Lyrics
Although the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" does not feature lyrics in itself, the  trailers feature lyrics in English, Japanese and Korean. These are the English lyrics:


 * Sleepers wake
 * Dreams will fade
 * Although we cling fast
 * Was it real?
 * What we saw?
 * I believe
 * Lost in dreams
 * We sleep on
 * Tossing and turning
 * Stay with me
 * By my side
 * Never leave
 * What if the worst comes?
 * If someday this sweet reverie ends
 * We too
 * Our memories
 * For real
 * Fade us by
 * Dream with me
 * By the sea
 * We watch the waves crash
 * Hold my hand
 * Think of me
 * And I'll fly
