華恋 • ひかり • まひる • クロディーヌ • 真矢 • 純那 • なな • 双葉 • 香子 WOW　果てなき空 WOW　星を目指せ おそれずに進め Hey！　リズムに合わせて手を叩こう Hey！　踊るように歩こう　軽やかに Hey！　本能のままにホップステップジャンプ Hey！　ステージは続く　LALALALALA リボンを解いたの　出てきてもいいよ ドキドキが騒いでる　もう閉じ込められない 世界は広いんだけど　ah 近くに感じていたい キミは今ごろ　どんな景色を見てるかな 折り目をつけた台本には　新しいことは何もなくて 台詞はとうに馴染んでるから 閉じてしまってもいっか　LALALALA まぶしいからきっと見えないんだ 私たちの行き先 すぐに見つけに行くからね 丁寧に合わす衣装のように 私にピッタリの未来が待ってるんだ Hey！　リズムに合わせて手を叩こう Hey！　踊るように歩こう　軽やかに ひとりにひとつずつ　役があるなんて 神サマもニクいよね　最高の演出家だね カバンの下の方には　ah 何を入れておいたっけ ひとまず踏み出そうか　忘れ物はないはず 晴れには晴れの収穫が　雨には雨の実りがある 加速していくこの毎日が 愛し過ぎて抱きしめた　LALALALA キミの言葉あれば　いつだって 戻れるよ　あのページ だから今はピっと先へ 少しずつ進む　それだけでも 行きたいあの場所へ　近づいていけるよ 進もう　もっともっと先へ 踏み出せ　ずっとずっと強く 行けるさ　もっともっと遠く LALALALA きっと私たち叶えられるはず　何度も何度も Hey！　リズムに合わせて手を叩こう Hey！　踊るように歩こう　軽やかに Hey！　本能のままにホップステップジャンプ Hey！　ステージは続く　どこまでも キラめく　キラめく　キラめく 飛び出そう　思いきり踏み出して いつになっても　ハジマリはキラめくよ まぶしいからきっと見えないんだ 私たちの行き先 だから心配しないでね まっすぐな道ばっかじゃないけど大丈夫 心に歌があれば すぐに見つけに行くからね 丁寧に合わす衣装のように 私にピッタリの未来が待ってるんだ Hey！　リズムに合わせて手を叩こう Hey！　踊るように歩こう　軽やかに Hey！　本能のままにホップステップジャンプ Hey！　ステージは続く　LALALALALA 波打つ心に歌を　まぶしい未来に夢を 踏み出す一歩に勇気を　波打つ心に歌を まぶしい未来に夢を 踏み出す一歩に勇気を　LALALA たくさんの光届けるよ　一等星の明るさで だからきっと見つけてね　明日もあさってもずっと たくさんの光届けるよ　一等星の明るさで だからきっと見つけてね 明日もあさってもずっと　LALALA
