Eternal Journey with Sensei (The Song of Our Vow)

Eternal Journey with Sensei (The Song of Our Vow)

*    Let us soar, you and I, into the dawning skies

     Let us strive as long as we live, leaving no one behind

     Forward, we advance, we arise!


Breaking through the storms of the night, the blazing sun emerges bright 

Illuminating humanity, changing destiny

Tears of sorrow turning into lionhearted smiles

With our shared pledge, we disciples will soar to victory now

Sensei! Your vow is my vow!

From every corner of the world, we are leaping up to dance 

As the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, united as one, we advance!

We' re awakened to our mission, lighting hope in every one 

With our shared pledge, we disciples will soar to victory now

Sensei! Your vow is my vow!

Let us soar, you and I, into the dawning skies

Sensei! Your vow is my vow!

Sensei! Your vow is our vow!

Song for the Soka Gakkai Youth of the World

Leading up to the World Youth General Meeting on 27

September 2020, and in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of October 2nd where SGI President Ikeda first set forth for world peace, a new song for youth of the Soka Gakkai has been composed.

Created together by SGI youth representatives globally, this song titled, "Eternal Journey With Sensei (The Song of Our Vow)", also contains significant excerpts from the opening and closing chapters of The New Human Revolution penned by SGI President Ikeda over 25 years.

Through the lyrics, youthful disciples express their strong determination to respond to their mentor and carry on the baton to strive for the happiness of humanity and for world peace.

Let us fill every corner of this Earth with our resolute voices as we sing this beautiful song with our hearts! Forward, we advance, we arise!
