Hiroshima

Wishful Thinking

There′s a shadow of a man at Hiroshima
Where he'd pass the noon
In a wonderland at Hiroshima′Neath the August moon

And the world remembers his face
Remembers the place was here

Fly little bird to Hiroshima
And away your load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode

And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was here
Hiroshima

And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was here
Hiroshima
