さあ行くんだその顔を上げて
新しい風に心を洗おう
古い夢は置いて行くがいい
ふたたび始まるドラマのために
あの人はもう思い出だけど
君を遠くで見つめてる
The Galaxy Express 999
Will take you on a journey

A never ending journey
A journey to the stars

そうさ君は気づいてしまった
やすらぎよりも素晴らしいものに
地平線に消える瞳には
いつしかまぶしい男の光
あの人の目がうなずいていたよ
別れも愛のひとつだと
The Galaxy Express 999
Will take you on a journey
A never ending journey
A journey to the stars

The Galaxy Express 999
Will take you on a journey
A never ending journey
A journey to the stars
