KANJI
タフなハート！
何度でも戦うと決めた時から止まらないマイロード
小さなプライド背負って　拳を握って　
また一歩一歩ゴールを目指し全力疾走!
たまに辛い日だってあって　思い通りにいかなくて　
空が涙で滲んで見えても
明日はきっと笑顔になるから　大丈夫!

恐れることは何もないよ　
「俺は強い」と信じて　いざ行こうぜ

「もう心配無いよお前なら!」
そう空が笑ってる気がした　
汗と涙の数　きっと輝ける
もし不安になった瞬間だって　
やればできると自分信じて
足跡が教えてくれた　ずっと NEVER GIVE UP!

「いつも誰かと比べてしまうんだよ…」
ありのままでもいいと分かっていても
誰かのせいにして逃げて　こんな自分が許せなくて
壁にぶつかってしまって　ひとりじゃどうしようもなくて
でも辛い時に側にいて　支えてくれる仲間がいて
共に笑って　泣いてくれるから
かけがえのない存在が目に見えないチカラと勇気　背中押した!

恐れることは何もないよ　
俺ら仲間だから　共に行こうぜ

「もう心配無いよお前なら!」
そう空が笑ってる気がした　
汗と涙の数　きっと輝ける
もし不安になった瞬間だって　
やればできると自分信じて
足跡が教えてくれた　ずっと NEVER GIVE UP!

今が踏ん張り時だったらちょっと待ってなんかないで立って
心のハチマキ巻いて　ここらで歯食いしばって
そうすりゃきっと一歩リード　なれるきっと一人のヒーロー
「しょうがない」って言って正当化する甘い自分なら蹴っ飛ばす
ビビッてないでへっぴり腰に火点けて着火!動かなくっちゃ!
チャッチャッチャと茶番は終了　止まってないでまたRE:スタート!
KEEP ONいつもの笑顔で行くZONE　HERE WE GO NOW!

いつでも独りじゃないよ　いつでもあきらめないで　空を見上げて　拳掲げ
「もう心配無いよお前なら!」
そう空が笑ってる気がした　
汗と涙の数　きっと輝ける
もし不安になった瞬間だって　
やればできると自分信じて
足跡が教えてくれた　ずっと NEVER GIVE UP!

TRANSLATION
What tough heart!
Once I decided that I’d keep up the fight, my road has never stopped unraveling
Carrying a small bit of pride with my fists clenched,
I aim for the goal again step by step, racing towards it with all my might!
Sometimes it’ll be a bad day where nothing goes the way I want it to
But even if the sky blurs through my tears,
I’m sure my smiles will come back tomorrow, so it’s okay!

There’s nothing out there to fear
I’ll keep believing that “I’m strong” and get going!

“With you around, there’s nothing to worry about now”
I felt as if the sky was saying that to me with a laugh
With the sweat and tears I build up, I’m sure I’ll come out dazzling
Even if I end up feeling anxious after it all,
As long as I believe I can do it
These footsteps have taught me to, always, Never Give Up!

“I’m always comparing myself to someone else…”
Even though I know that it’s okay to be me
I put the blame on others, avoiding the issue, and I just can’t forgive that about myself
I run into walls blocking my path and can’t figure things out on my own
But despite the hard times, I had friends who stuck by me and gave me their support
Because they laughed and cried with me
They’re irreplaceable to me, giving me invisible strength and courage, pushing me forward!

There’s nothing out there to fear
Because we’re friends, we’ll go together

“With you around, there’s nothing to worry about now”
I felt as if the sky was saying that to me with a laugh
With the sweat and tears I build up, I’m sure I’ll come out dazzling
Even if I end up feeling anxious after it all,
As long as I believe I can do it
These footsteps have taught me to, always, Never Give Up!

If now is the time to hold out, then don’t wait around; take a stand!
Wrap your heart around your head like a headband, and clench your teeth inside your heart
Once you do that, then surely you’ll take a one step lead, be a single hero
If you justify the situation saying “There’s no helping it” then give that naive self of yours a kick in the rear
Don’t be scared, light a fire underneath your timidity! You’ve gotta move!
Step it up and put an end to this farce, don’t just stand there, but Restart all over again!
Keep On, always with a smile, Zone Here We Go Now!

You’re never alone, don’t ever give up, look up at the sky and raise your fist into the air
“With you around, there’s nothing to worry about now”
I felt as if the sky was saying that to me with a laugh
With the sweat and tears I build up, I’m sure I’ll come out dazzling
Even if I end up feeling anxious after it all,
As long as I believe I can do it
These footsteps have taught me to, always, Never Give Up!
