Album Cover of Passion (Sanctuary)

Sanctuary is the theme song of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is sung and written by Utada Hikaru.

It's Japanese counterpart is called Passion and it reached #2 in the Oricon Singles Chart in 2006.

Both versions of the song contain reversed lyrics. In Passion they are voiced by Hikaru but in Sanctuary they're not. The reversed lyrics are in English in both versions. They include; "My heart's a battle ground" which is played in English in the Japanese version of the song. The reversed portion of the songs are "I need more affection than you know"; in the "Battleground" sections, "So many ups and downs" and "I need true emotions" are the two other examples of the reversed lyrics.

At the end of both, Kingdom hearts II and 358/2 Day, there is an instrumental version of the song.

Lyrics

English Version (Sanctuary)

I need more affection than you know

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music inside
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me, what's left of me now

I watch you
Fast asleep
All I fear means nothing

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music can tie
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me, what's left of me

So many ups and downs
My heart's a battleground
I need true emotions
I need more affection than you know
I need true emotions

You show me how to see
That nothing is whole
And nothing is broken

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music inside
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me, what's left of me now

My fears, my lies
Melt away

I need more affection than you know

Japanese Version (Passion)

I need more affection than you know

Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa
I need more affection than you know
Doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa
I need more affection than you know
Sukoshi dake obiete ita

Natsukashii iro ni
Mado ga somaru

Mae wo muiteru no
Mata aemasu ka
Mirai wa
I need more affection than you know
Doko e demo tsuzuiteru 'n da
Ooki na kanban no shita de
Jidai no
I need more affection than you know
Utsuroi wo mite itai na

Hitoshirezu
My heart's a battleground
I need true emotions
I need more affection than you know
I need true emotions

Nido to aenu
Hito ni basho ni
Mado wo akeru

Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa
I need more affection than you know
Doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa
I need more affection than you know
Itsumademo nemutte ita

My fears my lies
Aozora no shita

I need more affection than you know
