たとえ　どんなに夢が遠くたって あきらめないとキミは言った 輝く朝日に誓ってる「前へススメ！」 キミらしく駆けぬけて！

好きで好きでたまらないよ 今すぐ扉あけたいよ でも踏みだせないのはなぜ…

だけど三つのコードから キミと一つになれたよね もう　夢はみんなのもの　この心ふるわせたい

星に願いをかけてはしゃいだ　あの夜空は続いていく 正直になれそうな自分に　キミが微笑んだ♪

そうだ　どんなに今がつらくたって 何もうまくいかなくたって 積み重ねたもの忘れない「前へススメ！」 全身全霊ただ前進！　一心不乱に精一杯！ 果てしなくても　遠くても！

見渡す限りに揺れる輝きが　待っている場所を 夢見ている　夢見ている

あの日のこと忘れないよ　背中を押してくれたキミ 夢がなきゃもう生きられない

心と心つなげたら　届く気持ちをチューニング♪ ほら　夢が響きあった　この感動伝えたい！

過去の全てにとらわれた日々　一人悩むのはやめよう やっと見つけた大切なもの　今日も会えるかな？

そうだ　どんなに雨が強くたって どんなに風が強くたって 何度も何度もつぶやいた「前へススメ！」 昨日の雨に打たれたって　限界の風が吹いたって 果てしなくても　遠くても！

雨があがったら　ひろがる世界は 星空にも似た　あのステージ　あのステージ

星に願いをかけてはしゃいだ　あの夜空は続いていく やっと見つけた大切なもの　今日も会えるかな？

だから　どんなに夢が遠くたって あきらめないとキミは言った 輝く朝日に誓ってる「前へススメ！」 右見て　前見て　左見て　目と目を合わせ確かめた “わたしは一人じゃない”こと

見渡す限りに揺れる輝きが　待っている場所へ 向かいながら　向かいながら

No matter how distant our dream is You told me not to give up I swear to the shining rising sun, "I'll keep on moving!" Keep rushing ahead your way!

I like you, I like you so much, I want to open the door right now But why can’t I move a step... But because of the three chords, I was able to become one with you This dream is now everyone's, I want to make this heart tremble

That star we made our wishes upon, that night sky will go on You’re smiling at the me that managed to become honest with myself

That's why no matter how difficult it is now Even if nothing goes well Don’t forget our experiences, "keep on moving!" Just advance with everything you have! Wholeheartedly with all your might! Even if it's endless or distant!

A swaying radiance as far as the eye can see awaits us I can see it in our dreams

I will never forget that day you pushed my back I can no longer live on without a dream A heart to heart connection, our feelings are tuning♪ Look, our dream is echoing, I want to convey this passion!

Spending your days trapped in the past, stop worrying about it alone Having finally found what's important to me Will we be able to meet again today?

That’s why no matter how strong the rain is No matter how strong the wind is Again and again we'll mutter "keep on moving!" Being hit by rain yesterday, being tossed about by the wind to our limits Even if it's endless or distant!

Once the rain lets up, the expanding world Of that stage resembles that night sky

That star we made our wishes upon that night sky will go on Having finally found what's important to me, Will we be able to meet again today?

That's why no matter how distant our dream is You told me not to give up I swear to the shining rising sun, "I'll keep on moving!" Looking around me, I confirmed it with our meeting gazes, That "I'm not alone"

A swaying radiance as far as the eye can see awaits us We're heading there, we're heading there
