Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ずっと走り続けてきたそしてここへたどり着いた
これまでの道が後ろに延びてる

決していい事だけじゃない躓いた事もあったけど
諦めなかった前だけを見てた

そしてまた踏み出すのさ
道はまだ続いている

終わらない旅の途中もう一度走り出そう
前を見つめる瞳に迷いなんてないから
終わらない夢の途中ここから走り出そう
僕の中で動いてる止まらない衝動を感じて

今日も明日も太陽は変わらずに昇り続ける
僕も同じように走り続けたい

他の誰かのものじゃない
僕は僕の道を行く

果てしない旅の途中もう一度走り出そう
希望の光目指して明日をただ信じて
果てしない夢の途中ここから走り出そう
僕の中で響いてる力強い鼓動が聞こえる

答えはいらない
ゴールもいらない
走り続けていたいずっと

踏み出そう

終わらない旅の途中もう一度走り出そう
前を見つめる瞳に迷いなんてないから
終わらない夢の途中ここから走り出そう
僕の中で動いてる止まらない衝動を感じて

また走り出そう
