Rise up

ホコリ被った靴　まだね

hokori kabutta kutsu mada ne

These dust-covered shoes, you know,

一度しか履いていない

ichido shika haite inai

I've still only used them once

今年の日記帳　ページ

kotoshi no nikkichō pēji

I've left this year's diary

3つ進んだまま

mittsu susunda mama

with only three pages used

続けるってなんだかんだ

tsuzukeru tte nandakanda

I say I want to keep going but I find myself

気付けば目移りしてばっか

kizukeba meutsuri shite bakka

only getting distracted with one thing or another

あれ？いつの間にか時は過ぎて

are? itsunomanika toki wa sugite

What? Before I knew it, the time's gone

繰り返し思い描く　理想はすぐそこ

kurikaeshi omoiegaku risō wa sugu soko

The ideal I keep on imagining is right there

「捕まえてよ」って手招きして

"tsukamaete yo" tte temaneki shite

"Grab hold of it," it beckons

ねえなんでなんで　また忘れちゃうの？

nē nande nande mata wasurechau no?

Tell me, why oh why do you forget again?

君が欲しがっていた明日じゃないの？

kimi ga hoshigatte ita asu ja nai no?

Isn't this the future you wanted?

ほらもう一回立ち上がるよ

hora mō ikkai tachiagaru yo

See, you'll rise up one more time

まだ諦めるには早いでしょ

mada akirameru ni wa hayai desho

You know it's too soon to give up

もう何度何度目だ　自信がないの？

mō nando nandome da jishin ga nai no?

How many many times have you tried? Don't you have the confidence?

それを目指していたはずじゃないの？

sore o mezashite ita hazu ja nai no?

I thought you aimed for it, didn't you?

ほらもう一回立ち上がるよ

hora mō ikkai tachiagaru yo

See, you'll rise up one more time

まだ諦めるには早いでしょ

mada akirameru ni wa hayai desho

You know it's too soon to give up

窓辺に咲いた花　前は

madobe ni saita hana mae wa

The flower at the windowsill bloomed

蕾だったのにな

tsubomi datta no ni na

though before it used to be a bud

昨日の雨模様　カラリ

kinō no amemoyō karari

Yesterday's rainy gloom

どこか消えてった

dokoka kiete'tta

vanished somewhere clear away

変わること、なんだかんだ

kawaru koto, nandakanda

One thing or another changes,

気付けないと落ち込んでばっか

kizukenai to ochikonde bakka

but when I don't notice it, I only ever feel down

もう！ほんとにこれ意味あるかな

mō! honto ni kore imi aru ka na

Enough! Is it really that significant?

繰り返し思い悩む　急がずに行こ

kurikaeshi omoinayamu isogazu ni iko

I worry over and over. I'll go at my own pace

「間違いない」って思えるから

"machigainai" tte omoeru kara

because I can tell I'm on the right track

ねえなんでなんで　負けて良いの？

nē nande nande makete ii no?

Tell me, why oh why do you put up with losing?

今を逃げたら振り出しじゃないの？

ima o nigetara furidashi ja nai no?

Don't you know, if you run away now, you'll be back to square one?

ほら後ろを見てごらんよ

hora ushiro o mite goran yo

See, have a look behind you

重ねた道　繋がってるでしょ

kasaneta michi tsunagatte'ru desho

You know that all the roads you've taken are connected

もう何度何度目だ　嫌になるよ

mō nando nandome da iya ni naru yo

How many many times have you tried? You'll get sick of it

全て投げ出したくもなるよ

subete nagedashitaku mo naru yo

and you'll want to throw it all away

ほらちょっとずつ近づいてる

hora chotto zutsu chikazuite'ru

See, you're edging closer and closer

もう諦めるには遅いでしょ

mō akirameru ni wa osoi desho

You know it's too late to give up now

♫

♫

♫

もう何度何度目だ　自信がないの？

mō nando nandome da jishin ga nai no?

How many many times have you tried? Don't you have the confidence?

それを目指していたはずじゃないの？

sore o mezashite ita hazu ja nai no?

I thought you aimed for it, didn't you?

ほらもう一回立ち上がるよ

hora mō ikkai tachiagaru yo

See, you'll rise up one more time

まだ諦めるには早いでしょ

mada akirameru ni wa hayai desho

You know it's too soon to give up

まだ諦めるには早いでしょ

mada akirameru ni wa hayai desho

You know it's too soon to give up

君になら出来るでしょ

kimi ni nara dekiru desho

I really know you're up to it!
