IMAGINE PEACE
IMAGINE PEACE
The Sun is rising
The Ocean is shining
We are smiling
It’s getting better
Time for action
(time for action)
And action is peace
All the sad songs from the past:
Auschwitz, Tiananmen, Rokokyo
Hiroshima, Nagasaki
Let’s put all the sad songs together
And change the negative energy
To create the beautiful future
平和を想像しよう
平和をイメージしよう
日が昇る
海が輝く
私たちは微笑む
すべてが少しずつ明るい方向に向いている
行動の時が来た
行動こそが平和だ
過去の悲しい歌たちよ
アウシュビッツ、天安門、盧溝橋
広島、長崎、、、
悲しい歌を集めて
負のエネルギーを変換して
美しい未来を作っていこう
It’s very simple
Clean the water
Each one of us, are 90% water
Water can be an oasis, or muddy water
Let’s each one of us be
An oasis for the world
Send the oasis everywhere
Throw away all the powders created
We are here together
簡単なことかもしれない
まず水を清めて
私たちは皆、90%水なのだから
水というのは、オアシスか、濁っているのかなのだから
一人一人が世界のためにオアシスになろう
そしてそのオアシスを世界中に届けよう
化学的に作った粉は捨てよう
一緒に集まろう
Healing, healing, healing the world
Healing
It’s time to heal
世界を癒そう、癒して、癒していこう
その時が来た
