This mortal coil i come stand at every door lyrics

I come and stand at every door



But no one hears my silent dread



I knock and yet remain unseen



For I am dead, for I am dead



Im only seven although Ive died



In hiroshima long ago



Im seven now as I was then



When children die they do not grow



My hair was scorched by swirling flame



My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind



Death came and turned my bones to dust



And that was scattered by the wind



I need no fruit, I need no rice



I need no sweet, nor even bread



I ask for nothing for myself



For I am dead, for I am dead



All that I ask is that for peace



You fight today, you fight today



So that the children of this world



May live and grow, and laugh and play
