Peace to Asia – 上田正樹
What is Asia to us?
Friends an kin of many kinds
What is Asia to us?
Steeped in culture lasting for all time
What is Asia to us?
Shared and acceptance of different values
What is Asia to us?
Before we were born fighting ruled the land
Our elders fought foes no one called friend
The sad cold history always fresh in our minds
Language and religion so different at times
But someday this barrier can be over come
Then love and peace will go together
Hand in hand
Here in Asia Here in Asia Here in Asia
Peace to Asia
Where we Asians come from?
Share a space for all to see
Where we Asians come from?
Many have chance to meet
When we Asians become a friend?
It may still take a long long time
Where we Asians come from?
Shaking hands symbolizing recognition as one
Lying under the same big sky and sun
Bright is the future when all directions are the same
Closing our eyes each and every dream too the same
Yes someday we can have friendship all over the land
Then love and peace together will go hand in hand
Here in Asia Here in Asia Here in Asia
All we have to do is for our future it’s understanding
All we have to do is for our future it’s forgiving
All we have to do is for our future it’s respecting
And the future… future will be wonderful for Asia
This is my wish… a peaceful Asia
This is my small wish… a peaceful Asia
Peace to you Asia!!
Peace to all and to all a good night!!
This is my small wish a peaceful Asia
