Small Fred - Cranes Over Hiroshima слова песни
The baby blinks her eyes as the sun falls from the skyShe feels the stings of a thousand fires as the city around her diesSome sleep beneath the rubble, some wake to a different worldFrom the crying babe will grow a laughing girl.Ten summers fade to autumn, ten winters` snows have passedShe`s a child of dreams and dances, she`s a racer strong and fastBut the headaches come ever more often and the dizziness always returnsAnd the word that she hears is leukemia, and it burns.CHORUS:Cranes over Hiroshima, white and red and goldFlicker in the sunlight like a million vanished soulsI will fold these cranes of paper to a thousand one by oneAnd I`ll fly away when I am done.Her ancestors knew the legend--if you make a thousand cranesFrom squares of colored paper, it will take the pain awayWith loving hands she folds them, six hundred forty-fourTill the morning her trembling fingers can`t fold anymore.CHORUSHer friends did not forget her--crane after crane they madeUntil they reached a thousand and laid them upon her gravePeople from everywhere gathered, together a prayer they saidAnd they wrote the words in granite so none can forget:FINAL CHORUS:This is our cry, this is our prayer, peace in the world.
