無邪気に思い描いた
Innocently, I envisioned
未来の私の背中を ひたすら追いかけた
The back of my future self, endlessly chasing after it
きっと もうすぐ見えなくなる
Surely, it will be out of sight soon
重なり合う そう信じている
I believe in the intertwining of our fates
ここが私の未来だ
This is my future right here
数ある中で選んだのは
Among so many, the one I chose
きっと最初から分かっていたから
I must have known from the very beginning
これじゃなきゃダメなんだって
That it had to be this and nothing else
誰にも負けたくなかった
I didn't want to be defeated by anyone
しんどくてもひたすら走り続けた
Even when it was tough, I kept running relentlessly
翌る日も翌る日も
Day after day, night after night,
勝ち負けがはっきりある世界は
In a world where winning and losing are clear,
好きだけじゃ生き残れない
You can't survive just on love alone.
いつも結果と成果 遊びじゃない
Always results and outcomes, this is no game.
そんなこと分かってる
I know that much for sure.
でもね 好きだから諦めなかった
But you see, it’s because I loved that I never gave up.
このがむしゃらな毎日がきっと
This reckless everyday life will surely
願った結末に繋がっているって
Lead to the end I’ve wished for,
信じている
I believe it.
さあ 待ちに待った舞台に立って
Now, standing on the stage I've long awaited.
高鳴る鼓動 挑戦の合図
The pounding heartbeat signals the challenge ahead
何度も何度も イメージしてきた
Again and again, I've envisioned this moment
どんな自分も超えてみせる
I will surpass every version of myself
大きく吸った息を吐いて
Taking a deep breath, I exhale it all
もう一度目線を上げれば
If I raise my gaze just one more time
かさぶたばっかの毎日も 今に繋がっていると思えた
I felt that even the days filled with scabs connect to the now
そうだ夢に見ていた景色の 目の前に立っているんだ
Yes, I'm standing right before the landscape I dreamed of
不条理を前に立ち尽くすこともあった
There were times I stood frozen before the absurdity
他人は好き勝手ばっかり言うし
Others just ramble freely, saying whatever they want
もう何のために戦ってんだろって分かんなくなって
I started to wonder what I'm even fighting for
そんな時も もう一度って
Even in those times, once more,
なんとか手を伸ばせたのは
I was somehow able to reach out my hand,
隣で戦い続ける 君がいたから
Because you were right there, fighting alongside me.
ずっと 憧れてきた舞台に立って
Standing on the stage I've always dreamed of,
これまでのこと思い返す
I reflect on everything that's come before.
何度も何度も 流した涙の分
For every tear I shed, again and again,
立ち上がってきた
I rose up once more.
大きく吸った息を吐いて
Exhaling the breath I took in deeply,
ゆっくり瞼を開けて
I slowly open my eyelids,
踏み出すんだ 会いに行くんだ
I'm stepping out, I'm going to meet you.
思い描いた未来の私に
To the future me I've imagined
さあ 待ちに待った舞台に立って
Now, I stand on the stage I've awaited
今鳴り響く開幕の合図
The signal of the opening resounds now
何度も何度も イメージしてきた
Over and over, I've envisioned this
どんな自分も超えて行ける
I can surpass any version of myself
大きく吸った息を吐いて
I take a deep breath and exhale
静かに目線を上げれば
If I quietly lift my gaze
今までのどの瞬間も 無駄じゃなかったと思えた
I can see that none of the moments were in vain
そうだ夢に見ていた未来に 今私は立っているんだ
Yes, I'm standing in the future I dreamed of
そう 無邪気に思い描いた
Yes, the innocent visions that I had
未来の私はもうそこにいるんだ
The future me is already there,
今確かに捉えた
I’ve certainly captured it now.
