Mount Fuji



You are Mount Fuji standing  tall and strong
As a river scurries by
Waving people in and out
As they go floating by.

You are hope to tons of people
Lighting a smile on their face
Like a mother waiting to see her child
You are patient for their arrival.

The backbone for the fisherman
After their troubled days of work
You watch everyone carefully
Even the waves as they dance by.

You are Mount Fuji
The heart of Japan
Standing tall and strong
As a horse passes by.
