Let’s make a crane Fold by fold the paper With wishes and prayers One and two, more and more One thousand cranes our wishes will come true The boy has A locket with crane inside His mother give to her son “Please come back home safe” She always prays with love Believe in the future The girl cannot move her body well By the end in the hospital room alone Even she is making cranes with hope Fly into the sky all over the world Carrying the children on a thousand wings To a place free of pain, fear, suffering and loneliness May they rest in peace They lost homes, parents Siblings, friends and everything No one knows they’re gone Feeling alone The war took the many children’s life We must not forget They fly into the sky Their life carried on a thousand wings If nothing had happened What future would you Have dreaming for the world Fly into the sky all over the world Carrying the prayers on a thousand wings Forgiving, understanding, accepting each other Always be kind To make the world peace Take our hands, folded one by one Let us make cranes together One and two More and more Our wishes “Orizuru” From around the world’s friends
