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 [the wind, 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
