The extent of the world, look, It's more incomprehensible than I thought! I'm trembling with excitement so much it's laughable Pursuing my dreams for tens of thousands of miles I still still still still have potential!

I'll tightly retie my shoelaces I'll fulfill the promise with my future self!

Even if we collide, we can still understand each other Really for real, let's run together! Let's go! We'll be there!''

 Let's aim for that place with a spurt of speed!
 * ''Let's put away our memories for now

I thirst, I hunger Even so, my strength is boiling up My wounds throb, my sweat flies But I can see clearly

The extent of the world, look, It's more incomprehensible than I thought! I'm trembling with excitement so much it's laughable Pursuing my dreams for tens of thousands of miles I still still still still have potential!

There's no use waiting around, let's go forth! If you do it, then just do it, with a spurt of speed!

The forest is dark, there are no roads Even so, my courage is overflowing The mountains are tall, the valleys are deep But of course, I'm all fired up

The words of my, look, They're more reassuring than I thought! They're extremely warm, so much it makes me cry Chasing after the future for tens of thousands of miles I still still still still have potential!

I'll tightly retie my shoelaces I'll fulfill the promise with my future self!

There's no use waiting around, let's go forth! If you do it, then just do it, with a spurt of speed!

But it's strange. When it comes to things I love, for some reason I can keep going extremely strong! Let's go with "love power" going full throttle, With a spurt of speed!

Through tears and smiles, you're not alone I will always and forever cheer you up!

Even if we collide, we can still understand each other Really for real, let's run together! Let's go! We'll be there!''
