Rōmaji[]
You're my friend aa ano hi no yume
Ima demo mada wasuretenain desho
You're my dream aa hajimatta bakka kimi no one longest way
Oh ima tabidatsu yo
Everyday kono saki mo shining day
Kawarazu singin' hikaru asa no smile
Kore de miosame no funny days
Tobidatsu future mezashita go far kokoro no dream of
I'll go the distance mihatenu sora wa blue
Norikonda star ship kore ga saigo no forever trip

English[]
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Everyday ahead is a shining day
Unchanging singin', your shining morning smile
Here, a last glimpse of funny days
I'll jump to the future, I've aimed to go far, dreaming of your heart
I'll go the distance, in the endless blue sky
Embarking on a star ship, this is the most extreme forever trip
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Thank you my friend, ah, even though I
Still remember what happened that day
You're my dream, I still can't turn back to those days again
Oh, I'll go the distance
The lie I've told that's too big for me to keep hiding
I've come to terms with it, this is the end of my trip
It's a game I'll forever lose, from here on, my one dream has begun
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Thank you my friend, ah, even though I
Still remember what happened that day
You're my dream, I still can't turn back to those days again
Already on the move towards tomorrow, my flame of heart cannot be put out
That's right, I'll go the distance
