[Original Poem] Volunteer Group from Ohsu Junior High School
[Lyrics] YAMANOKI Takeshi
[Music] Fujiwara Tomie
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.
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.
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.
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]
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
