"Sanctuary" and its Japanese counterpart "Passion" are a pair of songs written and sung by Utada Hikaru. They are main themes of the Kingdom Hearts series.
There are two main variations of the pieces: "Sanctuary (Opening)" and "Passion -opening version-", which are the original versions of the songs, and the softer "Sanctuary (Ending)" and "Passion -after the battle-"[1].
An instrumental arrangement of the piece titled "Passion -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-" was introduced in Kingdom Hearts II, arranged by Kaoru Wada and performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.

Composition
"Passion" was originally released on Utada's Ultra Blue album and reached #2 in the Oricon Singles Chart in 2006. "Sanctuary (Opening)" was first released on the album This Is the One as a bonus track.
In both languages, the song contains reversed lyrics, sung by Utada. The reversed lyrics are in English in both versions. They include "My heart's a battleground", "I need more affection than you know", "So many ups and downs", and "I need true emotions".
"Sanctuary (Ending)" and "Passion -after the battle" are very similar to the original versions. These arrangements are much quieter for most of the song until the ending, which uses a faster instrumental than the rest of the song.
Passion -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-
Lyrics
- In you and I there's a new land
- Angels in flight
- A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
- Where fears and lies melt away
- Music will tie
- 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
- A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
- Where fears and lies melt away
- Music will tie
- What's left of me, what's left of me
- So many ups and downs
- My heart's a battleground
- 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
- A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
- Where fears and lies melt away
- Music will tie
- What's left of me, what's left of me now
- 思い出せば遥か遥か
- 未来はどこまでも輝いてた
- きれいな青空の下で
- 僕らは少しだけ怯えていた
- 懐かしい色に窓が染まる
- 前を向いてればまた会えますか
- 未来はどこへでも続いてるんだ
- 大きな看板の下で
- 時代の移ろいを見ていたいな
- 人知れず
- My heart's a battleground
- 二度と会えぬ人に場所に
- 窓を開ける
- 思い出せば遥か遥か
- 未来はどこまでも輝いてた
- きれいな青空の下で
- 僕らはいつまでも眠っていた
- Omoidaseba haruka haruka
- Mirai wa doko made mo kagayai teta
- Kireina aozora no shita de
- Bokura wa sukoshi dake obiete ita
- Natsukashī iro ni mado ga somaru
- Mae o mui tereba mata aemasu ka
- Mirai wa doko e demo tsudzui teru nda
- Ōkina kanban no shita de
- Jidai no utsuroi o mite itai na
- Hitoshirezu
- My heart's a battleground
- Nidoto aenu hito ni basho ni
- Madowoakeru
- Omoidaseba haruka haruka
- Mirai wa doko made mo kagayai teta
- Kireina aozora no shita de
- Bokura wa itsu made mo nemutte ita
- When I remember far far back
- The future was bright for as far as I can see
- Underneath the beautiful blue sky
- We were a little afraid
- The windows are becoming stained with a nostalgic color
- If I face forward will I meet you again?
- The future continues on and on
- Underneath a large signboard
- I want to watch as the times change
- Hidden
- My heart's a battleground
- I open the window
- To those people and places I can never go to
- When I remember far far back
- The future was bright for as far as I can see
- Underneath the beautiful blue sky
- We would keep sleeping
- 思い出せば遥か遥か
- 未来はどこまでも輝いてた
- きれいな青空の下で
- 僕らは少しだけ怯えていた
- 懐かしい色に窓が染まる
- 前を向いてればまた会えますか
- 未来はどこへでも続いてるんだ
- 大きな看板の下で
- 時代の移ろいを見ていたいな
- 二度と会えぬ人に場所に
- 窓を開ける
- 思い出せば遥か遥か
- 未来はどこまでも輝いてた
- きれいな青空の下で
- 僕らはいつまでも眠っていた
- ずっと前に好きだった人
- 冬に子供が産まれるそうだ
- 昔からの決まり事を
- たまに疑いたくなるよ
- ずっと忘れられなかったの
- 年賀状は写真付きかな
- わたしたちに出来なかったことを
- とても懐かしく思うよ
- Omoidaseba haruka haruka
- Mirai wa doko made mo kagayai teta
- Kireina aozora no shita de
- Bokura wa sukoshi dake obiete ita
- Natsukashī iro ni mado ga somaru
- Mae o mui tereba mata aemasu ka
- Mirai wa doko e demo tsudzui teru nda

- Omoidaseba haruka haruka
- Mirai wa doko made mo kagayai teta
- Kireina aozora no shita de
- Bokura wa itsu made mo nemutte ita
- Zutto mae ni sukidatta hito
- Fuyu ni kodomo ga umareru sōda
- Mukashikara no kimari-goto o
- Tamani utagaitaku naru yo
- Zutto wasure rarenakatta no
- Nengajō wa shashin-tsuki ka na
- Watashi-tachi ni dekinakatta koto o
- Totemo natsukashiku omou yo
- When I remember far far back
- The future was bright for as far as I can see
- Underneath the beautiful blue sky
- We were a little afraid
- The windows are becoming stained with a nostalgic color
- If I face forward will I meet you again?
- The future continues on and on

- I open the window
- To those people and places I can never go to
- When I remember far far back
- The future was bright for as far as I can see
- Underneath the beautiful blue sky
- We would keep sleeping
- Someone I liked a long time ago
- It seems that a child will be born in winter
- The rules from the old days
- Sometimes I want to doubt
- I've never forgotten
- Is the New Year's card with a photo?
- What we couldn't do
- I miss you very much
