In-game English Lyrics=
<poem>
There in the distance
a bird awaits your embrace
With folded wings
it won't fly anywhere without you
Within its time-worn cage
those days fall out of memory
They all fade away
into the blinding light

Won't someone please hear my call?
Shouting up to the skies
Shouting up to beyond the skies
thinking of you

The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
can't compare to the longing I feel
Though the way is long and dark
my love will find a way to you

The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky
The falling rain surrounds me
like a gentle wave washing away
all of my wishes

Can someone tell me,
how long has it been
since I last saw the light of day?
Yet even the faintest light
brings my pain back to me

Won't someone please take my wings?
These wings can't fly
but if they could
I'd fly away from this pain

The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
Whenever I close my eyes
I see an image of you in my heart
fading into the darkness

The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
can't compare to the longing I feel
Though the way is long and dark
my love will find a way to you

The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky
The falling rain surrounds me
like a gentle wave washing away
all of my wishes

The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart

The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky

The distance to heaven

<poem>
遥か遠くであなたを持つ一羽の鳥
翼を折りたたみ
どこにも飛ばず佇む
錆びた籠の中朧げになった日々は
薄れていくほどに
美しい色を放つ

だれか私の声を
どうか届けてください
あの空へ
あの雲間へ 
あなたの眠る麓へ

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
鳴き声を上げるように 
静かに閉ざされた
空が口を開けてゆく
The distance to heaven 
The distance to sky
優しい雨が落ちる 
濁った私の淡い願いなど
濯い流すように

時はどれくらい私を隠したのだろう
微かな光さえ
痛みを覚えてゆく

だれか私の羽を
どうか千切ってください
選べない自由ならば 
いっそ持たずに行きたい

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
まぶたに刻みつけた
あなたの面影が
漆黒の闇に溶ける
The distance to heaven 
The distance to sky
冷たい雨は落ちる
握りしめた手のひらの熱を
奪い拭うように

閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
未来を紡いで落ちてく黒鳥
閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
あなたを思って落ちてく黒鳥
閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
未来を紡いで 落ちてく黒鳥

(Why am I standing here alone?)
水圧に犯される感情 
(Where am I standing right now?)
水の中に消えてくざわめき
(Why am I standing here alone?)
沈みながら私は思った
あの空を
あの雲間を 
あなたの笑顔を

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
鳴き声を上げるように 
静かに閉ざされた
空が口を開けてゆく
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
優しい雨が落ちる 
濁っ私の淡い願いなど
濯い流すように
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart 
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky 
The distance to heaven

Haruka tōku de anata o motsu ichiwa no tori
Tsubasa o oritatami
Doko ni mo tobazu tatazumu
Sabita kago no naka oboroge ni natta hibi wa
Usurete iku hodo ni
Utsukushī iro o hanatsu

Dare ka watashi no koe o
Dōka todokete kudasai
Ano sora e
Ano kumoma e
Anata no nemuru fumoto e

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
Nakigoe o ageru yōni
Shizuka ni tozasareta
Sora ga kuchi o akete yuku
The distance to heaven 
The distance to sky
Yasashī ame ga ochiru
Nigotta watashi no awai negai nado
Arai nagasu yōni

Toki wa dore kurai watashi o kakushita no darou
Kasukana hikari sae
Itami o oboete yuku

Dare ka watashi no hane o
Dōka chigitte kudasai
Erabenai jiyuu naraba 
Isso motazu ni ikitai

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
Mabuta ni kizami tsuketa
Anata no omokage ga
Shikkoku no yami ni tokeru
The distance to heaven 
The distance to sky
Tsumetai ame wa ochiru
Nigirishimeta te no hira no netsu o

Tozashita torikago tozashita ryōashi
Mitai wo tsumuide ochiteku kokuchō
Tozashita torikago tozashita ryōashi
Anata wo omotte ochiteku kokuchō
Tozashita torikago tozashita ryōashi
Mitai wo jubuite ochiteku kokuchō

(Why am I standing here alone?)
Suiatsu ni okasareru kanjō
(Where am I standing right now?)
Mizu no naka ni kieteku zawameki
(Why am I standing here alone?)
Shizumi nagara watashi wa omotta
Ano sora o

Anata no egao o

The distance to heaven 
The distance from my heart
Nakigoe o ageru yōni
Shizuka ni tozasareta

The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
Yasashī ame ga ochiru
Nigotta watashi no awai negai nado

The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart 
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky 
The distance to heaven
