[Verse 1:]
Hiroshima, oh Hiroshima,
A city so bright and fair,
But in the blink of an eye,
It was gone, beyond repair.
[Verse 2:]
The bombs fell from the sky,
With a force no one could withstand,
Hiroshima was destroyed,
And many lives were on the sand.
[male voice speaking:]
On 6 August 1945, the United States detonated a new type of bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
[Verse 2:]
The bombs fell from the sky,
With a force no one could withstand,
Hiroshima was destroyed,
And many lives were on the sand.
[Verse 3:]
But from the ashes, hope did rise,
And the people rebuilt their land,
Hiroshima, oh Hiroshima,
A city that now stands.
Hiroshima, oh Hiroshima,
A city so bright and fair,
But in the blink of an eye,
It was gone, beyond repair.
The bombs fell from the sky,
With a force no one could withstand,
Hiroshima was destroyed,
And many lives were on the sand.
But from the ashes, hope did rise,
And the people rebuilt their land,
Hiroshima, oh Hiroshima,
A city that now stands.
