You're standing in the kitchen.
It's the only warm room.
Getting ready to go out
though a part of you, doesn't want to.
You remember your childhood,
When the world was at war.
And now it's happening all over
How could anyone, take any more?
Put your black coat on. Take the signs you've
Drawn - Join the ladies, downtown….
Becoming Women for Peace
Down in the street.
Women for Peace
Out on the street.
You've given more than you bargained.
How many tears did you cry?
Now you march in his memory
telling anyone, who happens by.
Some will curse you with glances
In a mob, you only feel fear.
Then you hear someone whisper,
"I'm so grateful that, you're always here!"
Pick a day to start, speak out from your heart
You're no longer alone!
It's the only warm room.
Getting ready to go out
though a part of you, doesn't want to.
You remember your childhood,
When the world was at war.
And now it's happening all over
How could anyone, take any more?
Put your black coat on. Take the signs you've
Drawn - Join the ladies, downtown….
Becoming Women for Peace
Down in the street.
Women for Peace
Out on the street.
You've given more than you bargained.
How many tears did you cry?
Now you march in his memory
telling anyone, who happens by.
Some will curse you with glances
In a mob, you only feel fear.
Then you hear someone whisper,
"I'm so grateful that, you're always here!"
Pick a day to start, speak out from your heart
You're no longer alone!
