Ikkyo
sung to the tune of "let it be" by the Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble
      Ueshiba sensei comes to me
      Speaking words of wisdom: "Ikkyo"
      And in my hour of darkness
      He is standing right beside of me
      Speaking words of wisdom: "ikkyo"
      Ikkyo - nikkyo - sankyo - yonkyo
      Wisper words of wisdom: "Ikkyo"
      
 And when you've broken arms on people
        unable to take ukemi,
        There will be an answer, ikkyo.
        For though they may be parted there is
        Still a chance that they will see
        There will be an answer, ikkyo.
        Ikkyo - nikkyo - sankyo - yonkyo. Yeah
        There will be an answer, ikkyo      
 And when I am exhausted
        There is still a thing that comforts me.
        Practice is tomorrow, ikkyo.
        I wake up to the sound of sensei
        Screaming in my ear to me
        Let's go out and practice, ikkyo.
        Ikkyo - nikkyo - sankyo - yonkyo
        There's the Aikido answer: Ikkyo.
        Ikkyo - nikkyo - sankyo - yonkyo.
        Let's go out and practice: ikkyo.
