I come and stand at every door
The Byrds Lyrics
I come and stand at every door Lyrics
I come and stand at every door by The Byrds
But no one hears my silent prayer
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead...
I'm only seven although I died
In Hiroshima, long ago
I'm 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 sweets, no 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...
