With "Our Wish"

Edition: Tamagawa Yuka

You mean, " Our Wish"

It is something warm and shining

From your hearts

If there were no war in this world

If everyone could be a friend

If people could help each other

You wish " If....." many times

And what will you be able to do some day?

I didn't care about wars before

But Mr. Gordon and my English club friends

taught me about wars very seriously

I felt something from their eagerness

There are people who teach you something

There are people who learn from it

So,

If you wish, you can see a blue sky

Peace should be for you and me, for everyone

Let's stop fighting! It's not too late!

Please treasure any little living things

Please don't ignore any possibilities!

Even if a war happens, I won't go for fighting.

Everyone should hope peace

If I were a dictionary,

I would not have a word " war"

While Japanese children are playing,

Some child might be stepping on a landmine in somewhere else.

A history is being lost

Please stop fighting!

What is the use of war?

Just taking everything from this earth

For the peaceful world without wars

For the countries with clean water

For the countries with no starvation

Let's save the earth for all the liveing things!

Please don't separate your hands from your friends' hands

Please don't close your heart

Please don't worry by yourself

We are friends

Let's live freely

Untill our wish comes true and reaches to the world!
