The map leading to tomorrow is always inside your heart
So brush away your tears, squeeze out a smile, and soar out at full speed
You dash out, slipping through the dazzling morning city
With dreams and reality stuffed inside your bag
You’ve said “I want to make it true” bashfully
With those honest eyes, and the wind kissed your long hair
Though the only words I can deliver are meagre ones
I’ll say that you’re not alone, that I want to be your best ally
Riding on endless days, you work harder than anyone else
Embracing today, loving tomorrow, only looking forward
Overcoming today and continuing to the future, an unseen chance is waiting for you
I want to be with you when you reach that longed for place
Be as you are, stay smiling
Be as you are, go at full speed
Irritated that you can’t change yourself
You stood in the rain, almost looking like you were crying
“I won’t stop”, once the signal changes, you’ll walk on
Because you never want to lose to yourself
When I was worn down by love, you teased me
I got a little angry, but we were soon crying and smiling together
The map leading to tomorrow is always inside your heart
So brush away your tears, squeeze out a smile, and soar out
Even if you trip on the road leading to tomorrow and end up covered in wounds
Always be proud of your honest heart
Be as you are, strong and gentle
Be as you are, at full speed
Be as you are.
Looking for THE GOLDEN GIRL in your mind. La La La…
You’ve always believed in tomorrow, working harder than anyone else
Embracing the present, loving the future, only looking forward
What will happen tomorrow? What kind of world is waiting for you?
I want to be with you when you reach that longed for place
Be as you are, stay smiling
Be as you are, go at full speed

明日へと続く地図はいつだって その胸の中にあるから
涙振りはらって 笑顔振りしぼって 君は飛び出すよ 全速力で
めくるめく 朝の街すり抜け 君は走り出す
夢と現実をカバンに詰め込んで
「叶えたい」 君は はにかんで言った
真っ直ぐな瞳 風がその長い髪にKissした
ささやかな言葉しか 君に届けられないんだけど
ひとりじゃないって言うよ 一番の味方でいたいよ
果てしなく続く日々に乗り込んで 誰よりも頑張ってる君は
今日を抱きしめて 明日に恋して 前だけ見てる
未来へと続く今日を乗り越えて まだ見ぬチャンスが君を待つよ
憧れの場所へ たどり着く時も そばにいたいよ
君らしくいて 笑顔のままで
君らしくいて 全速力で
変われない 自分にいらだって
君は雨の中 少しだけ泣いてるように見えたよ
「止まれない」 信号が変わったら 君は歩き出す
いつも自分に負けたくないのと
恋に破れた日には 君が笑い飛ばしてくれたよね
少し怒ったけどすぐ ふたりで泣きながら笑った
明日へと続く地図はいつだって その胸の中にあるから
涙振りはらって 笑顔振りしぼって 君は飛び出すよ
明日へと続く道につまずいて 傷だらけかもしれない だけど
どんな時だって 心飾らずに 胸張っていくよ
君らしくいて 強く優しい
君らしくいて 全速力で
Be as you are.
