text: Chorus:
  If I were free to speak my mind
  Id tell a tale to all mankind
  Of how the flowers do bloom and fade
  Of how weve fought and how weve 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
  When all mankind has ceased to fight
  Ill raise my head in thanks each night
  For this rich Earth and all it means
  For golden days and peaceful dreams
