Lyrics (By Benjamin Franklin) [incomplete/unofficial]:
Never far away, though he always on the road, yeah, like he's got no home.
I can feel him here, like he's standing right beside me, yeah he always in my heart.
Can you tell the way our humble home impressed a silence on his burdened soul?
Traveled from afar, to find the shelter for just one night, said he felt strangely at home.
No one knows where he's been, no one knows what he's seen, he's fighting for a greater cause:
For us all, for us all.
He looked so lonely (you and I), and who knows where he might be?
He's out there fighting evil, he's out there taking on the world!
Never far away, in thought, is measured by our hearts.
Always on our minds, in spirit never far apart.
Living like a man whose one desire is to show
that living for us all, yeah its the only thing that he wants to know,
its all he knows, you and I and everybody!
He's giving every breath he will stay the course to give us
times of peace, and times of love for us all
(Sharing just one wish)
(...)
(For us all)
One time he was here, sharing just one precious moment; it was magic then.
Just to see him stand, larger than the front door frame, yeah,
yet as humble as a child.
No one knows where he's been, no one knows what he's seen, he's fighting for a greater cause:
For us all, for us all
He looked so lonely (you and I), and who knows where he might be?
He's out there fighting evil, he's out there taking them all on!
Never far away, in thought, is measured by our hearts.
Always on our minds, in spirit never far apart.
Living like a man whose one desire is to show
that living for us all, yeah it's the only thing that he wants to know,
it's all he knows, you and I and everybody.
He's giving every breath, he will stay the course to give us
times of peace (times of peace), and times of love (times of love),
He is here to stay:
yeah he is right here with us.
Our lives would pay to say:
"You've always got a home right here.
Anytime you need a home, a shelter, and someone, a helping hand, you're always welcome here"
Just know "always" cause we know you,
giving every single breath to (to bring those times);
invite you here for us all.
We will give (times of love to you), for a bunch you give for us all.
(I want to thank you, thank you)

@ULTIMATEICEYOU I'm going to put up the lyrics as soon as I have time to sit down with the song and copy them down. I made the wallpaper using some pieces from the Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault website.

Thanks for the upload!
I've never played any of the Ace Combat games and I didn't expect this kind of music to be in them. The lyrics are kinda cheesy, but the arrangement is very beautiful.

@ZMcKowen Compared to Ace Combat 3, Shiina had a much bigger role in this soundtracks, composing about 1/3rd of the tracks and directing some others. That being said, it's definitely a standout in the series, even when comparing just what little Shiina did on 3.
And it seems every game he's a big part of tends to have one of these types of songs, whether it be My Tales or Holy Dream G or the like, and they always end up sounding majestic like you said.
