I Come And Stand At Every Door Lyrics

I come and stand at every door
but no-one hears my silent breath
I knock and yet remain unseen
for I am dead, for I am dead
I'm only seven although I've died
in Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
when children die they do not grow
my hair was ________, my ________________
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
death came and turned my bones to dust and that was scattered by the wind [the wind, the wind]
I need no food, i need no rice
I need no sleep, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
for I am dead, for I am dead
all that I ask is that for peace
you fight today, you fight to die
so that the children of this world
may live and grow, and laugh and play
