[English]

Can you tell it? How far can we go?

Aiming for a level that no one knows

Proving the answer with my own body, reaching the top and moving forward

Boldly challenging again, surpassing the passing point

Yeah, just overcoming it

Even impossible things when we lend each other's hands

No matter what happens, I won't stop, uh

Ready for fight!

I’ll be the last one standing, yeah!

High up in the sky, far away

Looking up at the towering stairs

Holding onto this feeling

Destiny we can't escape

Until my body gives out

Bet everything I have

Never let you go, never let you go

Until a greater light shines on us, I go

No turning back

Go up

Without looking back

Look up in the sky, keep going

Go up

Never let you go, never let you go

Until a greater light shines on us, I go

I don't care about anything anymore

I don’t even care if I feel anxious

No matter what gets in the way, I’ll keep moving forward

Continuing to aim for my dreams upward

Woo

As time goes by, I realize I know it’s so hard

No matter what happens, even if something hits me down

That’s okay

I know that I can win

High up in the sky, far away

Looking up at the towering stairs

Holding onto this feeling

Destiny we can’t avoid

Until my body gives out

Bet everything I have

Never let you go, never let you go

Until a greater light shines on us, I go

No turning back

Go up

Without looking back

Look up in the sky, keep going

Go up

Never let you go, never let you go

Until a greater light shines on us, I go

Even if I fall, I stand up again

No matter what difficulties, I’ll solve them and get what I need

Inside the tower where the future is unclear

Unlocking doors with the key I hold tight, even more

Walls closing in, my spirit wears thin

Don’t get fooled, bet on yourself

The higher I climb, the more painful this stage becomes

Only the dreams I aimed for remain in my mind

No turning back

Don’t let go

Without looking back

Look up in the sky, keep going

Don’t let go

Run without hesitation, focus on the future, Woah

Never let you go, never let you go

Until the strong light shines on us, I go

[Japanese]

Can you tell it? どこまで俺達が行けるかって

誰もが知らないレベル目指していく

答えならこの身で証明 上り詰め前進

派手にまた挑戦して超える通過点

Yeah 乗り越えていくだけ

互いに手とり変える不可能さえ

例えどうなっても止まらない uh

Ready for fight!

I’ll be last one that standing, wha!

天高く 遥か彼方へ

そびえたつ階段を見上げ

抱くこの想いを

避けられない Destiny

この身果てるまで

全てを賭けて

Never let you go, never let you go

更なる光が照らすまで I go

No turning back

Go up

振り返らず

Look up in the sky, keep up

Go up

Never let you go, never let you go

更なる光が照らすまで I go

もう構わない何だって

I don’t even care 不安なんて

例え何が邪魔しようと関係はなく進め

また夢の為に 上、目指し続ける

Woo

時が経つにつれ分かりだす I know it’s so hard

またどんなこと起き例え何かが Hit me down

それでもいい

I know that I can win

天高く 遥か彼方へ

そびえたつ階段を見上げ

抱くこの想いを

避けられない Destiny

この身果てるまで

全てを賭けて

Never let you go, never let you go

更なる光が照らすまで I go

No turning back

Go up

振り返らず

Look up in the sky, keep up

Go up

Never let you go, never let you go

更なる光が照らすまで I go

転んでも 立ち上がり

どんな困難も I’ll solve and get what I need

先見えない塔の中

握りしめた鍵で扉開ける更に

立ち並ぶ壁 削れる精神

惑わされたりせずに自分にBetし

登るほど苦しくなるこのStage

頭に目指した夢だけ残る

No turning back

Don’t let go

振り返らず

Look up in the sky, keep up

Don’t let go

なりふり構わず走れ 先を見つめ Woah

Never let you go, never let you go

強く光が照らすまで I go
