歪つな道を 転びながら前へ
正解なんて 最初から無い
どうせ 周りの声は
風と共に消えていった
見つめるべきは お前じゃない
積み重なる 目の前のlousy task
ジグザグ ジグザグ かわしていけ
ジグザグ ジグザグ ずっと
アップダウン進むだけ Keep on Moving（Keep on Moving）
I'm a Game Changer 今すぐ Break the chain（Break the chain）
つまづいても すぐ立ち上がれ！
よそ見してる ヒマなんてない
Breakout from the noise
I find my way
誰から見ても 遠まわりでも 引きずられても
結局 最後に笑えれば それで All OK！（Are you OK？）
安心しても そのうち壊れる どう抗っても
残るのは 自分の真実だけ 戦うべきは この胸の中
続いてく 果てしなく 続いてく
美しいもの 探すんじゃない
当たり前の 目の前で Find out
ジグザグ ジグザグ 慣れていけ
ジグザグ ジグザグ ずっと
Get Down 超えてゆけ Keep on Grooving（Keep on Grooving）
I’m a Rule Breaker 今すぐ Break the chain（Break the chain）
見失っても すぐ振り返れ！
迷ってる ヒマなんてない
Break out from the dark
I’ll light my spark
アップダウン進むだけ Keep on Moving（Keep on Moving）
I'm a Game Changer 今すぐ Break the chain（Break the chain）
つまづいても すぐ立ち上がれ！
よそ見してる ヒマなんてない
Breakout from the noise
I find my way
イビツな道を 転びながら前へ
正解なんて 最初から無い
どうせ 周りの声は
風と共に…
