You're engulfed in cheers of "Congratulations"
You have definite memories of that moment that you chased after forever
With a pounding heart, you're looking up to the sky
You're standing here right now, believe in yourself
Hey you, the strength of being filled with so much excitement that it hurts
Don't be burdened by it, and show us a smile in the end
Show us a smile
Cheers of "thank you" echo out
Miracles happen at this place that everyone has dreamed about being at
Praying, quietly closing your eyes
Your battle begins right now
Please, the new strength from all this excitement, winning or losing
Don't be burdened by it, and show us a smile in the end
Show us a smile
One day soon, this gathering will quietly come to an end
Beyond words, beyond everything, everyone will become one
Hey you, the strength of being filled with so much excitement that it hurts
Don't be burdened by it, and show us a smile in the end
When running and when standing still, be sure to relish
The words "give it your best", from the bottom of your heart; Show us a smile
Hey you, flapping your wings freely, your smile shining
This beloved country is watching you
Hey you, flapping your wings freely, your smile shining
This beloved country is watching you
