The True Ending credits roll theme for Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia.
This is the last Hymn crafted during the course of the game, containing the feelings and wishes of everyone in Sol Ciel. Its effects include causing an orbital readjustment on the Tower to give to it and its surrounding areas a favorable weather, normalizing the functions of the Tower, and amplifying the positive thoughts in the minds of the Reyvateils to make them kinder towards the humans and to each other.[1]
This Song is also special due to featuring a program within the feelings it contains called a Synchronizer, which allows the Reyvateils who Download it to compose the same Song and lyrics from it. This also allows them to Sing in the exact turn they have for each lyrics section, as this opens up their minds and allows them to share their mental state for as long as they are Singing the Song by making use of the Shared Consciousness Fields existing beyond their Cosmospheres' Boundary Gates. However, since manipulating the Shared Consciousness Fields is so difficult, very few people are capable of programming a Synchronizer, and the only parts the Singers will share of their minds with each other are the ones that have strictly to do with the Song, so it'll be impossible to see any other aspect of their minds or memories. [2]
Aurica, Misha, and Shurelia Sing it together. It can also act as an amplifier for the effects of Song Magic, as shown in Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica.
Effect Key: Revival.
Effect: Peace.

Feelings Contained in This Song
A new dawn is coming to this world
The shining light is illuminating the plants,
and this whole world is being enshrouded in warmth
Yesterday I fought with you, yesterday you hated me
From today onwards, let us be friends, from today
onwards, let us have a friendship driven by the same feelings.
The humans, animals, plants, and also, the Reyvateils,
All are lives that coexist with each other, and will
help each other in this new world
Where no one will have a reason to be an horrible
person, where no one will have a reason to oppress others.
We will just be beside each other,
we will just be next to each other.
That is the maximum happiness.
That everyone is taken from the hands of the others
is what brings the maximum happiness.
What you will give as a present to the children of the future?
A world free of conflict, a land overflowing with greenness
The town of hope, the refreshing breeze, the embracing rain.
The trustful hearts, the coexisting people,
all are lives that breath, supporting each other, and
helping each other
The long, long night will pass over and the morning will come,
And we all will be bathed in light.
Trivia
This Song was originally created as an instrumental ending theme for Atelier Elie: The Alchemist of Salburg 2 by Akira Tsuchiya, but after the song was rejected in favor of its current ending theme "When Tomorrow Comes", Tsuchiya left it in the backburner for years, until he finally had a chance to use it as the ending theme for Atelier Marie, Elie and Anis: Message on the Gentle Breeze. Tsuchiya later on had the idea of repurposing it into the ending theme for Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia, at which point he was inspired by the Queen song "We Are the World" to make it into a song that united the people throughout all the world into a single chorus.[3][4]
Curiously enough, while the concept and ideas behind this song were the first ones to be made for the game, the song itself was one of the last ones to be completed.
