Hiroshima Unforgotten lyrics

Forty years have come and gone

But the wake of destruction lingers on

A Little Boy came to town

Thoughtlessly tumbling the buildings down

Besieged by but a single offense

Eighty thousand dead in an instance

Ashen shadows mark the spot

A funeral bier and a meager plot

Has a lesson come to us from doom

Not to nurture the clouding mushroom

Hiroshima and the innocents bombed

Humanity so terribly wronged...
