Give Back the Human (Tōge Sankichi)
Give Back the Human Give back my father, give back my mother; Give grandpa back, grandma back; Give me my sons and daughters back. Give me back myself. Give me back the human race. As long as this life lasts, this life, Give back peace That will never end. by Tōge Sankichi Tōge was a survivor who died in 1957, at the age of 36, from leukemia caused by exposure to the bomb's radiation.
