We Can Start!! Lyrics

作詞作曲／田代智一
Lyrics and composition/Tomokazu Tashiro

人は　夢を抱いて　生きる
HITO WA YUME WO DAITE IKIRU
(We all live holding a dream)

いつかは叶うと　願う
ITSUKA WA KANAU TO NEGAU
(Wishing that someday it will come true)

長い　道を進んだ分だけ
NAGAI MICHI WO SUSUNDA BUN DAKE
(The way to reach it is long)

転んだり　泣いたり　辛い日もあるけど
KORONDARI NAITARI TSURAI HI MO ARU KEDO
(And so we will fall and cry and face hard times)

そんな時は　立ち止まって
SONNA TOKI WA TACHI TOMATTE
(If that happens, we have to stand up)

仲間　家族　みんなを　思い出して
NAKAMA KAZOKU MINNA WO OMOIDASHITE
(And remember our friends, our family, everyone)

つまり　世界中に　溢れている　ワクワクも　ドキドキも
TSUMARI SEKAIJUU NI AFURETEIRU WAKUWAKU MO DOKIDOKI MO
(The world is full of thrill and excitement)

なにもかも　全部全部　分かち合っていこう
NANIMO KAMO ZENBU ZENBU WAKACHIA TTEIKOU
(So let’s share everything and all)

そして　涙だって　いつかきっと　海になって　空になって
SOSHITE NAMIDA DATTE ITSUKA KITTO UMI NI NATTE SORA NI NATTE
(And then our tears will blend with the waters, will blend with the sky)

虹になって　届くはずさ　この胸の熱いメッセージ
NIJI NI NATTE TODOKU HAZU SA KONO MUNE NO ATSUI MESSAGE
(And will turn into a rainbow that spreads the message of passion in our hearts)

共に歩こう　新しい旅へ　ゆこう　We Can Start !!
TOMONI ARUKOU ATARASHII TABI HE YUKOU We Can Start !!
(Let’s walk together. Let’s part for a new trip. We Can Start !!)

空を　見上げながら　祈る
SORA WO MIAGE NAGARA INORU
(We look up to the sky and pray)

叶わない夢は　ないと
KANAWANAI YUME WA NAI TO
(That there’s no dream that cannot be achieved)

時に　迷うこともあるけれど
TOKI NI MAYOU KOTO MO ARU KEREDO
(Sometimes we will feel lost)

いつだって　がんばれ　自分に言い聞かせた
ITSU DATTE GANBARE JIBUN NI IIKIKASETA
(But then we just have to tell us to try to be strong)

勇気と希望　友情と愛が
YUUKI TO KIBOU YUUJOU TO AI GA
(Because courage and hope, friendship and love)

高い壁も越えてく　力になる
TAKAI KABE MO KOETE KU CHIKARA NI NARU
(Will be the power to surmount the highest walls)

つまり　世界中に　溢れている　喜びも　楽しさも
TSUMARI SEKAIJUU NI AFURETEIRU YOROKOBI MO TANOSHISA MO
(The world is full of pleasure and joy)

嬉しさも　全部全部　分かち合っていこう
URESHISA MO ZENBU ZENBU WAKACHIA TTEIKOU
(So let’s share everything and all)

そして　いつかきっと　世界中が　手をつないで　見つめ合って
SOSHITE ITSUKA KITTO SEKAIJUU GA TE WO TSUNAIDE MITSUMEATTE
(And then someday everyone will hold their hands, look at each other)

許し合って　分かり合っていこう　それがこれからのメッセージ
YURUSHIA TTE WAKARIA TTEIKOU SORE GA KOREKARA NO MESSAGE
(Understanding and forgiving, that’s our message for the future)

共に進もう　新しい時代へ　ゆこう
TOMONI SUSUMOU ATARASHII JIDAI HE YUKOU

We Can Start !!　熱いこの日を　We Can Start !!　みんなと共に
We Can Start !! ATSUI KONO HI WO We Can Start !! MINNA TO TOMONI
