Matching pace with chosen[1] comrades,
Passing the long hours of this lengthy journey,

Talking about the road ahead together,
Let’s make a single, grand dream come true here and now

There are times when friends become rivals, but
By encouraging each other[2], forgiving each other, we shine together

I’ll believe in tomorrow, and shake off my hesitation
To the stage that I’ve longed for
The person I want to be, that I’ve seen in my dreams
Bit by bit I’ll run there[3]

That’s right, it’s still too soon
There’s still much that I can do,
Looking towards the heavens
I will reach out my hand for what's held before me
A future where I'm shining, sending off a dazzling light

1. The word here is the same as when he’s talking about the winners of the first poll.
2. I put “encourage” because I wasn’t sure how else to fit it in. It’s like, “to enhance” or “to boost”? The closest I could get was “to raise each other up,” but even then I wasn’t sure.
3. I wasn’t sure how to word this as well, since “running there” is only part of it. He’s running, but he’s also rising to it? Something like that.
4. Putting up the short version for the sake of consistency and completeness and whatnot.
5. Adding an extra note to mention that I changed the line "A future where I'm shining, sending off a dazzling light" to "The future I’ve chosen shines a dazzling light" for better accuracy
