Challenger

Lyrics & Composition: Yoshiki Mizuno

C'mon
"STARTING"
Let's start! Let the words
reach you through those lovely hands
Connecting
our endless voices

There is no one answer
All while anxious, we talk about love
and keep on struggling
It's frustrating, but I'll smile today

HERO - there's none anywhere
LOSER - there's none there either
So don't stop. That's fine
Don't rely on hope alone
Talk about now, love now

C'mon
"STARTING"
We're gonna keep on changing
Over and over bringing our thoughts ahead
Winding road
"SHOUTING"
The miracle is the days before your eyes
Tears, don't disappear
Connecting
an endless love

Please stop it. Throwing cruel words
someone's gonna cry. And then will you look at their face and smile?
Unable to even notice the dawn

You must live through yourself
That's the sole "REAL"
So be worried. It's fine
Don't give yourself up just to anger
Speak about yourself, love yourself

Geez, why are you waving
your hands so sadly?
The light won't disappear
Turn your gaze up
The clouds will clear up

Countless lonely souls have cried
Spinning it but
unable to turn love into love
Send out the prayers and words
over and over towards tomorrow

C'mon
"STARTING"
We'll just connect our wishes
and live on from today to tomorrow
Winding road

C'mon
"STARTING"
Wanting to make our beloved
smile
we raise our faces again
believing in love

Saa
"STARTING"
Hajimeyou itooshii sono te ni
Kotoba yo tsutaware
Tsukiru koto no nai
Koe wo koe wo tsunaide

Hitotsu no Answer nante nai'n da
Fuan no naka ai wo shaberi
Mogakitsuzukeru yo
Kuyashii keredo hohoemu kyou da

HERO inai yo doko nimo
LOSER inai yo soko nimo
Dakara tomaru na sore de ii
Kibou dake ni amaenai de
Ima wo katare ima wo aise

Saa
"STARTING"
Bokura wa kawaritsuzukeru yo
Nandomo omoi wo saki e to tsureteku
WindingRoad
"SHOUTING"
Kiseki wa me no mae no hibi da
Namida yo kieru na
Owaru koto no nai
Ai wo ai wo tsunaide

Yamete okure yo kotoba wo nage
Dareka ga naku sono kao mitsumete warau no
Yoake sae mo kizukenai de

Kimi wa kimi wo ikiru no
Sore ga yuiitsu no "REAL" nanda
Dakara nayande sore de ii
Ikari dake to asobanai de
Kimi wo katare kimi wo aise

Mou nande sono te wo
Sabishige ni furu no
Hikari wa kienai
Manazashi wo ue ni
Kumo wa kumo wa hareru yo

Musuu no kodoku ga naite kita
Ai wo ai ni dekinai mama
Tsumuide kita
Inori wo kotoba wo
Nandomo ashita e

Saa
"STARTING"
Bokura wa negai wo tsunaide
Kyou kara ashita e ikite iku dake da
WindingRoad

Saa
"STARTING"
Bokura wa itooshii dareka wo
Egao ni shitakute
Mata kao wo ageru
Ai wo ai wo shinjite
