Original Japanese あきらめる人には　なりたくない 持ってる力を　試してみたいんだ そういう気持ちを　捨てないで 人の評価　気にしてちゃ　何もできない Take a chance 夢のいる場所をめざそう 未来がほら　輝いてる　for you すごく眩しい きっと泣きたくなる暗闇も 星が光るためにあるよ　for you あなたなら出来る　きらめいて

English translation I don't want to become someone who gives up I want to test the limits of my strength Never throw away this feeling Once you think about the worth of a person, you become unable to act TAKE A CHANCE let's head for the place where dreams are The future is shining FOR YOU It's incredibly bright Even in the darkness that makes you want to cry The stars are shinning FOR YOU If it's you, you can do it, shine
