LYRICS:
Living life when were young
Trying to find where we belonged
Never thought those days would see an end
Mirror, mirror do you see
The misery roaming in the streets
Doesn’t mean a thing, got to look ahead now
And leave it all behind me
With all your might
Take the fragments of your past
And let them flow into the sands of time
You’ll be alright
You must believe
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned
It’s that the truth will always lie with me
It’s in my heart
Tomorrow waits
So come what may
I’ll keep the faith until that day
From the night the stars aligned
Knew we’d be close for quite some time
Guess the heavens had a plan for us
Every day we gave our all
Making dreams happen, big or small
All these memories light a fire in me
And keep the passion burning
There comes a time
When you’ll have to fight with all you have
To know what matters in your life
That’s when you’ll realize
It’s up to you
So from now until the end
I’m gonna make all of my dreams come true
I will follow my heart
Our future’s bright
So we will fight
With heads held high
We’ll make things right
Just say the word and I’ll be there
Yes, anytime and anywhere
The bond that we have: forever strong
I am a friend you can count on
Never forget when we’re apart
We are as one under the stars
It’s okay for us to say goodbye
With all your might
Take the fragments of your past
And let them flow into the sands of time
You’ll be alright
You must believe
If there’s one thing that I know
It’s that the truth will always lie with me
It’s in my heart
Tomorrow waits
So come what may
I’ll keep the faith until that day
I will follow my heart…
It’s in my heart…
I’ll follow my heart…

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m so glad to have been able to share this cover of the P5 ending song with you. The messages within it hold a special place in my heart, and I hope they reach more people who need to hear these words. A big thank you to The Consouls for making this cover possible.

This song hits me hard Mostly cause it’s my senior year and I’ll soon be going off to collage and won’t be coming home after I leave.. edit: this song hits even harder now. I dropped out of collage, never moved back home and kept pushing through despite all the depression i endured. The reason the song hits harder now is because all of my friends from high school are long gone on their own journey in life and i dont talk to any of them but one, who now Im not close to anymore. Remember guys if you hold on life wont change. Your friend groups have to end and your friendships need to conclude one day.

[@sampappas6934]

This song has a such a warm and nostalgic feeling to it. It's like saying goodbye to some friends after you spend the day hanging out and walking home as the sun begins to set. I'm a college student who lives on campus, and I find myself listening to this track a lot when I'm on my way back to my dorm at like 4am. The place is dark and empty, but it's a pleasant kind of solitude. Sure, you feel lonely now, but you got people who care about you. You'll see them later anyway, so don't sweat it. Sometimes i listen to this song after a really stressful class or studying or something and the line: "Leave it all behind me" Just clicks with me mentally and it's like I can reset the inertia of everything that's bothering me and put my mind at ease. Thanks, Sapphire. I don't know much about the construction of music, but something about your smooth, reassuring lyrics and the bluesy style of this song hits just right. Please never stop making music.

[@BlueRainbow101]

3:50 the goosebumps are real. It's definitely my favorite part of the song.

When I finally beat Persona 5, after what seemed like being stuck on the last 2 palaces for an eternity, the last cut scene played out, Joker's friends saying goodbye and driving him back home. Then came the credits. GOD I love this game! As I'm setting through the credits at 1am, feelings washed over me. Happy because I finally beat the game, but sad because I felt like a grand and amazing story finally came to an end. The story of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, characters who I fell in love with, have escaped death, ruin, beaten countless enemies, reformed society, took down a literal God, and are finally moving on to a normal life. Can we all just take a moment to just appreciate Persona 5 and the Phantom Thieves and how fantastic this game truly is? Thank you.

Thank you for all you do, Sapphire. I've been struggling these last few months not just with all that's going on in the world, but with the unfortunate suicide of one of my best friends and most favorite people. He took his own life in early July because he felt detached from the world and depressed after not being able to see his loved ones for months. He had big dreams and was actively working on fulfilling them. I related to and love him so much, and it's this song that helps me through those tough times. I'm able to see him on the other side now, and I know that he's tearing up and bopping his head to this song too.
