“Sister Suffragette” by Glynis Johns from Mary Poppins

We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman’s votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid!

Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters’ daughters will adore us
And they’ll sign in grateful chorus
“Well done, Sister Suffragette!”

From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless cries!
From ev’ry corner of the land:
“Womankind, arise!”
Political equality and equal rights with men!
Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!

No more the meek and mild subservients we!
We’re fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you fear!

So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters’ daughters will adore us
And they’ll sign in grateful chorus
“Well done! Well done!
Well done Sister Suffragette!”

“Change the World” by V6

Original / Romaji Lyrics
I want to change the world
Kaze wo kakenukete, nanimo osorezuni
Ima yuuki to, egao no kakera daite
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, takanaru mirai e
Te wo nobaseba, kagayakeru hazu sa
It’s wonderland

Haiiro no sora no kanata, nanika oitekita
Kimi wa mayoinagara, sagashitsuzukeru
Kimi no kokoro furueteta, asu no mienai yo
Nani mo shinjirarezu, mimi wo fusagu
Kimi ni deaeta toki, honto no ibasho mitsuketa
Nanigenai yasashisa ga, koko ni atte
Bokura mezameru

I want to change the world
Nido to mayowanai, kimi to iru mirai
Katachidoreba, dokomademo toberu sa
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, shiranai ashita e
Tsubasa hiroge, habatakeru hazu sa
It’s wonderland

Bokura wa onaji sekai wo, oyogitsuzuketeru
Tagai no negai e, todoku hi made
Minna onaji fuan kakaete, sasaeaeru yo
Tachidomaru shunkan ni, mitsumeteru
Kono basho ni iru

I want to change the world
Kono te hanasazu ni, mimamoru hitomi wo
Uketometara, nandatte dekiru hazu
Change my mind
Hitori ni sasenai, minna koko ni iru
Donna koto mo, tsukinukete ikou
It’s wonderland

I want to change the world
Kaze wo kakenukete, nanimo osoerezuni
Ima yuuki to, egao no kakera daite
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, takanaru mirai e
Te wo nobaseba, kagayakeru hazu sa
It’s wonderland

An English Translation
I want to change the world,
Pierce through the winds,
I’m not afraid of anything, now with the courage
and fragments of the smile I hold.

Change my mind,
Without losing my passion,
If I reach out my hand to the beating future,
I’m sure to shine,
It’s wonderland.

Beyond the grey skies,
Something was left behind,
You wandered about,
And kept on searching about.

Your heart trembled,
The morning of a night you couldn’t see.
Unable to believe anything,
With covered ears…

When I met you,
I’d found where I truly belong,
With the casual kindness
That’s here,
We awaken.

I want to change the world
I won’t lose my way again,
With you, if we could shape the future,
We can fly anywhere.

Change my mind
Without losing my passion
I spread my wings to an unknown new day,
I’m sure they will unfurl,
It’s wonderland

We continue to swim in
The same world,
Until the day we reach each others’ dreams.
We all carry around the same uneasiness,
And we hold each other up.
The moment we stop, we’ll be
At the place we’ve looked for.

I want to change the world
Without letting go of my hand,
Accept that I am watching over you,
And I’m sure you can do anything.

Change my mind,
I won’t let you do this alone,
We’re all here.
We’ll break through whatever is there,
It’s wonderland.

I want to change the world,
Pierce through the winds,
I’m not afraid of anything, now with the courage
and fragments of the smile I hold.

Change my mind,
Without losing my passion,
If I reach out my hand to the beating future,
I’m sure to shine,
It’s wonderland.
