Union Songs

The High Pride

- [play]

A song by Tetsuro Tanaka ©Tetsuro Tanaka

Let us Talk to children about living with high pride.
Let us Tell about the struggle to keep high pride.
Let us talk about the importance of democracy to children.

Let us set an example of living for peace.
Have you forgotten? Only 100 years before,
human rights were worse than now.

Those who struggled achieved what we have today.
Even if you feel you struggle in vain,
It'll make a change in 100 years to come.
