“It starts with listening
To all the voices
To the loved one beside you
To the friends who surround you
To your country
Women and men
To other countries
To the Earth, and the Earth
Though apart, now
Though we can’t touch, now
Listening
To a voice from the heart
Is like taking that voice by the hand
Is like grasping peace
Seventy-five years since the atomic bombing
Teams in Hiroshima and New York
Will link friends around the world
To broadcast peace
Through art and music.
The goal is to listen
To people around the world
Conscientiously studying
To graduate
From the culture of war
To a culture of peace.”
