Update December 11: We have compiled interpretations of the English lyrics and the translations of the Japanese lyrics, which you can read below.
English:
breath... should i take a deep...?
faith... should i take a leap...
taste... what a bittersweet...
all my, all my life.
let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
won't be long, won't be long, i'm almost here
watch me cry all my tears.
Japanese:
Hey, exactly how much
Hey, can I smile?
I want to tell you something
Despite all this
let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
I don't need you to say that my map is useless
I'll run my own path.
An extra line in the Japanese version can be heard on Utada Hikaru's website, where she seems to sing: "Hey, ever since I was born..."
Thanks to aitaikimochi for the translation for the lyrics and KH13's Solis for the extra line's translation!

Following last week's announcement of Sora coming to Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (JP), the collaboration was also announced at the Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Fan Festa 2018 to come to the Global version of the game as well! During the announcement, additional footage of Sora's FFBE avatar in action was shown. Check out his sprite and the announcement trailer below!
Furthermore, another character along with Sora has been teased to make an appearance in FFBE! It was said that Sora will not be alone in FFBE. The identity of the other character(s) was not revealed; fortunately, the collaboration event is "not too far into the future."
Banners in FFBE usually display a group of 3-4 featured characters (with a higher chance to pull); a minimum of two Kingdom Hearts characters was therefore expected, and now corroborated by this announcement. There is a possibility of even more Kingdom Hearts characters joining the game.
You can watch the full stream here.
What other character would you like to see in FFBE apart from Sora? Let us know in the comments!
