Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
Lyrics
Sadako was only 2 years old
On the day the atom bomb exploded
In a sea of fire all around
Mother found her baby on the ground
Black rain fell
Mixed with tears
As they fled
Filled with fear
Kono inori o kiite
Tsubasa o hiroge
Heiwa no senbazuru
Watashitachi no yume o nosete
Sadako grew up a happy child
For her friends she always had a smile
But a silent sickness grew within her
From the day the bomb exploded near her
Now she falls
To the floor
Ten years after
The war
Kono inori o kiite
Tsubasa o hiroge
Heiwa no senbazuru
Watashitachi no yume o nosete
Gracefully she tries to hide the pain
As her fingers fold a paper crane
Folding cranes until her final hour
As she prays for life with all her power
Sadako
Rest in peace
Help us to
Bring world peace
Kono inori o kiite
Tsubasa o hiroge
Heiwa no senbazuru
Watashitachi no yume o nosete
Kono inori o kiite
Tsubasa o hiroge
Heiwa no senbazuru
Watashitachi no yume o nosete
