帰り道に並んだ足音が歪んだ

あの日と今日　違いすぎた道

喉の奥に詰まるような　くすんだ視界

吸い込んで吐いたなら

いつもはじまりはこの One step

どこまでも続くこの One step

遠く、遠く

見たことない景色へ

一緒に歩んでいこう

自分の殻を脱いで One step

追い求めた光へ One step

そうだ今日も

まだ知らない世界へ

One step, one step, one step!

立ち止まれば　簡単に終わりが来るけど

君の足跡は　無駄にしたくない

辿り付いて何を思う　ぼやけた未来

振り切って走り出す

いつも変わらないこの One step

果てしなく続くこの One step

遠く、遠く

輝いた景色へ

一緒に歩んでいこう

可能性を信じて One step

ただただ前を向いて One step

そうだ今日も

変わってゆく世界へ

One step, one step, one step!

この手を引いた好奇心と君

柔い声が　瞳が　また「一歩」を生む

いつもはじまりはこの One step

どこまでも続くこの One step

遠く、遠く

見たことない景色へ

一緒に歩んでいこう

自分の殻を脱いで One step

追い求めた光へ One step

そうだ今日も

まだ知らない世界へ

One step, one step, one step!

On the way home the sound of footsteps becomes distorted

compared to that day, today's way is too different

If you breathe in, this dankening field of vision

seems like if it was blocked in the depth of your throat

the beginning is always this one step

wherever you want to go

far away, far away

to the landscapes that we haven't seen yet

Let's go there together

take off your shell, one step

to pursue the light, one step

ah, that's right! Today too, I'm going to the unknown world

One step, one step, one step!

if you stop the end will easily come

but I would like to avoid not making good use of your footsteps

by sticking to pursue you will realize something

the blurred future has freed himself and started to move.

this one step will never change

this one step continues but it's not endless

far away, far away

let's go together to sparkling landscapes

believe in the possibilities, one step

face only what's in front of you, one step

ah, that's right! Today too

I'm going to the ever-changing world

One step, one step, one step!

what lead me by hand was curiosity and you

a weak voice and eyes give birth again to a single step

the beginning is always this one step

wherever you want to go

far away, far away

to the landscapes that we haven't seen yet

Let's go there together

take off your shell, one step

to pursue the light, one step

ah, that's right! Today too, I'm going to the unknown world

One step, one step, one step!
