On My Way
Tank Ft. J. Valentine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just believe it, ooh, yeah
Oh, we go, we go

Ready! Go my way! 踏み出せば動き出す
光差した未来へ Up to date
あわてないでいつでも君らしく
心ひとつ Always with you

等身大のままで駆け抜けた Everyday
夜明けまで語り合う Dreamin'
いつだって正面に進むべき道はあるよ
きっとどこまでも

(Just movin' on, movin' on)
いつか分かるはずさ
(We're shinin' on, shinin' on)
怖がらないで
誰の手にもこの先の地図などないから

Ready! Go my way! 踏み出せば動き出す
光差した未来へ Up to date
あわてないでいつでも君らしく
心ひとつ Always with you

今壁を越えるよ
ゴールなんてなくても
昨日より今日よりも素晴らしい明日へ
新しい自分を探して

そう気付かないまま傷つけたりして
そのたびに優しさ覚えた
オートマティックじゃないから
心が熱くなるこんなにも

(Just rollin' on, rollin' on)
繰り返す出会いと
(We're growin' up, growin' up)
別れの中で
誰も孤独感じてる夢を探してる

Ready! Go my way! 今は雨に濡れても
青空を信じて One more time
「予定通り」それだけじゃつまらない
それぞれの道 Keep trying

ほら風はいつでも
きっと空を目指してる
忘れないこの季節を抱きしめたまま
譲れない希望に向かって

あの日の僕らにはもう戻れないよ
心に刻まれた思いを胸にしまって
Next stage

Ready! Go my way! 踏み出せば動き出す
光差した未来へ Up to date
あわてないでいつでも君らしく
心ひとつ Always with you

今壁を越えるよ
ゴールなんてなくても

昨日より今日よりも素晴らしい明日へ
新しい自分を探して Go my way, ooh, yeah
