東の空を真っ赤に染める 狼煙の光が

孤独の闇の終わりを告げる 新たな道標

くじけても何度でも 心の炎 燃やせ

Now is the time! Is the time! 今この瞬間を

Is the time! Is the time! 共に生きる

Just now is the time! Is the time! 明日の君に歌うよ

さあ 時は来た！

Go for resistance (resistance) resistance (resistance)

Woh woh woh 心はひとつ

君が信じるなら 進め 道なき道でも

Forever (forever) forever (forever)

Woh woh woh 心の奥に

命が続く限り けして背を向けたりはしない

今日が明日をつくるんだ そう僕らの未来 on the way Ah

Forever (forever) forever (forever)

Woh woh woh 心の奥に
