C. LESSON PROPER
Very Good! Today, we’re going to discuss the
poem entitled “A THOUSAND PAPER CRANES”.
For us to familiarize ourselves to the background of
the text, let’s watch this short video clip.

Paper cranes symbolize peace in Japan. This idea

was inspired by Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl
who lived near Hiroshima, Japan.

She was only two years old when the atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. At
the age of 11, she was diagnosed with leukemia,
known as ‘The Atomic Bomb Disease.’ Her friend
Chizuko gave her the idea of folding one thousand
paper cranes (an old Japanese legend said that
anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes pleases
the gods, and the folder is granted a wish.)

After folding 500 cranes, Sadako felt better. After a

fold paper cranes until Sadako’s cranes were
completed. She died on October 25, 1955.

 A Thousand Paper Cranes
Music by Michiru Oshima
Lyrics by Kanae Yokoyama
Translated by B. Burke-Gaffney
With a renewed pledge for peace,
A fold a scarlet crane;
And with a pure a noble heart
I fold a bright red crane,
Burning with emotion.
With a fervent prayer for peace
I fold a purple crane;
And for the people buried in the fields
I fold a yellow crane
And then I fold a dark blue crane
For the people sunken in the water’s
depths.
With an inspiration for peace
I fold a grass-green crane;
And for the lives heavier than the Earth,
I fold an indigo crane;
And then I fold a soft pink crane,
Gazing with hope and dreams,
I fold a rainbow-colored crane

Heal the World
By: Michael Jackson
There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter that
tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
*Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There’s a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world
(Repeat *)
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it’s plain to see
This world is heavenly be God’s glow
We could fly so high let our spirits never die,
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we’ll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into
plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space, to make a better place.
