In the morning mist courageously I stand Determined to fulfill the dance of my mission. All at once the sun appears above the hill And our campus is bathed in gold. O LIGHT OF HOPE! Arise from here Keep shining on Beyond a thousand years! On every path, in every stone Resides the founding spirit This spirit is my own: For the sake of the people I will study and learn Fearlessly and without cease. And for the world, Create a new future of Happiness for humankind. It is my earnest vow To climb the steep hill of learning In pursuit of my youthful dreams! A determined youth emerges from the earth. The beating pulse of life Grows stronger as we gather, Global citizens uniting here as friends. And triumphant, the day begins. THE LIGHT OF HOPE Here and now it starts As youthful passion Burning in our hearts. No education surpasses that Of trials and hardships, Harsh lessons learned of life. We’ll go into society And do the best we can To shatter the dark of night! To live a life Engaged in new construction, Our hearts forever bound as one. Today we live our vow Creating bridges of dialogue So justice may be done! Underneath a shining canopy of stars We ponder the words of thinkers through the ages: “My young friends, I entrust my dreams to you. I am counting on you” To spread THE LIGHT OF HOPE Throughout the world To be the change that finally unfurls The gleaming banner of humanity, The flag of freedom, for all the world to see. Be philosophers who bring about A renaissance of life! Open the way for peace! This wounded world Awaits us all If our courageous hearts will heed the call. I offer and dedicate to you The pride of an indomitable life Committed to the achievement Of one’s youthful vow. I offer and dedicate to you THE LIGHT OF HOPE That rises above all hardships And makes every dream come true!
私は日本国から外に出た事はありませんが、少しでも世界市民に成れた様に思いました。ありがとうございました。
In the morning mist courageously I stand
Determined to fulfill the dance of my mission.
All at once the sun appears above the hill
And our campus is bathed in gold.
O LIGHT OF HOPE!
Arise from here
Keep shining on
Beyond a thousand years!
On every path, in every stone
Resides the founding spirit
This spirit is my own:
For the sake of the people
I will study and learn
Fearlessly and without cease.
And for the world,
Create a new future of
Happiness for humankind.
It is my earnest vow
To climb the steep hill of learning
In pursuit of my youthful dreams!
A determined youth emerges from the earth.
The beating pulse of life
Grows stronger as we gather,
Global citizens uniting here as friends.
And triumphant, the day begins.
THE LIGHT OF HOPE
Here and now it starts
As youthful passion
Burning in our hearts.
No education surpasses that
Of trials and hardships,
Harsh lessons learned of life.
We’ll go into society
And do the best we can
To shatter the dark of night!
To live a life
Engaged in new construction,
Our hearts forever bound as one.
Today we live our vow
Creating bridges of dialogue
So justice may be done!
Underneath a shining canopy of stars
We ponder the words of thinkers through the ages:
“My young friends,
I entrust my dreams to you.
I am counting on you”
To spread THE LIGHT OF HOPE
Throughout the world
To be the change that finally unfurls
The gleaming banner of humanity,
The flag of freedom, for all the world to see.
Be philosophers who bring about
A renaissance of life!
Open the way for peace!
This wounded world
Awaits us all
If our courageous hearts will heed the call.
I offer and dedicate to you
The pride of an indomitable life
Committed to the achievement
Of one’s youthful vow.
I offer and dedicate to you
THE LIGHT OF HOPE
That rises above all hardships
And makes every dream come true!
so wonderful.
Wow, what an incredible graduation ceremony! Congratulations to the Class.
