[Verse 1]

Open up the window, feel the sun on your face

Yesterday was cold and dark, but today’s a brand new day

There are times when you’ll be greeted by the rain

Don’t let the thunder get you down, let it chase your fears away

[Pre Chorus 1]

In this world, you can start to feel lonely

When the clouds roll in and block the light

“Just be brave!” they say, but it’s never that easy

But you can bet I won’t give up without a fight

[Chorus 1]

Take a deep, deep breath

Don’t look back, take that shining step

Heading toward the future

That was meant for me

When I find my voice

No one can silence my song

No matter what they say

I’m gonna take that leap

[Verse 2]

Doors will open and doors will close

But which one do you choose and how are you supposed to know?

Each path that opens up leads to a different fate

My destiny is calling me, so it’s time to be brave

[Pre Chorus 2]

Why is it that I try my hardest, but I still end up stumbling?

Sometimes I feel I should give up and stop trying

But can’t you hear that voice inside you that keeps cheering you on?

Your biggest fan was truly you all along

[Chorus 1]

Take a deep, deep breath

Don’t look back, take that shining step

Heading toward the future

That was meant for me

When I find my voice

No one can silence my song

No matter what they say

I’m gonna take that leap

[Chorus 2]

Try to catch my breath,

Racing ahead with a shining step

Heading toward the place

I never thought I’d see

When I look around

I see where I’m meant to be

Now, all together

We can let our voices ring

[Verse 1]

窓を開けて　朝を迎え

雨は過ぎ去り　今日の始まり

土砂降りの朝が来ても

雨には負けないで

ちゃんと踏み出して

[Pre Chorus 1]

回ってく世界はとても

寂しくも見えるの

勇気なんて簡単に溶けちゃう

それでも前へ進もう

[Chorus 1]

呼吸合わせ

振り向かずにSHINING STEP

輝く未来へ　進もうよ

声がなって

歌も流れる

さぁ自分の力で飛び出す

[Verse 2]

前には道が開く

一歩踏み出せば　新しい可能性だ

未来なんていつも不安定

いけるとこまで　勇気を持て

[Pre Chorus 2]

どんなに頑張っても僕は転ぶばっかで

こんな物はもうやめようかなと

胸の奥から声が光ってるの

勇気づけてくれる物

[Chorus 1]

呼吸合わせ

振り向かずにSHINING STEP

輝く未来へ　進もうよ

声がなって

歌も流れる

さぁ自分の力で飛び出す

[Chorus 2]

息とのえ

かけ走ってくSHINING STEP

新しい未来へ飛んでく

このステージは　僕の居場所さ

さぁ皆の声で音をならせ

[Verse 1]

Mado wo akete asa wo mukae

Ame wa sugisari kyou no hajimari

Doshaburi no asa ga kite mo

Ame ni wa makenaide

Chanto fumidashite

[Pre Chorus 1]

Mawatteku sekai wa totemo

Sabishiku mo mieru no

Yuuki nante kantan ni tokechau

Soredemo mae he susumou

[Chorus 1]

Kokyuu awase

Furimukazuni SHINING STEP

Kagayaku mirai he susumou yo

Uta mo nagareru

Saa jibun no chikara de tobidasu

[Verse 2]

Mae ni wa michi ga aku

Ippo fumidaseba atarashi kanousei da

Mirai nante itsumo fuantei

Ikeru toko made yuuki wo mote

[Pre Chorus 2]

Donna ni ganbattemo boku wa korobu bakka de

Konna mono wa mou yameyou kana to

Mune no oku kara koe ga hikatteru no

Yukizukete kureru mono

[Chorus 1]

Kokyuu awase

Furimukazuni SHINING STEP

Kagayaku mirai he susumou yo

Koe ga natte

Uta mo nagareru

Saa jibun no chikara de tobidasu

[Chorus 2]

Iki tonoe

Kake hashitteku SHINING STEP

Atarashii mirai he tondeku

Kono suteji wa boku no ibasho sa

Saa minna no koe de oto wo narase

[Verse 1]

Open up the window and greet the morning

The rain has retreated and today is beginning

Even if a morning with showers comes by

Don’t lose to the rain

Take a step forward properly

[Pre Chorus 1]

Sometimes the turning world

Can seem so lonely

Courage can easily melt away

Even so, let’s progress forward

[Chorus 1]

Gather your breath

Don’t look back and take a SHINING STEP

Let’s progress forward to the shining future

My voice rings out

And my song will flow

So with your own strength let’s leap forward

[Verse 2]

In front of me, paths open up

If I take one step forward, there’s new possibilities

The future is always uncertain

Hold onto your courage as far as it’ll go

[Pre Chorus 2]

No matter how much I try, I keep stumbling

Maybe I should just quit already

But within my heart there’s a voice that’s sparkling

It’s the thing that gives me strength

[Chorus 1]

Gather your breath

Don’t look back and take a SHINING STEP

Let’s progress forward to the shining future

My voice rings out

And my song will flow

So with your own strength let’s leap forward

[Chorus 2]

Pace your breath

Racing forward with a SHINING STEP

Flying forward towards a brand new future

This stage is where I’m meant to be

So with everyone’s voice, let sound ring out

[Verse 1]

창을 활짝 열어, 햇살이 내려와

흐렸던 어제는 안녕, 새로운 오늘이야

소나기 내리는 하루가 온대도

우울해지지 않을 거야, 맑아질테니까

[Pre Chorus 1]

세상 속에 혼자가 된 것 같아도

먹구름이 빛을 가려도

“힘내라”며 쉽게 던지고들 가죠

절대 지지 않아, 날 지켜봐요

[Chorus 1]

깊은 숨을 쉬어

앞으로 한 걸음, Shining Step

반짝이는 눈 앞의

미래를 향해

나만의 노래

소리 높여 부르면

그 누가 뭐라 해도

난 날아 올라

[Verse 2]

내 눈 앞에 놓인 수많은 길

한 걸음 걸을 때마다 새로운 길이 나오지

그 끝에 놓인 건 아무도 몰라도

다다를 때까지 용기를 잃지 않을래

[Pre Chorus 2]

온 힘을 다해봐도 언제나 넘어지기 일쑤죠

포기하고 다 그만두고 싶을 때

가슴 깊은 곳에서 목소리가 들려왔어

날 언제나 응원하던 소리가

[Chorus 1]

깊은 숨을 쉬어

앞으로 한 걸음, Shining Step

반짝이는 눈 앞의

미래를 향해

나만의 노래

소리 높여 부르면

그 누가 뭐라 해도

난 날아 올라

[Chorus 2]

다시 숨을 쉬어

박차고 달려가, Shining Step

처음 보는 나만의

세상 향해

눈 앞의 무대

고갤 들어 바라봐

자, 모두의 소리를 모아

노래 부르자
