I Come and Stand at Every Door - Pete Seeger

I come and stand at every door

But no-one hears my silent breath

I knock and yet remain unseen

For I am dead, for I am dead

I’m only seven although I’ve died

In Hiroshima long ago

I’m seven now as I was then

When children die they do not grow

My hair was ________, my ________________

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 food, i need no rice

I need no sleep, 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 to die

So that the children of this world

May live and grow, and laugh and play
