Setting the Scene:
Near the small town of Tomonoura, a small fish named Brunhilde escapes the clutches of her father. She swims and gets caught in a fishing trawler, and gets caught in a glass jar. Brunhilde gets swept to shore where she is found by a young boy named Sosuke. He names her Ponyo...

In the town of Tomonoura
On side by the bay
On the cliff by sea
Where she was always meant to be
Sosuke we’re gonna be late
Sosuke we’re gonna be late
Feelings drive me crazy
When I just wanted to be
Held on the cliff by the sea
Maybe it’s me
And I have lost it again
I’ll just throw myself into the ocean
Until Koichi gets back
Living in the town over Tomonoura
Everybody knows each other well
It’s about time
Somebody looked in the growing ocean
Sosuke we’re gonna be late
Sosuke I’m serious now
Sosuke we’re gonna be late
Sosuke I’m leaving you now
Feelings drive me crazy
When I just wanted to be
Held on the cliff by the sea
Maybe it’s me
And I have lost it again
I’ll just throw myself into the ocean
Until Koichi gets back

Ponyo Part 1

I hate my father
He never seems to see me in me
I never knew my mother
But she’s always in the back of my mind
I’m hinting towards another life
To escape the pains of an empty heart untold
Maybe I’ll find a way
To live alone
I’ll say goodbye to my kids
You’ll never know the pain I feel
When I’m leaving home
I’m hinting towards another life
To escape the pains of an empty heart untold
Maybe I’ll find a way
To live alone
I’m hinting towards another life
To escape the pains of an empty heart untold
Maybe I’ll find a way
To live on my own

It’s so hard to watch my daughter walk away from me
I’m just trying to be the right guy
But she has duties to this ocean
It’s not something she can just leave behind
I’m starting to see the end of the tunnel
She really hates me
There’s nothing I can do about that
I’ll send the waves for her
I’ll send the fish for her
I just need my daughter back
I always carry a stencil of regret
Maybe she can paint the cliff by the sea on my back
I’m starting to see the end of the tunnel
She really hates me
There’s nothing I can do about that
I’ll send the waves for her
I’ll send the fish for her
I just need my daughter back
I’m starting to see the end of the tunnel
She really hates me
There’s nothing I can do about that
I’ll send the waves for her
I’ll send the fish for her
I just need my daughter back
For the good of the world
For the balance of the world
I really need her in my world

Finding Lisa

The water has risen more than ever before
It’s now two feet at our doorsteps
Mom’s not home, Ponyo
Let’s go search the flood at our feet
Let’s get this boat started!
It feels like we’ve been out here for days
Even though it’s only been 20 minutes
I see a couple people ahead
I’ll go ask them if they’ve seen Lisa
Lisa where is Lisa
Ponyo keep going ahead
Lisa where is Lisa
Sosuke we’re going to find her
I see the shore ahead of us
I see my car a ways ahead
Ponyo we’re really here
Ponyo we’re really here
Ponyo, our toy boat’s getting smaller
Ponyo, you’re turning into a fish again
Ponyo is your magic gone?
My mom’s not here

On the night before the oceans crashed around the house
She met Fujimoto near the falling moon around the ocean’s bay
The stars gazed down towards an awkward couple
Who had never before been introduced
She can stay here one more night
If love is real and love is right
But the test she will face
And the magic won’t sustain
She really loves him
And Sosuke better love her back
I hope for your sake
That she doesn’t come back as sea foam
But she won’t, I know it
The Love is too strong
She can stay here one more night
If love is real and love is right
But the test she will face
And the magic won’t sustain
She really loves him
And Sosuke better love her back

My mind is drifting towards you Sosuke
My magic has stopped
It’s only 100 feet to the
End of the tunnel
My one wish is to live with you
As a human and not as a curse
But only you can make this true
With your love shown before me
Why do you do this to me world?
I’m hinting towards another life
To escape the pains of an empty heart untold
Maybe I’ll find a way
To live with Sosuke

I returned to the town of Tomonoura
After being left out at sea
Nevermind my naval journey
It’s good to be home with you Lisa
Out here in this town
Everybody knows each other god damn well
Out here in this town
A goddess of mercy helped me escape peril
Sosuke
Thank you
For opening my eyes to the world
I’m needed a lot more here than I really thought
I won’t leave you again
On the cliff by the sea
She waited for me
I never came
On the cliff by the sea
I will always stay
Until my next call
Out here in this town
Everybody knows each other god damn well
Out here in this town
A goddess of mercy helped me escape peril
Sosuke
Thank you
For opening my eyes to the world
I’m needed a lot more here than I really thought
I won’t leave you again
Sosuke
Thank you
For opening my eyes to the world
