Progress

Lyrics: Makoto Furuya
Music: Masato Kitano
Arrangement: Motoki Funayama

Hold up your hands high; shine beyond that
We'll reach it, fly; I'm watching you, you who aren't discouraged
Yeah, blue dreams and shining sweat
Become the power that leads to an answer

We diverge on the road to tomorrow irresponsibly
Your daring profile is magnificent

You hand down
The way to rewrite a fate no one believes in

Hold up your hands high; shine beyond that
We'll reach it, fly; I'm watching you, you who aren't discouraged
Yeah, blue dreams and shining sweat
Become the power that leads to an answer

The map of the future we inserted into the dictionary one day
Should be waiting if we look up the word "hope"

You know that
Decisions and tears turn the pages

Without hesitation step, an earnest fight
We run through and pass, the wind's direction is with you
Yeah, turn towards the tomorrow we drew
Become a never-ending power

When we go through these confined days, we sometimes
Advance through the darkness of anxiety where we want to look down in shame
Cause it's good even once, run with all your strength!
Uninterrupted footprints are stronger than a sword and a pen

I won't avert my eyes, I won't forget to cry
We reach it at last, fine; believing in your gaze
C'mon, without turning around, I chased after you
To the other side of the door where light shines

Hold up your hands high; shine beyond that
We'll reach it, fly; I'm watching you, you who aren't discouraged
Yeah, blue dreams and shining sweat
Are the pieces that lead to an answer
An earnest fight, we run through and pass
The wind's direction is with you
Yeah, turn towards the tomorrow we drew
Become a never-ending power

Te wo kazase HIGH sono saki no SHINE
Todoku no sa FLY kujikenai kimi wo miteru
Sou aoi yume mo hikaru ase mo
Kotae wo michibiku CHIKARA ni nare

Musekinin ni bunkisuru asu e no michi
Futeki na sono yokogao hokorashii yo

Daremo ga shinjitenai sadame no kakikae kata
Kimi ga kataritsugu no sa

Te wo kazase HIGH sono saki no SHINE
Todoku no sa FLY kujikenai kimi wo miteru
Sou aoi yume mo hikaru ase mo
Kotae wo michibiku CHIKARA ni nare

Itsuka jisho ni hasanda mirai zu wa
"Kibou" no moji wo hikeba matteru hazu

Ketsudan to namida ga PEEJI wo mekuru koto wo
Kimi wa shitteiru kara

Mayowazu ni STEP hitasura na FIGHT
Kakenukete PASS kazamuki wa kimi to tomo ni
Sou egaite ita ashita ni muke
Hateshinaku tsudzuku CHIKARA ni nare

Kagirareta hibi wo yukeba utsumukitaku naru you na
Fuan no yami wo susumu toki mo aru
Ichido datte ii kara omoikiri hashiru n da
Togirenai ashiato wa tsurugi yori mo PEN yori tsuyoku

Sorasanai EYES wasurenai CRY
Tadoritsuku FINE manazashi wo shinjiteru yo
Saa furimukazu ni oikaketeta
Hikari no sasu tobira no mukou e

Te wo kazase HIGH sono saki no SHINE
Todoku no sa FLY kujikenai kimi wo miteru
Sou aoi yume mo hikaru ase mo
Kotae wo michibiku tame no PIECE
Hitasura na FIGHT kakenukete PASS
Kazamuki wa kimi to tomo ni
Sou egaite ita ashita ni muke
Hateshinaku tsudzuku CHIKARA ni nare
