Sanctuary is the song from the opening AMV of Kingdom Hearts II. It is sung by Utada Hikaru. It was written and produced by Hikaru before it's Japanese counterpart Passion. Both the English and the Japanese versions of the song are sung by Utada. "Sanctuary", like "Passion", includes several instances of reversed lyrics throughout the song.

Beyond the language in which they are sung, "Passion" and "Sanctuary" have only minor differences, such as some of the reversed lyrics. However, in both the Japanese and English versions of the song, the reversed portions are sung in English. Played throughout the song is "I need more affection than you know"; in the "battleground" stanza, "So many ups and downs" and "I need true emotions" are played.

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
My 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
My 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

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
My 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
