我慢の連続だったろ 心で泣いていたんだろ 自分で決めたその夢だけは ゆずれないだろ?

苦しんだ数なんかより 疑った数なんかより 笑って数や 信じた数が 少しだけ多い人生でありますように

脇役だけど かげの人だけど 夢と向き合う時 真ん中にいさせて正直にいさせて

今まで何度も なんとかあきらめずに 今まで何度も 立ち上がってきたじゃないか 今まで何度も 僕ら 何度も 信じて 何度も 夢見て 何度も...

今まで何度も バカを見てきたじゃないか 今まで何度も 人のかげに立ってきたじゃないか さぁ 主役だよ 自分の夢くらい わがままでいさせて

いろんなものから逃げ出して その決断を先送りにした その夢だけは その夢だけは その夢だけは...

脇役なんて もうたくさんだ 夢と向き合う時 真ん中にいさせて正直にいさせて 脇役じゃなくって 主役でいようぜ

今まで何度も なんとかあきらめずに 今まで何度も 立ち上がってきたじゃないか 今まで何度も 僕ら 何度も 信じて 何度も 夢見て 何度も...

つらぬくために いろいろまげた 信じるために 疑ってきた 守ってくために 人を傷つけた 今まで何度も 何度も

今まで何度も バカを見てきたじゃないか 何度も 人のかげに立ってきたじゃないか さぁ 主役だよ 自分の夢くらい わがままでいさせて

Maybe, it was a constant self-control. Maybe, you were crying inside. You can't give away the dream you chose yourself?

More than the number of times I suffered, more than the number of times I doubt, I want the number of times I laugh and trust others, and I pray that it'll happen in my life

Even though I was always a side character, even though I'm a shadow, let me be in the centre when I dream. Let me be honest.

Up until now, somehow I didn't give up. Up until now,I always stand up, right? Up until now, we always trusted each other Up until now, we dreamed. Up until now...

Up until now, I have looked foolish Up until now, I was standing in someone's shadow Now, I'm a main character, so let me be selfish!

I have been escaping from a lot of things I terminate those decisions But for that dream, but for that dream but for that dream...

I'm sick of a side character. While I'm dreaming, let me be in the centre when I dream. Let me be honest. Let me become not a side character but a main character.

Up until now, somehow I didn't give up. Up until now, I've always stood up, right? Up until now, we always trusted each other Up until now, we dreamed. Up until now...

To break off the seal, I bent a lot To trust someone, I doubted a lot. To protect someone, I had hurt a lot. Up until now...

Up until now, I have looked foolish Up until now, I was standing in someone's shadow Now, I'm a main character, so let me be selfish!
