Which one of the stars
That are scattered in the sky
Shines the most?
Even if I'm asked such a question,
No one has the answer
Beyond the darkness
There is a light that can't be seen from here
The frustration and futility
Of keeping on struggling
In a corner of the stage
Are part of your youth, too
Girls,
The dawn will come soon
The future you dreamed of is starting now, wow wow
Girls,
Never give up
Throw away all your sadness
You have to run
With all your might
With all your might!
What is the difference between
The stars that touch people's eyes
And the ones one doesn't realize?
Are they so far
That their light doesn't reach us,
Or is it the clouds' fault?
One would want a reason
Right now you can't live like you want
But if you feel irritated and anxious
I will support you
As you worry,
One day we'll become stronger
Today's tears are tomorrow's strength, wow wow
As you worry,
Take a step forward
If you stop it'll all end there
Do your best
Do your best
You have to believe
Girls,
The dawn will come soon
The future you dreamed of is starting now, wow wow
Girls,
Never give up
Throw away all your sadness
You have to run
With all your might
With all your might!

空に散らばった星の
どれが一番に
輝くのだろう？
聞かれても
誰もきっと答えられない
暗闇の先に
ここから見えない光がある
ステージの片隅で
もがき続ける
悔しさや空しさも
青春の時
少女たちよ
もうすぐ夜明けが来る
夢の未来はこれから始まる
WOW WOW
少女たちよ
何もあきらめるな
悲しいことなんか　すべて捨てて
全力で
全力で
走るんだ！
人の目に触れる星と
気づかれない星
そこにはどういう差があるの？
光　届かないくらいに
離れているとか
雲のせいだとか
理由が欲しい
思うように生きられない今の自分が
もどかしく不安なら
背中を押そう
悩みながら
いつしか強くなれる
今日の涙は明日の力さ
WOW WOW
悩みながら
前へ歩き出せよ
立ち止まったら　そこで終わる
頑張って
頑張って
信じるんだ
少女たちよ
もうすぐ夜明けが来る
夢の未来はこれから始まる
WOW WOW
少女たちよ
何もあきらめるな
悲しいことなんか　すべて捨てて
全力で
全力で
走るんだ！
