これから攻めてゆくルート
イメージで思い描き
鍛えたBodyをならして
手をかける
そびえ立つ壁
いま自分にできること
ひとつずつ掴んでは
点と点を結びながら

ただ、進むだけ
夢の挑戦者が知る Climber's high
思い込まなければ越えてゆけない
険しければ険しいほどに
かき立てられる
なにがそこまでさせるの?
Climber's high
見上げているだけじゃ
変わらないから
いまを未来に繋ぐ道が
ただそこにあるから
十人十色のチョイスが
この先に待ち構える
それを誤ることもある
ならばただ、やり直すだけ
迷うことなんかないよ
戻るには遅すぎる
臆病など脱ぎ捨ててく
吹き飛ばしてく
コトバじゃうまくいえない
Climber's high
誰になんといわれてもかまわない
やる前からムリだなんて
決めたくないよ
誰もが胸に秘めてる
Climber's high
もしもぼくらがそれをやり遂げたら
キミにも出来るかもしれない
そう、どんなユメでも

たどり着いた瞬間に
そこに広がる景色は
遥かな旅路を
進むチカラヘと変わる
夢の挑戦者が知る Climber's high
思い込まなければ越えてゆけない
険しければ険しいほどに
かき立てられる
なにがそこまでさせるの?

いまを未来に繁ぐ道が
