Chorus:

If i were free to speak my mind,

I'd tell a tale to all mankind

Of how the flowers do bloom and fade

Of how we've fought and how we've paid.



This weary world has had its fill

Of words of war on every hill

The time has come for peaceful days

And peaceful men of peaceful ways.



(chorus)



When all mankind has ceased to fight

I'll raise my head in thanks each night

For this rich earth and all it means

For golden days and peaceful dreams.



(chorus)
