一番　先頭を
走ってるつもりだった
前に誰の姿もなかった
ある時　コーチから
「君は1位じゃない」と…
道の先　指差しながら言われた

マラソン得意だし
足も速いと信じて
今日まで努力もした
優勝するのは私だと思った

悔しい
次のチャンスはまたあるよね
これで決まるわけじゃないし
いつもより練習すればいい
目標はそうモチベーション
涙拭(ぬぐ)ってもう一度
新人の頃を思い出そう
汗を流したその分だけ
どんな願いだって叶うんだ

今まで自分のこと
エースだと思ってた
みんな認めてくれてたよね？
初めて後輩に
私のポジションを
取って代わられたのがショックだった

夢　叶えるために
すべてを捨てて来た
誰よりがむしゃらに
自分の未来へ突き進んでたのに…

苦しい
次のチャンスがまた来るまで
愚痴は今日で封印しよう
フラットな意見として
後輩の評価をしよう
センターゼロに立っていた
あの日の私は輝いていた
同じように緊張してる
君の可能性を磨いてみようか？

ここで順位落ちたって
ここでポジション外れたって
自分が強くなればいい
挫折は通り道だ
そう　ネクストタイム

次のチャンスはまたあるよね
これで決まるわけじゃないし
いつもより練習すればいい
目標はそうモチベーション
涙拭(ぬぐ)ってもう一度
新人の頃を思い出そう
汗を流したその分だけ
どんな願いだって叶うんだ

I thought I was running
At the head of the pack
There was no one there ahead of me
That time, Coach told me
"You aren't first"…
While pointing down the road

I'm good at marathons
I believe in my speed
I've worked hard up to this day
I believed I would be the victor

It's mortifying
But there will be another chance
It's not like everything's set in stone right now
As long as I practice harder than ever, it'll be fine
The target is, yes, motivation
Wiping away my tears, once more
I'll remember my days as a novice
No matter what I wish for, it will be granted
To match the effort I put in towards it

Up until now, I was thinking
That I was an ace
Everyone recognized me that way, right?
The first time one of my juniors
Took my position and switched with me
Was a shock to me

To make my dreams come true
I threw away everything to get here
Yet even though I recklessly pushed on
Towards my future, harder than anyone else…

It hurts
Until my next chance comes
I'll seal off my complaints, right here and now
I'll evaluate my juniors
With an unbiased opinion
When I stood as center at zero
I was shining that day
With the same amount of nervousness
Shall we try polishing up your potential?

My rank dropped here
And here I lost my position
Even so, it's fine if it makes me stronger
Setbacks are a way forward
Yes, there is a next time

There will be another chance
It's not like everything's set in stone right now
As long as I practice harder than ever, it'll be fine
The target is, yes, motivation
Wiping away my tears, once more
I'll remember my days as a novice
No matter what I wish for, it will be granted
To match the effort I put in towards it
