Calling (Advent Children)

Calling is the main theme of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It plays during the second part of the credits, which depict Cloud riding along a highway in the countryside. Although the sequences in which Cloud is shown in detail are CGI, other parts of the video in which he is absent were shot in New Zealand.

Lyrics
The lyrics to Calling were written and sung by Kyosuke Himuro

English translation
I wonder how many sleepless nights you have to count, before you find your way After how many lives are lost, will the strife end? Clowns that cannot be saved, just tumbling atop of history Like someone said one day before The answer is in the wind

How many times does your face have to be hit as you turned it away, before you stop pretending you don't notice? How much pain must you endure, before you smile freely? If you're going to accept defeat again, still bound by rusted chains Like someone said one day before The answer is in the wind

With your voice strained and your hands gripping tightly Waiting for the time when your destiny is sure to change With the faint power of a tiny love Always waiting for your sadness to be embraced

Pitiful frauds working their puzzles of lies Foolish romanticists who gracefully entertain with clumsiness And the premonition of the coming of the day when history will tell you nothing Like someone said one day before The answer is in the wind

With your voice strained and your hands gripping tightly Waiting for the time when your destiny is sure to change With the faint power of a tiny love Always waiting for your sadness to be embraced
