"In the Darkness We Will Be the Light - March 16"

Lyrics by Unknown

Music by Unknown

 

We are marching ahead in unison, lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for our mission
We resolve once more today

To be one with our mentor, make his vision our centre
And to win each and every day
To conquer every weakness and win over every sickness
And leap over every hurdle we face.
We know that the road to world peace is long
But we are gonna stop at nothing
We'll go on and on and on.

We are marching ahead in unison, lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for our mission
We resolve once more today.

To suffer what there is to suffer, boldly moving together
Crushing obstacles that come our way
Endure the stormy weather hoping in our hearts forever
That the night will always turn to day
And even if the winter of our lives seems long
Amid the raging waves free of fear
We'll go on and on and on.

Without giving in to our desires
We will give our lives for the law
With a pure and brave spirit as our possession
And an ever-strengthening resolve

We are marching ahead in unison, lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for our mission
We resolve once more today.

To stand up right here beside you, and forever to continue
Winning the bonds of trust and friendship everywhere
And sensei don't you worry, we will never lose our glory
Proudly standing up today we all declare
That we will raise the flag of peace and culture across the world
Standing tall to the challenge of the future
We'll go on and on and on.
