Cranes Over Hiroshima Lyrics

Cover art for Cranes Over Hiroshima lyrics by Fred Small

this song is about a girl who gets leukemia after the bombing of hiroshima. she dies and her friends and family fold 1,000 cranes to make the pain go away. the meaning here seems clear but the underlying message is one that we should have peace and the song pretty much is trying to get you to think about what happens when you drop an atom bomb. it isn't pretty.
