(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

時空を 超えて 解き放て far away
走り 続け 遥か彼方 run away

The wind blows, the wind blows

Fly higher in the sky
Fly higher in the night
Starlight, starlight
光照らす その先へ 
Starlight, starlight

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

探し 求め 駆け抜けて get away
記憶の欠片 デジャヴ メジャヴ fade away

Dreaming now, dreaming now

Fly higher in the night
Fly higher in the sky
Starlight, starlight
光放つ あの場所へ
Starlight, starlight

Wherever we are, we'll be with you
We'll never forget shining starlight
Wherever you are, you live in my heart
We'll never forget shooting star
Wherever we are, we'll be with you
We'll never forget shining starlight
Wherever you are, you live in my heart
We'll never forget shining star

Fly higher in the sky
Fly higher in the night
Fly higher in the sky
Starlight shining in the night
