Lyrics
Romaji=

One! two! three! four!

One! two! three! four!

One! two! three! four! Wow wow…

Source: lyrical-nonsense Kanji = 青空をあつめて　繋げたら 無限大の明日が　どこまでも続く flying！

Can you stand by me？(All right！) Can you step by me？(Let’s try！) one！ two！ three！ four！

初めての街に戸惑い　壁作ってた 部屋に射す光も　届かないふりして 一人でいいんだと　膝を抱えて眠る Loneliness　このままじゃ 雨は上がらないさ

Go forward　もう一度　その手伸ばしたら 君の手握る誰かを　信じて新しい世界へと “Stand by me!!”

青空の向こうに　浮かんでる 無限大の明日が　僕たちを待ってる

手にした憧れを　希望へと 君だけの Hero　感じ続けてほしい

僕が握った君の手が 今度は誰かの手を握り そこから始まれ Story！

Can you stand by me？(All right！) Can you step by me？(Let’s try！) one！ two！ three！ four！

喧噪の街で　心を凍らせないで 目映い光を　扉開けて感じ 少しの勇気は　それを可能性へと No limits　変えていく 虹の橋を渡れ！

Go change　もう一度 その手伸ばしたら 一人ぼっちじゃないから 叫ぼう！　みんなで声あわせ―― “Stand by me!!”

青空の向こうへ　思い馳せ 無限大の明日を　どこまでも描く

少年の心を　繋げよう 友情の evidence　唄い続けてゆこう

君が抄った僕の歌 今度は誰かに伝えたい そこから始まれ History！

Don’t cry　いつでも　躓いたときは 耳を澄ましてみよう あの日の自分の声がする “Stand by me!!”

青空をあつめて　唄ってる 無限大の明日が　始まりを待ってる

青空をかぞえて　君を待つ 次のステージへ　挑み続けたいから

僕が握った君の手が 今度は誰かの手を握り 今すぐ始まれ Story！

Can you stand by me？(All right！) Can you step by me？(Let’s try！) one！ two！ three！ four！ Wow wow… English =

One! two! three! four!

One! two! three! four!

One! two! three! four! Wow wow…
