Soar into the sky,

Young phoenixes of the Soka schools!

You are my life, my hope.

Your home is the Earth.

Your nationality, ‘the world’.

Your ethnicity, humanity

My young friends of invincible spirit,

who embrace noble ideals

as lofty as the heavens,

who challenges every task

with joy, perseverance, passion!

Nothing great is accomplished without effort,

no victory gained without hard-fought struggle.

The future belongs to you.

Unite the hearts of those divided

by suspicion and hatred,

and resolutely cultivate

the fertile fields of peace,

where beautiful smiles bloom.
