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.
