[English]

With a voice overflowing from my heart

Singing melody, looking back at the future

And the voice that overflows from you

Combine and echo under the ultramarine sky

It's not a dream, it's not a dream, the footsteps of tears

It's not a lie, it's not a lie, a muddy smile

It's not a dream, it's not a dream, I want to shout arm in arm

Our feelings

Deliver them!

It's okay not to be a miracle, not to be beautiful

Because our life's worth shines brightly

A battery that won't die, with all my soul

Just burn and grow wild with this destiny

Silent headphones

A future where I drift away from my weakness

"It's okay" and "Hang in there" in the lyrics

There were nights when I got frustrated

Not a dream, not a dream, the regret of that day

I won't forget, I won't forget the claw marks on my palm

It's not useless, it's not useless, I want to praise everything

Just a little more

Soaked in sweat from the heat of my wish

Standing with expectations on my shoulders

Feeling scared of the weight

Our jersey number isn't on our back

It's the answer deep in our eyes

Overlapping, shining together, forever

Fear and anxiety grow from tension

Like taking root, they dominate us

I can't lose to things like that

Now, set fire to this destiny and go wild

Deliver them!

It's okay not to be a miracle, not to be beautiful

Because our life's worth shines brightly

A battery that won't die, with all my soul

Just burn and grow wild with this destiny

Just hold up this destiny and face it head-on

[Japanese]

心臓から溢れだした声で

歌うメロディ 振り向いた未来

君から溢れだした声と

合わさって響いた 群青の空の下

夢じゃない 夢じゃない 涙の足跡

嘘じゃない 嘘じゃない 泥だらけの笑顔

夢じゃない 夢じゃない 肩を組んで叫びたい

僕らの想い

届け！

奇跡じゃなくていい 美しくなくていい

生き甲斐ってやつが光り輝くから

切れないバッテリー 魂の限り

宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだすだけなんだ

沈黙が続いたイヤフォン

自分の弱さに遠ざかってく未来

「大丈夫」や「頑張れ」って歌詞に

苛立ってしまった そんな夜もあった

夢じゃない 夢じゃない あの日の悔しさと

忘れない 忘れない 掌の爪痕

無駄じゃない 無駄じゃない それも全て讃えたい

もうあと少し

願いの熱さに 汗まみれになったり

期待背負って立って

重さに臆病になるけど

僕らの背番号 それは背中じゃなく

瞳の奥のアンサー

重なって 照らしあってく FOREVER

緊張から不安が芽生えて

根を張るみたいに 僕らを支配する

そんなものに負けてたまるかと

今 宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだす

届け！

奇跡じゃなくていい 美しくなくていい

生き甲斐ってやつが光り輝くから

切れないバッテリー 魂の限り

宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだすだけなんだ

ただ 宿命ってやつをかざして 立ち向かうだけなんだ
