Itsunomani atsumatta nda?

Atta koto nai dareka tachi

Gikochinaku utsumu ite iru

Hitomishiri doushi da ne

Itsunomani atsumatta nda?

Otona ni iwareta wake janai

Hajimete jibun kara aketa

Soto ni hirogaru sekai

Saa korekara nani o shiyou ka?

Nandemo dekiru ki ga suru juuichi nin

Yume o minagara

Bokura wa hohoenda

Itsunomani atsumatta nda?

Dareka to iru no wa iya datta

Soredemo minna to iru no ga

Naze ka shiawase ni omou

Saa korekara doko e ikou?

Mukuchi na kokoro ga sakende iru yo

Yoko ni narabi te o tsunaidara

Doko e mo ikeru ki ga shita juuichi nin

Asu ni mukatte

Bokura wa arukidasu

Saa korekara doko e ikou?

Kyou made hitori de ikite kita kedo

Kono unmei ni hikiyoserareta

Riyuu ga wakaru hi ga kuru juuichi nin

Yume wa itsudemo

Bokura no mae ni aru

Yatto deaeta

Bokura wa arukidasu

いつのまに　集まったんだ？

会ったことない誰かたち

ぎこちなく俯(うつむ)いている

人見知り同士だね

いつのまに　集まったんだ？

大人に言われたわけじゃない

初めて自分から開けた

外に広がる世界

さあこれから　何をしようか？

何でもできる気がする11人

夢を見ながら

僕らは微笑んだ

いつのまに　集まったんだ？

誰かといるのは嫌だった

それでもみんなといるのが

なぜか幸せに思う

さあこれから　どこへ行こう？

無口な心が叫んでいるよ

横に並び手を繋いだら

どこへも行ける気がした11人

明日(あす)に向かって

僕らは歩き出す

さあこれから　どこへ行こう？

今日まで一人で生きて来たけど

この運命に引き寄せられた

理由がわかる日が来る11人

夢はいつでも

僕らの前にある

やっと出会えた

僕らは歩き出す

Have we gathered before we realized it?

We've all never met

Awkwardly looking down

Maybe we're all just as shy

Have we gathered before we realized it?

It's not adults told us to do it

But for the first time

We've opened ourselves to the big wide world

So, what should we do from now on?

The 11 of us who are feeling we can do anything

With our eyes on our dream

We started smiling

Have we gathered before we realized it?

We all hated being around people

But despite that, being together here

Somehow makes me happy

So now, where should we go from here?

Our reticent hearts are screaming

Standing side by side and holding hands

The 11 of us who felt we can go anywhere

Turning toward tomorrow

We're taking our steps forward

So now, where should we go from here?

Until today, we went on living alone, but

We're all being drawn together by this destiny

The day the 11 of us are beginning to understand the reason why

The dream is always

Right before our eyes

At long last, we were able to meet

We're taking our steps forward
