Ikeda Sensei writes:
Wherever youth gather, where they grow and develop, there are always songs. …
Soka Gakkai songs and the songs of kosen-rufu created by our members around the world pulse with the spirit of mentor and disciple and express a wish for peace and human happiness. (Aug. 18, 2023, World Tribune, p. 3)
Taking to heart this guidance, SGI-USA youth representatives composed the song “Striving for Peace” to express their vow with their mentor and to inspire fresh momentum as we create a new wave of shakubuku in America and open a new era of kosen-rufu.

Striving for Peace
Right here now
Troubles all around
Searching for hope to be found
I will advance
Both feet on the ground
Striving to make my mentor proud
Because I’m here
Striving for peace
With Sensei in my heart
A new world will be achieved
My mentor
Lives inside my heart
New territories to chart
The world will change
As I change my life
My place to win
Each day and night
Because I’m here
Striving for peace
With Sensei in my heart
A new world will be achieved
Time to expand
For peace within our land
Now is the time we will stand
Nothing can
Stop us from our vow
We will create hope all around
Because I’m here
Striving for peace
With Sensei in my heart
Because I’m here
Striving for peace
With Sensei in my heart
A new world will be achieved
Because we’re here
Striving for peace
With Sensei in our hearts
A new world will be achieved
