Lyrics[]

Are we strangers in the space

Looking for the place unknown

We're just leaning on the breeze

Saying not to give it up

Can we find the truth behind us

When the long journey ends

Are we wrapped in mysteries

Walking down the winding roads

Can we find the reason why we are

In this world of trials

Here comes the breeze that's whispering in peace

So full of lights shining in colors

"Don't be afraid, just keep on trying in your way

And you will see a holy sight".

Are we strangers in the space

Reaching out for a dream unknown

Now we feel our minds are flying high

In this world of liberty

Here comes the breeze that's whispering again

So full of lights shining in colors

"Listen to me, just keep on trying in your way

Get the courage to open the door

And soon you'll be free".

• A list of background and sound effects created during the planning stages of Final Fantasy III titles the piece as "Unei's Cave, Doga's Shrine." It also includes the notation "(Nariken's favorite song)", though it is unclear as to what "Nariken" refers to.^[1]
