Lyrics
１秒をかけた闘いが 静まり返るビル群に火蓋をきる
アスファルトを今蹴り上げて 積み重ねた日 踏みしめていく
ichibyou wo kaketa tatakai ga shizumarikaeru birugun ni hibuta wo kiru
asufaruto wo ima keriagete tsumikasaneta hi fumishimete yuku
夢の舞台に立つ孤独は 乱反射している僕らの未来
yume no butai ni tatsu kodoku wa ranhansha shite iru bokura no mirai
風をきれ 街から海へと
駆け抜ける そのさきに仲間がいる
一人では決して辿りつくことのないあの場所に
襷をつなげ
kaze wo kire machi kara umi e to
kakenukeru sono saki ni nakama ga iru
hitori de wa kesshite tadoritsuku koto no nai ano basho ni
tasuki wo tsunage
強敵はいつも心の中 決して自分に負けたりしない
kyouteki wa itsumo kokoro no naka kesshite jibun ni maketari shinai
あの人への思い秘めた １秒でも先へ その向こうへ
ano hito e no omoi himeta ichibyou demo saki e sono mukou e
風をきれ 海から山へと
駆け抜けるその先に仲間がいる
一人では決して辿りつくことのないあの場所に
襷をつなげ
kaze wo kire umi kara yama e to
kakenukeru sono saki ni nakama ga iru
hitori de wa kesshite tadoritsuku koto no nai ano basho ni
tasuki wo tsunage
風をきり 山の頂きへと
駆け上がるその先に仲間がまつ
一人では決して辿りつくことのないあの場所に
襷をつなげ
kaze wo kiri yama no itadaki e to
kakeagaru sono saki ni nakama ga matsu
hitori de wa kesshite tadoritsuku koto no nai ano basho ni
tasuki wo tsunage
無限の力が 夢をはこんでく
信じる強さは誰も奪えない
恐れる事なく切り開いてゆけ
信じる強さは誰も奪えない
mugen no chikara ga yume wo hakondeku
shinjiru tsuyosa wa dare mo ubaenai
osoreru koto naku kirihiraite yuke
shinjiru tsuyosa wa dare mo ubaenai
Translation
A one-second battle ignites the silent clusters of buildings
Now, kicking up the asphalt, we step on the accumulated days
The loneliness that appears on the stage of dreams is an irregular reflection of our future
Break the wind, from the city to the sea
Racing ahead, our comrades await beyond
In that place we’ll never reach by ourselves
Tying our sash
The strong enemies are always in our hearts, we will never be defeated by ourselves
I hide my thoughts towards them, and even if it’s just for a second, I go beyond
Break the wind, from the sea to the mountain
Racing ahead, our comrades await beyond
In that place we’ll never reach by ourselves
Tying our sash
Breaking the wind, towards the mountaintop
Ascending, our comrades are waiting for us
In that place we’ll never reach by ourselves
Tying our sash
This infinite power will carry our dreams
No one can take away our strength to believe
Don’t be afraid to open the way
No one can take away our strength to believe
