A SONG FOR PEACE | A SONG FOR PEACE |
| |
Let the sun rise | Let the sun come up again |
and give the morning light, | and give the morning light. |
the purest prayer | the purest prayer that you can find |
will not bring us back. | can't change our deadly plight. |
| |
He whose candle was snuffed out | He whose light has been snuffed out |
and was buried in the dust, | can't taste your bitter tear. |
a bitter cry won't wake him, | Nothing you can do or say |
won't bring him back. | can bring him back to here. |
| |
Nobody will return us | Nobody can raise us up |
from the dead dark pit. | from our cold dark graves. |
Here, neither the joy of victory | Don't try to help us |
nor songs of praise | with your cheers of victory |
will help. | or your songs of praise. |
| |
So sing only for peace, | So only sing a song for peace; |
don't whisper a prayer, | don't whisper us a prayer. |
it's better to sing a song for peace | Better to sing a song for peace. |
with a giant shout! | Let shouting fill the air! |
| |
Let the sun penetrate | Let the sun shine through again |
through the flowers, | to let the flowers grow. |
don't look backward, | Don't look backward to the past; |
leave those who have departed. | let those who left you go. |
| |
Lift your eyes with hope | Let your eyes look up with hope, |
not through the rifle sights | not through a rifle sight. |
sing a song for love | Sing a song, a song for love, |
and not for wars. | not for another fight. |
| |
Don't say the day will come, | Don't tell me the day will come; |
bring the day, | work for it without cease. |
because it is not a dream. | It's not a dream, so |
And within all the city's squares, | inside every city square |
cheer for peace. | let out a cheer for peace! |
| |
And sing, sing a song for peace, | Come on and sing a song for peace; |
don't whisper a prayer, | don't whisper us a prayer. |
it's better to sing a song for peace | Better to sing a song for peace. |
with a giant shout! | Let shouting fill the air! |
