‘Twas long ago
And far across the sea,
So many died in an instant…
Hiroshima!

Children played
Out in the summer sun
Then burned in a living hell…
Hiroshima!

The mushroom cloud
And fireballs quickly spread,
Now only their shadows remain…
Hiroshima!

Light your lights
And never forget that day
When we dropped that bomb from the sky…
Hiroshima!

Now candles burn
All across our land
As we pledge that never again….
Hiroshima!
