                                Bamboo Houses

              Sore de mo, hitobito no seikatsu wa tsuzuite iru

                       All the buildings I have loved
                             Are barely standing
                     All the children too young and thin
                              Sing bamboo music

                                Bamboo Music

                         I walk through open fields
                             Where children sing
                                Bamboo music
                            A song of life itself
                                 Play to win
                               In bamboo music

                       We work -- working harder still
                           Down where life begins
                             From here to heaven
                      We fight -- fighting harder still
                           Down where life begins
                             From here to heaven

                    Building bamboo houses by the million
                    Lighting fires that only burn inside
                     Singing bamboo music by the million
                           Fighting for our lives

                          I walk through the fields
                             Where children sing
                                Bamboo music
                          A glimpse of life itself
                              Of sun and steel
                               In bamboo music

                       We work -- working harder still
                           Down where life begins
                             From here to heaven
                      We fight -- fighting harder still
                           Down where life begins
                             From here to heaven

                    Building bamboo houses by the million
                    Lighting fires that only burn inside
                     Singing bamboo music by the million
                           Fighting for our lives
