Kanji:

新しさに戸惑いながら　ひとつずつ慣れてく

この街でも変わらない俺たちで　笑いあえるのって心強い
水の傍でやりたい夢を　それぞれのオモイで
追いかけてる仲間がうれしいね　俺も負けてられないなって

もっと何かできるのかな　みんなの支えになれるような

心に湧くキラキラするイメージへとフォーカス

夢はいつだって自由自在　広がるほどオリジナルに

ちゃんとこれだってわかるような　自分ってカタチで現れるね
だからもっともっと自由自在　思いつくまま描いていこう

いつか未来の俺たちへ

晴れ渡る心で思いっきりHop Step Dream！！

向き不向きの以前に　興味持てるかどうかだね
おかしなくらい自然にここにいる　ちゃんと選んでこれたんだ

ずっとそうやって生きたいから　みんなもそうだったならいいな
似合う道で輝いてる顔　見続けたい

そうさずっとずっと自由自在　いろんなことに挑戦して
いつか最高の未来まで

自分らしく進め一歩ずつHop Step Dream！！

何度だってTake Your Marks！！　自問自答して
心に正直な道を選ぼう
また今日もTake Your Marks！！　調子はどうだろう
イキイキしてるとこ見せあえたらいいね

夢はいつだって自由自在　広がるほどオリジナルに
ちゃんとこれだってわかるような　自分ってカタチで現れるね
だからもっともっと自由自在　思いつくまま描いていこう
いつか未来の俺たちへ

晴れ渡る心で思いっきりHop Step Dream！！

English:

While being perplexed by the newness of it all,
I’m getting used to things one at a time
It’s reassuring that even in this city,
we can laugh with each other as our unchanging selves
My friends who are chasing after their dreams 

of what they want to do by the waterside
according to their own feelings make me so happy, I can’t lose either!

I wonder if there’s something more I can do, a focus on the
sparkling image surging from my heart that can be helpful to everyone

Dreams are always completely free, 

the more original the more you expand them to be
I’ll appear as a form of myself that knows that this is it!
So let’s create them however we think of, even more freely
Someday let’s give it our all and
Hop Step Dream with cloudless hearts towards our future selves!!

What comes before figuring out whether you’re cut out for something
Is figuring out if you’re interested in it
It’s so natural that I’m here it’s strange, 

I came here by my own earnest decision

Because I want to live on that way forever
I hope everyone feels the same way
I want to keep seeing these faces shining on the path that suits them

That’s right! Stay completely free forever and ever, and challenge various things

Someday let’s Hop Step Dream and
Continue one step at a time in our own way to our best future!!

Take Your Marks again and again!! Answer your own questions
Let’s choose the paths that are true to our hearts
Take Your Marks again today!! How are you feeling?
I hope we can show each other our liveliest selves

Dreams are always completely free, 

the more original the more you expand them to be
I’ll appear as a form of myself that knows that this is it!
So let’s create them however we think of, even more freely
Someday let’s give it our all and
Hop Step Dream with cloudless hearts towards our future selves!!
