Looking out a lattice-frame window,
Down below, Orin and her barrow go rushing by.
I sit here and gaze up into the sky.

In the starlight, everyone's rising.
This is Stage One, so energising. Hand in hand,
Let's search for the beat in this wonderland.

Into town the youkai are going,
Let's fight back and make a good showing!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
Everybody fight for the dream that goes on!

Bright lights, the barrage goes wild,
Look girl, don't check your graze metre, not another glance.
I won't waste a bomb, honey, not a chance.

Hot-shot (shot), show me some spirit,
Next morning, baby, you'll look back and laugh out loud.
Play the game, I won't rest 'till I do you proud.

Kind hearts can get the best ending,
Kind hearts we'll all be defending!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
Everybody fight for the dream that goes on!

La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Ze!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!

Graze closer, honey, that's better,
I can feel my heart singing out as I feel the heat.
Oh, don't let it stop, baby, hold the beat.

Down below, the sake is flowing.
Our last bullets soon will be glowing, make 'em count.
My Last Word is this, baby:

Hakugyokurou to Kourindou,
Girls in bloomers bathe in danmaku!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
We're the kids in Gensokyo! Whoa-oh!
Eastern Wonderland forever we'll sing!

La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Ze!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!

We're the kids! We're the kids! We're the kids in Gensokyo!
We're the kids! We're the kids! We're the kids in Gensokyo!
We're the kids! We're the kids! We're the kids in Gensokyo!
Etc!
Upon hearing this song, Seija is guaranteed to fall asleep. It is considered polite to stand to attention for the entire duration of the anthem, although dancing exuberantly is also acceptable.

By the way, if Kim Wilde happens to be reading this, I'm so sorry.

(I wrote "Kids in Gensokyo" for the Gensokyo Festival event on Tumblr, and now it's on this website as well. I should really start cross-posting all the other submissions I've done as well, but I never seem to get around to it...)
