Coincidentally (or intentional?) with the release of FF7 Rebirth final trailer on February 7 2024, Takeharu Ishimoto released the acoustic arrangement of Price of Freedom ~I Want to See You Smile. I feel like it's sort of gift for Zack's role that is expanded on FF7 Rebirth. So I wanna share it here.

FYI, it's an official lyrics version of the infamous CCFF7 OST "The Price of Freedom". The band version was first released on September 17, 2014 on Square Enix JP official soundcloud within the album "The Death March" (https://www.jp.square-enix.com/music/sem/page/tdm/).

Lyrics:
Lying next to you, I'm holding your hand
Your gentle eyes of beauty bringing peace to me now
The silent breeze so soft it passes right through my arms
I'm wishing that this moment lasts a little bit more
You saved me through the rocky roads
You gave me half of your precious soul
I want to hear you laugh some more
Don't want to see you go
CHORUS #1:
All the times we fought, we were together as one
Even when we part, you will never be gone
Look into the sky and see that dream we never lost
Can't you see it coming true? We made it through
I share this time with you
I want to see you smile
Close your eyes. You've gone through so much, my love
All the past is now a cloud of floating memories
The sunlight shining through the long and dark nights we've walked
All that's left to do is rest and heal our hearts
Every step along the way
You gave me strength to stand my ground
There's so much to say to you
But now it's time to go
CHORUS #2:
All the times we fought, we were together as one
Even when we part, you will never be gone
As the times go by, there's something that I realize
There was not a single thing that I could do
If I didn't have you
The price to pay to be right where we wanted to be
It wasn't so easy to achieve what we needed to find the way to freedom
I've lost so much through it all
But you're the reason I stand tall
Together we embraced one dream
Protected our honor
Back to CHORUS #1
All the times we fought...
Now I give you all my heart
Take it all it's just for you
I'll never forget the love you gave us all
In my eternal memories
I want to see you smile
