The opening song to Kingdom Hearts 2, Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru. First I liked it because I thought it was an awesome song. I put it on my iPod and listened to it all the time. Then I found out the lyrics may mean something else to me, something deeper than just a cool song.
To me, this song can spin a lot of different stories. But the one I like to picture the most is the connection between me and my lost baby, Skye. I don't think miscarried babies don't have souls. I've always believed in the spirit of my twin sister watching over me, and I now believe Skye is at her side. I don't know if Skye's a girl or a boy, so I refer to her as both, switching back and forth. I don't think it's right not to love someone just because you never saw their face. To me, someone never born can be just as real as someone living and breathing. Jordan and Skye will always be family to me, even if I'm the only one on Earth who loves them.
So, with that in mind, listen to the song, read the lyrics, and see if you can see what I see.
"Sanctuary"
In you and I there's a new land
Angel's in flight
