"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.

Japanese version:
