Step by Step
Yumiko Takahashi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

臆病だった yesterday
思い切り泣きたいよ
くじけちゃ駄目だよ
何時(いつ)でも 一人じゃない

遠い夢の輝き
とり戻しておいでよ
瞳を閉じればいいのさ

心の片隅に
傷跡を残しても
恐れないで 今は二人

あきらめないで Step by Step
夢をつかむよ Your Fight Jump
いつも君と明日に向かって
走り続けて Step by Step
信じていたい Your Fight Jump
空に向けて叫んでたい
燃えてる in my heart

風のシューズを履いて
どこまでも行きたいね
失うものなど今なら 何もないさ

淋しさに負けないで
歩き出してごらんよ
無限の勇気を集めて

あふれでる涙も
いつの日か振り向けば
君の胸の宝物さ

うつむかないで Step by Step
愛が届くよ Your Fight Jump
どんな時も背中をみせずに
素直になって Step by Step
感じていたい Your Fight Jump
きっと何かつかめるのさ
燃えてる in my heart

あきらめないで Step by Step
夢をつかむよ Your Fight Jump
いつも君と明日に向かって
走り続けて Step by Step
信じていたい Your Fight Jump




空に向けて叫んでたい
燃えてる in my heart
