Memagurushii jikan no mure ga
Hashirinukeru machi wa sabanna
Kawaru ga waru SHUURU na NYUUSU
Asu ni nareba dare mo wasureteru

Ikiteiru ima ikiteiru
Sonna naka de nanika wo motome
Mogaku you ni nukedasu you ni
Kono chikara wo tameshite mitakute

* Kitto dokoka ni kotae aru
Umarete kita kotae ga
Hito wa mina sore wo motome
Yarusenai nogasenai yume ni mukau no

** Kizutsuku koto wa kowakunai
Dakedo kesshite tsuyokunai
Tada nani mo shinai mama de
Kuyandari wa shitakunai

*** Here we go! Go! Hashiri tsuzukeru
Dare ni mo tomerare wa shinai
Mirai no jibun e to
"Give a reason for life" todoketai

Hakarishirenai ooki na yami ga
Oto wo tatete mukatte kite mo
Asa ga kureba dareka ga ireba
Kokoro ni aru zetsubou wakeseru

Motto tsuyoku IMEEJI shite
Hohoenderu jibun wo
Shinjiteru omoi sore ga
Nani yori mo dare yori mo yume ni chikazuku

GOORU ni mo tametarishinai
Tatoe tadoritsuitate
Atarashii yume ga kitto
Watashi no senaka osu kara

Here we go! Go! Hashiri tsuzukeru
Dare ni mo tomerare wa shinai
Mirai no jibun e to
"Give a reason for life" todoketai

The hectic, bewildering crowd of time
Is a running road, a savannah.
Sure news that keeps on coming;
Everyone will forget it tomorrow.

I'm living now, I'm living;
This way, I can search for something.
Like it's burning, like it's escaping,
I'll try to test this power ...

Certainly an answer exists somewhere,
An answer that came and was born.
Everyone tries to find this answer
When they face the helpless dreams they won't let go

I'm not afraid of getting hurt
But, I'm never strong.
By merely doing nothing,
I won't want to do things like feel sorry for myself.

Here we go! Go! I'll keep running,
And I won't be stopped by anyone!
I'd like to tell my future self
To give a reason for life

Even if the large, plotting, undiscovered darkness
Turns and comes when I make a sound,
If tomorrow comes, if someone is there,
I'll shatter the despair in my heart

I'll make a stronger image
Of myself, smiling.
A thought of belief advances this image
Towards my dreams more than anyone or anything can

I won't do something like change my goals
Even if I have to fight to achieve them
Because a new dream will certainly
Be pushing at me from behind

Here we go! Go! I'll keep running,
And I won't be stopped by anyone!
I'd like to tell my future self
To give a reason for life
