Hiroshima Songtext
von 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
Hiroshima

(Hiroshima, Japanese city of three hundred thousand people) Hiroshima
(Ceased to exist at 9:15 on a Monday morning) Hiroshima
(While going about its business in the sunshine of a hot summer day) Hiroshima
(It vanished in a huge ball of fire and a cloud of boiling smoke) Hiroshima
(Obliterated by the first atom bomb used in the)
(History of world war terror) Hiroshima

(Such is the electrifying report of the American)
(Crew of the superforce who dropped the bomb) Hiroshima
(As a cataclysmic warning to the Japs to get out)
(Of war or be destroyed)
(Hiroshima, the whole crew agreed was blotted) Hiroshima
(Out but a flash more brilliant than the sun)

Hiroshima
