Childhood memories~ :]
I remember when I was little, I would pop this into my VHS when I was bored.
I never payed any attention to the story until I got older.

This song is played when Kiki, the witch, leaves her village on her broomstick during a clear night of a full moon with her best friend Jiji the cat in hopes of finding somewhere to live and begin her training for a year.

Ripped directly from the movie audio track so I don't have a download link for this song just yet ): SORRY!

LYRICS
--------------
My heart is ready to beat
I can feel the wind underneath my feet
I'm gonna jump over the moon
hands in the air, waving up like a balloon
I'm free as a bird
lost in the stars and waving down to earth
don't know where I'm gonna land
but you gotta wobble before you stand
*
I'm soaring
I'm alone and on my own
I'm soaring and I know my heart will lead me home
Just look in my eyes
can't you see I'm not the same today
I can see farther now, step off the edge
I'm making my own way
don't know where I'm gonna land
but you gotta wobble before you stand
* repeat
And I know that I gonna touch the skies
* repeat
I'm soaring
I'm alone and on my own
I'm soaring and I know my heart will lead me home

Please do not rage post about how dubs are terrible and this wasn't as good as the Japanese version. I'll gladly accept posts gently expressing personal opinion but I'd like to keep a healthy comment box :]

Man, Jijis German voice is far better and matching to the character of the cat as intended. The US version went too much US american and lost a lot of the nippon charme.

[Reiizm]

@NoMac90 Hmm, that's really interesting. I'll have to listen to the German version.

I grew up on the US American version so it sounds perfectly normal to me, especially since I've never heard the Japanese voices. The US American voice actor for Jiji passed away after this ):

@papershadow69 I know!!! I was so pissed!!!!

[papershadow69]

I really want to find some way to listen to these, but the version of the DVD I got from 2010 doesn't have the two songs from the original American release.

Anyone know where I can find the two songs from the US release?

for some reason the dvd version of disney's dub has the original japanese version rather than the english version

This movie was one of my favorites when growing up. I love this song and the one at the end. I wished I could fly like Kiki even now when I'm 20 yrs old. Man I miss my childhood sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

[xXxTakkyxXx]

I love this song so bloody much. If only I could buy this and the other from the movie somewhere.

[l4dybu61]

I wish this was on the DVD... It's only on the VHS I used to watch when I was little!

[amarinimokawai]
