Our Wish (Orchestra Style)

[Original Poem] Volunteer Group from Ohsu Junior High School
[Lyrics] YAMANOKI Takeshi
[Music] TAKADA Ryuji

  1. If from above our heads missiles and bombs.
    Were not being dropped but rather books and notebooks.
    We shall be liberated from ignorance and prejudice.
    And we shall stop fighting and live together in peace.

  2. If on the earth there was not the sound of bombing.
    That could be heard but the sound of music.
    We shall not be scared by terror and hatred.
    And we shall be able to sing the song of liberty.

  3. If under this ground there were not buried.
    Landmines or the like but seeds of wheat and corn.
    We shall not be suffering from starvation and hurt.
    And we shall share everything and live together in peace.

  4. If one wish can be realized let's abandon all wars.
    And make this whole world full of love and peace.
    Until our wish comes true we shall be fighting.
    And we shall be marching for everyone in this world

    [Additional Lyric by E-chan]
  5. If another wish could be granted
    We aspire to create the peace through UTAGOE
    overcoming the differences of opinion, race and religion
    Let's sing the song together, hand in hand
