Spinning Globe

 Theme Song / Lyric from

Hayao Miyazaki's 2023 film

The Boy and the Heron

Studio Ghibli -- a fantasy film

The clear sky on the day I was born

was so high, distant, and endless

The day I heard a voice patting me 

on the back telling me to go ahead


Faces I met in the seasons,

at time hurting one another

Shine by the light, the shadow

extends as the sky grows further away


I catch the wind and start running, overcoming

the rubble

At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me

Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week

Open the door this moment, like revealing

hidden secrets

Can't hold myself longing for more,

like the spinning globe


The person I loved has gone to somewhere

no one knows

With the usual kind smile as any other day,

still somewhere far away


I take in the rain and start singing, not

minding if seen

This road continues because I wished

it would continue

I dream of meeting again, for ever and ever

I grasped the fragment firmly, so the secret remains

I'll keep longing till the end,

like the spinning globe


It all starts from an innocent wish made long ago

Carrying the loneliness in my heart, I turn the corner


I catch the wind and start running, overcoming 

the rubble

At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me

Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week

Open the door this moment, like revealing 

hidden secrets

The joy of holding one's hand, the suffering of

losing one

Can't hold myself from picturing, 

like the spinning globe
