| | | Lyrics: | The baby blinks her eyes as the sun falls from the sky
She feels the stings of a thousand fires
as the city around her dies
Some sleep beneath the rubble, some wake to a different
world
From the crying babe will grow a laughing girl.
Ten summers fade to autumn,
ten winters' snows have passed
She's a child of dreams and dances, she's a racer strong and
fast
But the headaches come ever more often and the dizziness always returns
And the word
that she hears is leukemia, and it burns.
CHORUS:
Cranes over Hiroshima, white and
red and gold
Flicker in the sunlight like a million vanished souls
I will fold these
cranes of paper to a thousand one by one
And I'll fly away when I am done.
Her
ancestors knew the legend--if you make a thousand cranes
From squares of colored paper, it will
take the pain away
With loving hands she folds them, six hundred forty-four
Till the
morning her trembling fingers can't fold anymore.
CHORUS
Her friends did not
forget her--crane after crane they made
Until they reached a thousand and laid them upon her
grave
People from everywhere gathered, together a prayer they said
And they wrote the
words in granite so none can forget:
FINAL CHORUS:
This is our cry, this is our
prayer, peace in the world | | | |
