BETTER TIMES WILL COME
Japanese lyric adaptation: Takahiro Maeda, executive producer, Japan
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
きっと試されている 愛は幻想だろう？と
だったら今証明しよう 愛は幻想じゃない
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
きっと試されている 船出の覚悟を
だったら見せよう証明しよう 嵐も越えよう

今こそ 学ぶとき
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
Oh Better times will come
