Kanji
近づいて手を伸ばした 明日へと続く光

足元に広がるこの世界の夢を見た

夢と希望は何処にあるなんて知らないよ

走り回って探しても見つからない

真実と嘘の挟間に落ちているのかな

僕らの物語なら始まってもいない

明日へ続く崩れ落ちそうな道も

弱気になる前に飛び出していこう

近づいて遠のいていく 真実を掴む為に

見えない未来から希望を探し出す

誰よりも固い心

身に着けて駆け上がるよ

弱さと戦って勝ちあがる強さを

見つける為に かけがえのない仲間と

足元に広がるこの世界の明日を見た

Translated
Your approaching hand reached out towards tomorrow with a following light

My pace quickened, and I saw this world's dream

How can anyone say for sure where dreams and hopes can be found

Running around in circles, searching for the undiscovered?

How can the valley between lies and truth be crumbling away

When our story hasn't even begun?

The path that leads towards tomorrow is collapsing

So let's take off before it becomes too unstable

Take that approaching escape so that we can seize the truth

We'll find the hope from that unseen future

Our hearts are steadier than anyone's

We fight with our weaknesses

struggling through the fight and winning with our strengths

I will find it with my irreplaceable comrades

My pace quickened, and I saw this world's tomorrow
