夢へのルート(Team 8)

スタートの地点は
横に並んでいた
同じ世代の同じ夢持つ仲間だった
青空にピストル鳴った瞬間から
列は乱れて 誰もが競争し始めた
絆はやがて縦に広がり
順位が生まれてた
速い (速い) 遅い (遅い)
差ができた
高い山を登るルート
それは一つじゃない
目の前の急なその斜面 選ぶ人もいる
頂上へのその途中で
自分が何番目か?
今の居場所を知って
また頑張ればいい
先頭の背中が
遠く離れて行く
手と手繋いでいたのにここからじゃ届かない
力を合わせて頑張ろうと誓った
私たちってやっぱりライバルだったの?
息は苦しく足は疲れて
立ち止まりたくなる
前も (前も) 後ろ (後ろ)
気になるよ
高い山を登るルート
それは一つじゃない
目の前の急なその斜面 選ぶ人もいる
頂上へのその途中で
自分が何番目か?
今の居場所を知って
また頑張ればいい
そばに誰も仲間がいない
孤独を感じるけれど
道は (道は) 続く (続く)
また会えるよ
ゴールまでの長いルート
みんなそれぞれだよ
遅くたって確実な道を選ぶ人もいる
走り方が美しいと
評価もされるだろう
流した汗の量も
誰かが見てるよ

The Route to a Dream (Team 8)

At the starting point
We lined up side by side
Friends from the same generation with the same dream
As the pistol shot echoed through the sky
The line broke down and everyone started competing
The bond gradually spread vertically
And a ranking was born
Fast (fast) slow (slow)
The gap widened
A route to climb a high mountain
There is not just one
There are those who choose the steep slope in front of them
Halfway to the summit
What place am I?
Knowing where I am now
I can keep working hard
The back of the leader
Grows distant
Although we used to hold hands, I can't reach them from here
We vowed to work hard together
Were we rivals after all?
My breath is ragged and my legs are tired
I want to come to a standstill
Ahead (ahead) behind (behind)
I'm worried
A route to climb a high mountain
There is not just one
There are those who choose the steep slope in front of them
Halfway to the summit
What place am I?
Knowing where I am now
I can keep working hard
There are no fellow travelers beside me
I feel lonely, but
The path (the path) continues (continues)
We'll meet again
A long route to the goal
Everyone is different
There are those who choose a slow but steady path
If the way of running is beautiful
It will also be evaluated
The amount of sweat you shed
Someone is watching
