Keep On
Digimon - Maeda Ai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

振り向かないで走り続けよう
Sunshine day
擦りむいた痛みに負けられない
Adventure
立ち向かおう恐れることはない
My future
乾いたノドにうるおいをくれる
Your smile

心の奥に住んでる弱虫な自分に
別れ告げまたひとつ
強くなれるはずさ
今こそ飛び立つ勇気をもって
心の羽広げてまだ見ぬ未来へ
今から果てしない
宇宙(そら)へ向かって
まだ始まったばかりさ夢への冒険
la la la... la la la...
la la la... la la la...
君の手を握りさあ飛び立とう
Blue sky height
明るい声と笑顔がまぶしい
Paradise
暗闇の中迷っても
あきらめない負けないさ
一筋の光を見つけられるはずさ
涙を見せるヒマは無い!
今から涙は見せないように
心の瞳開いてまだ見ぬ未来へ
今こそ信じる強さをもって
いつでも立ち上がれる
勇気を持ってる
la la la... la la la...
la la la... la la la...

うつむいて
肩落としちゃたどり着けない
希望に満ちた素敵なゴールに
走り続けよう挑み続けよう
強くなれるさ!
今こそ飛び立つ勇気をもって
心の羽広げてまだ見ぬ未来へ
今から果てしない
宇宙(そら)へ向かって
まだ始まったばかりさ夢への冒険
la la la... la la la...
la la la... la la la...

la la la... la la la...
