When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
I’m in my usual park
I can see the night scenery
On the slide
That’s been my special seat for years
Whenever I’m worried about something, I come here
Just like then, I’m on my way to my dreams
But unable to fulfil them
“Maybe this is the end of the line”
There are days when I say weak things like that
But every time, I remember
That starry sky where I looked for a shooting star
The wish I made when I was little
Hasn’t changed even now
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
Hiding out in the schoolyard at night with my mates
We climbed the wire netting
The field seemed to have a different face than during the day
We headed for our sea called the pool
We didn’t have swimming trunks, so we were all stark naked
Someone jumped in with a strange yell
The splash echoed through the night
“After him!” Everyone else piled in
We floated gently, looking up at the sky
Looked at the stars in front of us, and talked about heaps of dreams
And looked for that shooting star
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
Looking up at the sky, there are countless stars
The same number now that there was years ago
My dreams are endless and crazy
Incredibly bright, like that star
Looking up at the sky, there are countless stars
The same number now that there was years ago
My dreams are endless and crazy
Incredibly bright, like that star
Hey! If you keep hanging your head like that
You won’t even be able to see the things you can see
Look up at the sky, keep your head up!!
Hey! “What do you think of the sky you see?”
Someday, like that shining star…
I wanna shine
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star..
Lirik lagu di atas adalah salah satu OST Naruto Shippuden. lagu ini kurang lebihnya menceritakan isi perasaan sang tokoh utama yaitu Naruto. Sejak kecil dia bertemu dengan seorang teman yang namanya Sasuke. Namun Sasuke lebih memilih jalan hitam untuk menjadi lebih kuat, walaupun sama-sama digunakan untuk melawan musuh Naruto. Sasuke mempunyai bakat luar biasa, belajar jurus baru dalam waktu singkat. Sedangkan Naruto perlu waktu lama dan kerja keras untuk menyamai Sasuke. Naruto bertekad untuk membawa kembali Sasuke menjadi temannya, untuk itu dia harus lebih kuat dari Sasuke. Berkali-kali dia gagal membawa pulang Sasuke, karena setiap bertemu, Sasuke menjadi lebih kuat. Terkadang dia berpikir apakah usaha yang selama ini dilakukan dapat mengalahkan sebuah bakat luar biasa. Ketika memandangi bintang-bintang, mereka bercahaya dengan warna cahayanya masing-masing. Mungkin hal ini sama dengan orang-orang di bumi, mereka memiliki kelebihannya masing-masing yang seharusnya bisa menampakkan cahayanya. Itulah sebuah semangat, yang tak kan pernah habis, tak kan bisa dikalahkan oleh apapun. Sehingga dalam lirik lagu itu seolah dia berkata “Hey! If you keep hanging your head like that
You won’t even be able to see the things you can see, Look up at the sky, keep your head up!!, Hey! “What do you think of the sky you see?”, Someday, like that shining star…I wanna shine..
