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

I need more affection than you know
Itsumademo nemutte ita
My fears my lies
Aozora no shita
I need more affection than you know
