| I come and stand at every door
|
| But no-one hears my silent breath
|
| I knock and yet remain unseen
|
| For I am dead, for I am dead
|
| I’m only seven although I’ve died
|
| In Hiroshima long ago
|
| I’m seven now as I was then
|
| When children die they do not grow
|
| My hair was ________, my ________________
|
| My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
|
| Death came and turned my bones to dust
|
| And that was scattered by the wind
|
| I need no food, i need no rice
|
| I need no sleep, nor even bread
|
| I ask for nothing for myself
|
| For I am dead, for I am dead
|
| All that I ask is that for peace
|
| You fight today, you fight to die
|
| So that the children of this world
|
| May live and grow, and laugh and play |
