Take it
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
自分次第
その先には dawn, dawn, dawn
それは流星のような
それは草原のような
必然の中のforceだ
空前絶後の出会いだ
瞳の奥の方まで強く
触れられたんだ柔らかな宝石に
僕らの明日はまだ見ぬ光
挫けることもあるけど
抜け出そう迷宮
止まらない
僕の鼓動が辿り着いた
Whoa whoa
君と未来を守りたいんだ
Whoa whoa (Take it)
Fighter その向こう側へ今
Try 君となら そう
Higher 飛び出そう
いつか見失ってしまう前に
君を失ってしまう前に
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger

Take it
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
It's down to us
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn
It's like a meteor
It's like a wide open field
The inevitable Force within
Our once-in-a-lifetime meeting
The strong (force) towards our eyes,
We experienced the soft gem.
The light we've not yet seen from our tomorrow
Including the disheartening things as well but
We'll break free of this labarinth
And we won't stop
My pulse has finally arrived
Whoa whoa
I want to protect the future with you
Whoa whoa (Take it)
Now we're a Fighter heading to the other side
With you it seems we can try
Flying higher
Before we lose sight of it
Before you miss it
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
It's down to us
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn
We are believers
So it's the trigger
Come, let's go
What lies ahead is the dawn, dawn, dawn

Take it
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
It's down to us
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn
It's like a meteor
It's like a wide open field
The inevitable Force within
Our once-in-a-lifetime meeting
The strong (force) towards our eyes,
We experienced the soft gem.
The light we've not yet seen from our tomorrow
Including the disheartening things as well but
We'll break free of this labarinth
And we won't stop
My pulse has finally arrived
Whoa, whoa
I want to protect the future with you
Whoa, whoa-oh-oh (Take it)
Now we're a Fighter heading to the other side
With you it seems we can try
Flying higher
Before we lose sight of it
Before you miss it
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
It's down to us
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn
We are believers
So it's the trigger
Come, let's go
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn
Are you no longer fond of them?
The memories from long ago
If you tell only the fun ones,
The morning will come.
The strong (force) deep in our eyes,
We're enchanted by the soft gem.
The light we've not yet seen from our tomorrow
Including the disheartening things as well but
We'll break free of this labyrinth
And we won't stop
My spirit is stiring up
Whoa whoa
I want to protect the future with you
Whoa whoa (Take it)
Now we're a Fighter heading to the other side
With you it seems we can try
Flying higher
Before we lose sight of it
Before you miss it
Ooh
Oh yeah
Show me the stars
Ah ah ah ah ah
Without stopping
Like a meteor
Like an open field, It's the Force (It's the Force)
There won't be a second time (There won't be a second time)
That's right, it's the end (the end)
Filter is out, as we can head to the other side
One day you'll spread your stories like a Story teller
It's not yet the end
Before we wake from the dream
My pulse has finally arrived
Whoa, whoa
I want to protect the future with you
Whoa, whoa-oh-oh (Take it)
Now we're a Fighter heading to the other side
With you it seems we can try
Flying higher
Before we lose sight of it
Before you miss it
(without stopping)
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger (grasping the unknown with our hand...)
It's down to us
What lies ahead is dawn, dawn, dawn (...we wont come appart)
We are believers
So it's the trigger
Come on, let's go
What lies ahead is the dawn, dawn, dawn
Dawn, dawn, the dawn.
