Lyrics
Kanji=
 * さあ昇れ 微風に乗れ　空よりも上へ昇れ
 * さあ踊れ 世界を操れ 誰よりも上で踊れ


 * 愛と勇気 剣と盾を握りしめ
 * どんな困難さえも根性で攻略 向上心持てば
 * 時代は 君のために味方するだろう!
 * 用意周到 気持ちと形がズレる葛藤
 * いつもいつでも敵は己なり 甘く 囁く 誘惑
 * 勝利はその鼓動で確かめればいい


 * 君に強さを 心に翼を


 * さあ昇れ 微風に乗れ 空よりも上へ昇れ


 * 情と欲望 夢と希望を胸に抱き
 * 誰かに出逢い何かを分かち合い時に傷つけあいながら
 * どれくらい 君は涙を流すのだろう?
 * 因果応報 嘘と誠が乱れる情報
 * そんなこんなで頭を悩ます 迷い 戸惑い 争い
 * 真実はその眼差しで見つければいい


 * 君に微笑みを 瞳に輝きを


 * さあ昇れ 微風に乗れ　空よりも上へ昇れ
 * さあ踊れ 世界を操れ 誰よりも上で踊れ


 * 君に強さを 心に翼を


 * さあ昇れ 微風に乗れ　空よりも上へ昇れ
 * さあ踊れ 世界を操れ 誰よりも上で踊れ

 * -|English Translation=
 * Now, rise; Ride the breeze and rise higher than the sky
 * Now, dance; Control the world and dance higher than anyone else


 * I take love and courage as my sword and shield
 * Aspirations can lead the way, and I can grit through any difficulties
 * Time is on your side!
 * Gotta be well prepared, I can't let my feelings bog me down,
 * I can't give in to the soft whispering temptation to become my own worst enemy
 * I know victory can be certain with your rhythm


 * Your strength gives me the wings in my heart


 * Now, rise; Ride the breeze and rise higher than the sky


 * I keep mercy, desires, dreams and hope close to my heart
 * When meeting someone and getting hurt trying to understand them,
 * just how many tears will you need to shed?
 * It's my just desserts; as the truth gets buried in lies
 * and my head tries hard to tell doubt, confusion and dissension apart,
 * I need only to see your gaze to gain my grip on reality


 * Your smile lights the shine in my eyes


 * Now, rise; Ride the breeze and rise higher than the sky
 * Now, dance; Take control of the world and dance higher than anyone else


 * Your strength gives me the wings in my heart


 * Now, rise; Ride the breeze and rise higher than the sky
 * Now, dance; Take control of the world and dance higher than anyone else
