This song's message "everyone has a heart higher than the sky and deeper than the sea" is very famous as a Toshihiko Niizawa & Hirotaka Nakagawa hit.
Many of their songs children enjoy singing such as "Rainbow" and "Children All Over the World".
"Higher than the Sky" chorus also has the feature of partially utilizing the melody of "Auld Lang Syne."
Auld Lang Syne was originally a Scottish folk song stating "toast to the encounter". In Japan, it's known as statement of farewell.
(Hiroki Takahashi)
