Serah's Theme

"Serah's Theme" is a prominent theme in Final Fantasy XIII. It is Serah Farron's leitmotif and as such, it plays when Serah is featured or mentioned in the story, mainly during cutscenes that show flashbacks of Serah's life before the Purge.

This theme shares a melody with that of "FINAL FANTASY XIII - The Promise", "In the Sky That Night", "Forever Fugitives", "Sunleth Waterscape", "The Archylte Steppe", "Fabula Nova Crystallis", "FINAL FANTASY XIII - Miracles", "Determination", "Ending Credits", and the battle results screen music. Lyric-wise, "Sunleth Waterscape" is notably more brief and reflective than "Serah's Theme".

In the English version of the game, "Serah's Theme" is played during the scene of the fireworks festival, in place of "Eternal Love" in the Japanese version.

Japanese Version
Make my wish come true, let darkness slip aside Hiding all our hope, mocking what we treasure Battles we can win, if we believe our souls Hang in for the light, till dawn Fate will not leave you, hate will not heal you Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere

English Version
Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light Show me there's still hope, show me it's not over Battles we can win, our struggle lies within Will we live to greet the dawn? Love will not leave you, hate will not heal you Promise me one day that peace shall reign
