探してた　ハジけた色の夢 予感がしたのは　君がソコにいたから 届いてた　果てしなく輝く あの光と　はしゃぐ声が　僕を呼ぶ

出会った日から 走り出した音　大事にして こわさないで(今を) 見つけたもの(二度と) 離したくない　離れたくないから…！

Don't be afraid！掴め！掴め！強く！ 初めての　この高鳴りは 追いかけ追いついて　感じてたい　熱を Don't be afraid！駆けて！駆けて！高く！ 叫ぶよう　胸をたたく いつまでも　冷めない「恋」をしたみたいだ…

描くんだ　望んだ未来図を ビートが弾むのは　君がココにいるから 叶えたい　歩き出す道は まだまだ遠いけど　一緒ならば平気だよ

立ち止まる日は 心を抱いて　励ますんだ 辛いままじゃ(何も) 受け取れない(すべて) 逃がしたくない　逃れたくないから…！

Don't be afraid！越えて！越えて！明日ヘ みんなの音色を繋げて 願い事込めては　手を伸ばした　夢に Don't be afraid！響け！響け！すべて まばゆく瞳染めて いつまでも　枯れない「想い」で奏で合おう

羽ばたけ　目指す場所ヘ　僕たちの歌で

Don't be afraid！掴め！掴め！強く！ 初めての　この高鳴りは 追いかけ追いついて　感じてたい　熱を Don't be afraid！駆けて！駆けて！高く！ 叫ぶよう　胸をたたく いつまでも　冷めない「恋」をしたみたいだ…

English=

I searched for a dream exploding with color I got that feeling because you were there The endless radiance I received That light and a restless voice called out to me

Since the day we met I've treasured this racing sound Don't destroy it (The present) The things I've come to know (Never again) I can't let go because I don't want to let go!

Don't be afraid! Take hold! Take hold! Strongly! The first instance of this strong throbbing is Give chase and catch up to this passion that you're feeling Don't be afraid! Dash through! Dash through! Higher! Shout out as you beat your chest It seems that I've fallen in a "love" that won't ever grow cold...

Drawing an image of a future I desire This beat comes to life because you're here The road to fulfilling it is still a bit of a long way to go If you're with me, I think I'll be OK

During days that stop you in your tracks Embrace my heart; it consoles me While you're in pain (No matter what) You won't accept it (All of it) I won't run away because I don't want to do that...!

Don't be afraid! Overcome it! Overcome it! To the future Connect everyone's sound Reach out to that dream with hands filled with your desire Don't be afraid! Resound! Resound! All of it Color your eyes with radiance Let's play this "feeling" that won't wither

Take flight to the place we've aimed for with our song

Don't be afraid! Take hold! Take hold! Strongly! The first instance of this strong throbbing is Give chase and catch up to this passion that you're feeling Don't be afraid! Dash through! Dash through! Higher! Shout out as you beat your chest It seems that I've fallen in a "love" that won't ever grow cold...
