Long long long time ago
Katsute nihon no ashi de massugu to daichi ni STAND UP
Amatta nihon no te de
Create that community changed to society

Shikou to koudou wo kurikaeshi
Rishou to soudou wo furikaeri
Come To gendai kako mireba mirai

HEY! EVOLUTION!

Believe in yourself let's do it you can fly

HEY! EVOLUTION!
HEY! I wanna get so high stimulation!




HEY! EVOLUTION!
