=== Rōmaji ===
Come on!
Owareru youni isoi de iru
Kawai ta mune ga kari tateru no sa
Dare no tame de naku
Dare no mono de naku
Oretachi no ima ga
Itami hodoki
Kokoro hodoki
Kage o hodoki
Iki o tsunete
Hashiri nukero
Yami o saite
Tatakau koto mo
Aishi au koto mo
Owari wa shinai
ON THE WAY......
I wanna ROCKS
Mune ni ROCKS
=== Rōmaji (Full Version) ===
COME ON!
Owareru youni isoi de iru
Kawai ta mune ga kari tateru no sa
Hito kiwa tsuyoku kagayaku hoshi wa
Ima mo tooku ni aru
Ushinatte yuku motome nagara
Ubawa rete yuku atae nagara
Dare no tame de naku dare no mono de naku

Omoi kasane yume o kasane hibi o kasane
Ase ni mamire namida korae chi o tagi rase

Haruka hikari no ON THE WAY
Ura kitte kita shin ji nagara
Kitsuke te kita inori nagara
Dare no koto de naku dare no sei de naku
Ore tachi no ima wo
Itami hodoki kokoro hodoki kage o hodoki
Iki o tsunete hashiri nukero yami o saite
Kanashimu koto mo yume o miru koto mo
Owari wa shinai ON THE WAY
Omoi kasane yume o kasane hibi o kasane
Ase ni mamire namida korae chi o tagi rase
I wanna ROCKS

=== Kanji (Full Version) ===
追われるように 急いでいる
乾いた胸が かりたてるのさ
ひときわ強く 輝く星は
いまも遠くにある
失ってゆく 求めながら
奪われてゆく 与えながら
誰のためでなく 誰のものでなく
俺たちのいまが
思いかさね 夢をかさね 日々をかさね
汗にまみれ 涙こらえ 血をたぎらせ
闘うことも 愛しあうことも
遙か光の Ｏｎ ｔｈｅ ｗａｙ
裏切ってきた 信じながら
傷つけてきた 祈りながら
誰のことでなく 誰のせいでなく
俺たちのいまを
痛みほどき 心ほどき 影をほどき
息をつめて 走りぬけろ 闇を裂いて
悲しむことも 夢をみることも
終わりわしない Ｏｎ ｔｈｅ ｗａｙ
思いかさね 夢をかさね 日々をかさね
汗にまみれ 涙こらえ 血をたぎらせ
I wanna ROCKS
胸に ROCKS
=== English (Full Version) ===
Come on!
As if you are being chased, you are in a hurry
This dry heart is screaming
This stubbornly burning star
is still far away
I have been losing while I'm seeking
I have been robbed while I'm giving it
For no one, no one's property
This is our "now"
Overlap our feeling, overlap the dream, overlap the days
sweating, holding the tears, stirring the blood
Fighting and loving 
It's just a far light, On the way
I have been betraying while I'm believing
I haven been hurting while I'm preying
It's no one's business, it's no one's fault
Our now
Untie the pain, untie the heart, and untie the shadow
Hold your breath, run through the darkness
Feeling grief and dreaming
Will never end. On the way
I wanna ROCKS 
ROCKS to the chest!
