信じる勇気あれば GO GO GO!!

君となら Yeah!!

もっと 強く!!
My proud Pokétch shines in a pink light
When you're lost, just use Coin Toss
I'm always looking for what's in front of me
I'll become stronger, by your side, We'll grow together
When I say "Do your best"
I want to tell you "No need to worry"
If we just try, GO GO GO!!

If I'm with you, Yeah!!
Together we'll Step!!
With a big Jump!!
Can we conquer them?
All the mountains, every valley, without any fear?

With everyone, Yeah!!
Together let's Step!!
To tomorrow now Jump!!
I want to feel the moment right now
Let's run, jump and ride on the wind
And get stronger!

Full version

The lyrics for all versions are identical except for the NEW Arrangement Version sung in character by Dawn (Megumi Toyoguchi) included on The Greatest - Everyday!, which replaces the line 走り出そう 僕たちは with 走り出そう わたしたちは. It additionally has the line いくわよ! チャームアップ! (Let's go! Charm up!) spoken before the start of the song, though this line is not included in the lyrics in the booklet included with the CD release.
