I come and stand at every door But no one hears my silent tread I knock and yet remain unseen For I am dead, yes I am dead I'm only seven although I died In Hiroshima long ago I'm seven now as I was then For I am dead, yes I am dead 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 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
