"Song of Human Revolution"
or
"Ningen Kakumei no Uta"
Lyrics and Music by Shin'ichi Yamamoto
I also take my stand. Take yours, too.
Each in our own realm of Kosen-rufu!
Stand alone!
Hold high the flag
of justice and courage.
Open the way
for a new civilization to blossom.
I also forge ahead. You too must press on.
Right through the blizzard's fury,
go boldly.
If we are truly Bodhisattvas of the Earth,
if we truly are,
then we have a mission to fulfill
here in this world.
Look ahead where I, too, am looking now.
Keep the far-off rainbow
in sight.
There, the new century
dawns with awesome brilliance.
Let the light
of human revolution shine.
Let the light
of human revolution shine.
