"Friends"


or

"A Song of Harmony"

Lyrics and Music by Cathy Wilmore

 

We are friends from many lands,
    hand in hand.
We have vowed to take a stand,
    for human dignity.
Raise your banners high.
Let them fly, from shore to shore.
    "All aboard!"
It's a peace worth fighting for.
We're changing destiny --
    friends forevermore.

Lift your voices, sing as one,
    A song of harmony.
For Kosen-rufu we've become
    friends forever
    we are creating history.

We are friends, and side by side
    we unite.
Joined together life to life.
    A human victory.
Hope for all mankind.
Let it shine, this age of youth --
    We have proof.
There is justice, there is truth.
We'll be eternally,
    friends forevermore.

Lift your voices, sing as one,
    A song of harmony.
For Kosen-rufu we've become
    friends forever
    we are creating history.

We are friends from many lands,
    hand in hand.
We have vowed to take a stand,
    for human dignity.
Raise your banners high.
Let them fly, from shore to shore.
    "All aboard!"
It's a peace worth fighting for.
We're changing destiny --
    friends forevermore.

Lift your voices, sing as one,
    A song of harmony.
For Kosen-rufu we've become
    friends forever
    we are creating history.

We are friends, and side by side
    we unite.
Joined together life to life.
    A human victory.
Hope for all mankind.
Let it shine, this age of youth --
    We have proof.
There is justice, there is truth.
We'll be eternally,
    friends forevermore.

Lift your voices, sing as one,
    A song of harmony.
For Kosen-rufu we've become
    friends forever
    we are creating history.
