Gratitude Lyrics - Björk

(Vocals: Will Oldham) 

July 13, 1946 

Dear General MacArthur, 

With your permission 

I offer wishes of good health 

During this heat 

That burns anything 

The words I slowly put together 

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Recently, fulfilling 

Your heart's desire 

You removed the whaling 

Moratorium. 

Your gesture brings 

A much needed food 

To our community 

And families 

The words I slowly put together 

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart 

A million year old fossil 

I send to you 

This comes from my family 

And the ancient sea 

A prehistoric impression 

Of the modern krill 

She feeds the noble whale 

And offers you longevity 

Photos 

The words I slowly put together 

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart 

Finally, please take good care in the heat. 

Sincerely yours, 

Shizuka
