正直に生きるんだ

いろんなことを試してみた でもやっぱりやりたい事がある

諦めきれないことがある

わたしもなる わたしもヒーローになれる

覚悟がある　揺るぎないこころがある

わたしもなる 強いだけがヒーローじゃない

みんなを最高の笑顔にするのがヒーローだ

だから待ってて

他人からしたら冷めた目で見られるかもしれない

身の丈の夢を持てって言われるかもしれない

鼻で笑われてもいい

自分の道を貫く

鼻で笑われてもいい

音楽でヒーローになる

わたしもなる わたしもヒーローになれる

覚悟がある　揺るぎないこころがある

わたしもなる 強いだけがヒーローじゃない

みんなを最高の笑顔にするのがヒーローだ

必ずね

わたしもなる わたしもヒーローになれる

覚悟がある　揺るぎないこころがある

わたしもなる 強いだけがヒーローじゃない

みんなを最高の笑顔にするのがヒーローだ だから待ってて

わたしはたくさんのヒーローに出会って

たくさん笑顔にさせてもらった、勇気をもらった

今を生きる力をもらった

今度はわたしの出番だ わたしがみんなを笑顔にさせる
