振り返るな、二度と　前だけを見て走るんだ 信じた分の夢が Never(Yes！)mind(Yes！)チカラとなる 背中は優しさと強さが　頼もしく支えるよ それは絶対的な仲間のキズナ

ささくれてゆく(Wow wow wow) 言葉から(Wow wow wow) 自分を傷つけてしまう日もある そんなときこそ(そうさ) 弱さをこじ開けて(本音を引きずり出して) 挑む(変わらない明日の為に) あたしが守る！あたしたちを！(君と) On your mark, Get set, Go！！！

“Get ready？” 歌声高く沸騰させて Strike up the Band！ 決意込めた瞳で(We go！) 運命を掴んで あの日(Hi！)知った(Hi！) 空の(Hi！)意味は(Hi！)切ないくらい 大切なんだ　ずっと(I know！) 世界でひとつだけ

目を伏せるな、二度と　上を見るように叫べば ココロは奮い立ち Never(Yes！)end(Yes！)希望となる 心拍数を上げて　喜び合う瞬間を刻む それは絶対的な仲間のキズナ

油断した先(Wow wow wow) 落とし穴(Wow wow wow) 甘いものには毒があるように そんなときこそ(そうさ) 涙は蹴飛ばして(笑い声で埋めてゆけ) 進め(変わらない明日の為に) あたしが守る！あたしたちを！(君と) On your mark, Get set, Go！！！

“Get ready？” 何万回でも挑戦さStrike up the Band！ ポテンシャル全力で(We go！) 真摯に立ち向かえ あの日(Hi！)見てた(Hi！) 空の(Hi！)色は(Hi！)眩しいくらい 大切なんだ　ずっと(You know！) 世界でひとつだけ

“Get ready？” 時代を巻き起こせ熱く Strike up the Band！ あたしたちの一番を(We go！) 世界へ届けるさ

“Get ready？” 歌声高く沸騰させて Strike up the Band！ 決意込めた瞳で(We go！) 運命を掴んで あの日(Hi！)知った(Hi！) 空の(Hi！)意味は(Hi！)切ないくらい 大切なんだ　ずっと(We know！) 世界でひとつだけ いつまでも　守るよ

Never look back again; look straight ahead and charge forward The parts of the dreams we believed in Never (Yes!) mind (Yes!) Will become strengths I know that I'm supported by kindness and trust without fail, That's what inconditional bonds are

We'll keep on being wounded (Wow wow wow) By mere words (Wow wow wow); There’ll still be days when we hurt ourselves I trust that in those moments (Absolutely) I'll pry open my weakness (Let your honest feelings pour out), And challenge it (So that tomorrow can be the same) To protect "us"! (With you) On your mark, Get set, Go!!!

"Get ready?" Let your voices soar high, Strike up the Band! With eyes full of determination (We go!), Seize our destiny! On that day, (Hi!) we understood (Hi!) That the meaning (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat wistful That was precious, forevermore (I know!), As it's unparalleled in the world

Never look down again; if we shout out wishing to gaze up Our hearts will brighten Never (Yes!) end (Yes!) They’ll become aspirations As our pulse quickens, That’s what inconditional bonds are

We'd been reckless (Wow wow wow) About pitfalls in the past (Wow wow wow) There’s poison in sweet things, So because of that, I'll wipe off my tears (Cover them up with a laughing voice) Go forth (So that tomorrow can be the same) To protect "us"! (With you) On your mark, Get set, Go!!!

"Get ready?" However many challenges we face, Strike up the Band! With our potential at full throttle, (We go!) We'll go against them earnestly On that day, (Hi!) we could see (Hi!) The color (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat radiant That was precious, forevermore (You know!), As it's unparalleled in the world

"Get ready?" Make your passion wake up this era, Strike up the Band! Doing our very best, (We go!) We'll show the world

"Get ready?" Let your voices soar high, Strike up the Band! With eyes full of determination (We go!), Seize our destiny! On that day, (Hi!) we understood (Hi!) The meaning (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat wistful That was precious, forevermore (I know!), As it’s unparalleled in the world I'll protect it forever
