Lyrics
どんな遠い道のりでも
– donna tooi michinori demo
踏み出す1歩目の勇気があったんだ
– fumidasu ippo me no yuuki ga attan da
何度もぶつかって 何度躓いても
– nando mo butsukatte nando tsumazuite mo
きっと辿り着けるから
– kitto tadoritsukeru kara
ずっとあの日見た景色を
– zutto ano hi mita keshiki wo
追いかけてるだけじゃ追い付けなくて
– oikaketeru dake ja oitsukenakute
何千回挑んでも 何万回も挫けて
– nanzenkai idonde mo nanmankai mo kujikete
全部投げ出しそうだけど
– zenbu nagedashi sou dakedo
聞き分けない心臓が 「まだ頑張れる」って叫ぶから
– kikiwakenai shinzou ga “mada ganbareru” tte sakebu kara
また強く 願い込めた
– mata tsuyoku negaikometa
それでも戦って 何かを失って
– sore demo tatakatte nanika wo ushinatte
全て間違いだとしても
– subete machigai da to shite mo
今を変えれるのは 自分自身だけなんだ
– ima wo kaereru no wa jibun jishin dake nan da
越えてゆけ 憧れたヒーロー
– koete yuke akogareta hiiroo
報われないことの方が 多過ぎるって嘆いてばっかりじゃなくて
– mukuwarenai koto no hou ga oosugiru tte nageite bakkari ja nakute
擦り剥いたっていいから はみ出したっていいから
– surimui tatte ii kara hamidashi tatte ii kara
No need to be afraid. Try it again.
– No need to be afraid. Try it again.
刻むことを諦めた時計でも
– kizamu koto wo akirameta tokei demo
毎日2回正しい時を指す様に
– mainichi nikai tadashii toki wo sasu you ni
積み重ねてきた ひとつひとつが 答えになる
– tsumikasanete kita hitotsu hitotsu ga kotae ni naru
どれほど削れたって
– dore hodo kezureta tte
どれだけ迷ったって
– dore dake mayottatte
明日を握り締めるために
– ashita wo nigirishimeru tame ni
覚悟決めたのなら
– kakugo kimeta no nara
遅過ぎることはない
– oso sugiru koto wa nai
立ち上がれるから
– tachiagareru kara
それでも戦って 何かを失って
– sore demo tatakatte nanika wo ushinatte
全て間違いだとしても
– subete machigai da to shite mo
今を変えれるのは 自分自身だけなんだ
– ima wo kaereru no wa jibun jishin dake nan da
乗り越えてく 想いの果てへ
– norikoeteku omoi no hate e
そこに居てくれたのは 憧れたヒーロー
– soko ni ite kureta no wa akogareta hiiroo
僕のヒーロー
– boku no hiiroo
English Translation
No matter how long the road ahead,
I had the courage to take the first step
I may stumble and fall many times,
but I’m sure I’ll get there
I was chasing the vision that I once saw,
but I couldn’t reach it easily
Challenged thousand times and failed ten thousand more,
and I’m about to give up
But my stubborn heart shouts at me, “you can still do it!”
So I prayed once more with all my strength
I’ll fight and lose some things,
and even if everything turns out to be wrong
It’s only me that can change this moment
Go and rise above that hero I once dreamed of
Don’t just cry that there are too many unfair things
Get scrapes and scars, go out of line.
No need to be afraid. Try it again.
Like clocks that no longer tick,
but still tell the right time twice a day
Everything I’ve done will all lead to answers
No matter how worn out I am,
no matter how lost I’ve been,
to grasp tomorrow in my hands
When I decide to commit,
it’s never too late,
I can rise again
I’ll fight and lose some things,
and even if everything turns out to be wrong
It’s only me that can change this moment
I can overcome all, beyond my hopes
The hero that I admired was always by my side
My hero
