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