Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Hiroshima

Performed by David McWilliams

One morning in June a noise shook the ground

And the people all trembled on their faces lay down

And the sound on the lips, of the world all around

Was the name of Hiroshima

The people lay wrapped in their darkening shroud

The last resting place of a people once proud

And the town that lay under that great mushroom cloud

Was the name of Hiroshima

Now the days passed away and the years they flew by

And those left remaining wished that they too could die

For the people left here are still living lie

In the shame of Hiroshima

So take heed to my words, put your weapons away

Make friends with your foes , let all have their say

Or we have once again, what happened that day

We'll have another Hiroshima

One morning in June, a noise shook the ground

And the people all trembled on their faces laid down

And the sound on the lips, of the world all around

Was the name of Hiroshima
