Mou ichido bokura wa ima ugokidashita mirai e
kogidase mune ni omoikizamikonde
tsukamitoreru sa te o nobaseba mada
wasureteita yume ga soko ni aru
    Once again, we have now started moving, to the future
    Start rowing, etch the thoughts into your heart
    We can reach it, if we reach out our hands still
    The dream we forgot is there

Bokura zutto tobenakute sora miage nagameteta
nan ni mo dekizu atemonaku tada sagashitsuzuketa ano koro
    For a long time, we couldn't fly, if we gazed up at the sky
    unable to do anything, with no direction, we just kept searching that era

Tohou ni kureta toki dake sugite (1)
nemurenai yoru kasaneteita n da
obieta kyou no mukougawa e
tadoritsukeru hi ga kuru kitto
    Only time spent at a loss passes
    The nights I couldn't sleep grew in number
    The day when I reach
    the other side of today I feared will come, surely

Mou ichido bokura wa ima ugokidashita mirai e
kogidase mune ni omoikizamikonde
tsukamitoreru sa te o nobaseba mada
wasureteita yume ga soko ni aru
    Once again, we have now started moving, to the future
    Start rowing, etch the thoughts into your heart
    We can reach it, if we reach out our hands still
    The dream we forgot is there

Tashika na mono mienakute toikaketeta Every night
mawari mo miezu ni tsukisusumi muchuu de kakenuketa ano koro
    Unable to see anything certain, we posed the question every night
    We plunged forward without seeing our surroundings, we just ran through in a daze that era

Furidashita ame ni kesareta koe o
mune ni kizami wasurenai you ni
wakiokoru omoi to tomo ni
kimi ni todoku hi ga kuru kitto
    So we don't forget the voice that was
    erased by the rain that fell, etch it into our hearts
    Together with the feeling that wells up
    There will come a day it reaches you, surely

Mou ichido bokura wa ima kakenuketeku mirai e
egaita yume wa kitto omoi no mama
akirameru na kuyamu kurai nara mou
shinjitekita asu wa soko ni aru
    Once again, we have now started running through, to the future
    The dream we painted will surely be just as we thought
    Don't give up, if it's to the point where you lament it then
    the tomorrow we believed in is there

Miushinaikaketeta
"negai kake egaita yume" no saki e to once again
ano koro idaku fuan datte
muda ni nante nannai matteta tte datte...
yori takaku tobu tame ni hikuku shagamu koto datte bokura ni wa hitsuyou
dakara dou ka ima chance o once again
sou nando nando mo again and again
    We almost lost sight of it
    In the direction of "what we wished for, the dreams we painted" once again
    Even the anxiety we harboured
    won't in any way be a waste, since we waited...
    I mean, for us to fly even higher we have to crouch even lower
    So please give this a chance once again
    Yes, however many, however many times, again and again

Mou ichido bokura wa ima ugokidashita mirai e
kogidase mune ni omoikizamikonde
tsukamitoreru sa te o nobaseba mada
wasureteita yume ga soko ni aru
    Once again, we have now started moving, to the future
    Start rowing, etch the thoughts into your heart
    We can reach it, if we reach out our hands still
    The dream we forgot is there

Stand Up!! bokura wa ima kakenuketeku mirai e
egaita yume wa kitto omoi no mama
akirameru na kuyamu kurai nara mou
shinjitekita asu wa soko ni aru
    Stand Up!! We have now started running through, to the future
    The dream we painted will surely be just as we thought
    Don't give up, if it's to the point where you lament it then
    the tomorrow we believed in is there

Notes;
1) where they sing 'toki' is the kanji for 'jikan' - no real difference between them. They both mean 'time'.
