Welcome to our Video Games: Song Covers segment. Here I’ll be singing some of your favourite and most requested video game tracks.

Here I’m performing “New World” from the Final Fantasy XIII-2 soundtrack. This song is the main theme for the Japanese Xbox 360 and Western releases of the game. “New World” is heard during the game’s ending scenes, and was originally performed by Filipina singer Charice Pempengco. The Final Fantasy XIII-2 soundtrack was composed by Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta and Mitsuto Suzuki.

I hope you enjoy listening to my vocal rendition!

Lyrics:

Staring the stars, feeling the winds every time
I cannot stop thinkin’ of you
Since you’ve been gone away from here
Shedding the tears, crying out loud for once
‘Cause you are such a precious part of me
And there’s no one who’ll fill my broken heart

Oh, but now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
Even you have left me here alone
I found a way where I can get hope for the future

Baby, I’m gonna see the New World
With nothin’ but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I’m gonna go to the New World
With nothin’ but the strength you gave me

There’s nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don’t wanna give up my home

Having a dream, basking in the sun everyday
I’m startin’ to think that I’m still here
Though the pain of loss still hurts me
Makin’ me smile, makin’ me laugh many times
Everything is gentle to me because you are makin’ it so

And now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
It’s not to lose one I truly need
I will make sure we feel the beautiful days together

Baby, I’m gonna see the New World
With nothin’ but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I’m gonna go to the New World
With nothin’ but the strength you gave me

There’s nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don’t wanna give up my home

Pray for all of the things in this world
And believe in the power of our love
Sing a song of tomorrow
Now we are not alone; we come to life again
A new day will come to you
For you and me

Baby, I’m gonna see the New World
With nothin’ but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I’m gonna go to the New World
With nothin’ but the strength you gave me

There’s nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where we should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for us
I don’t wanna give up our home…
