Yonder from the sky above comes the shining of the Light!
We are drawn to the will of God, the Parent in Tenri!
In hinokishin we will strive, our hearts and our minds as one.
For we are the wings of the Parent, we are God the Parent's sons!

Tenri Young Men! Together marching on!

Yonder shines a brilliant light form Ojiba's Kanrodai!
Our home is in Yamato, the eternal Holy Place!
Single minded Salvation, ever keeping a child's heart;
For we are the wings of the Foundress, aiming for the Joyous Life!

Tenri Young Men! Together marching on!

Yonder in the boundless sea rides a single brave white sail!
As God the Parent guides us, we will master every wave!
As the Pioneers of the Path, our mission we take to heart;
For we are the wings of the Parent, we're fulfilling God's Desire.

Tenri Young Men! Together marching on!
