I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Yes, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Don't you know, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Because President Eisenhower has done just what he said
We're hoping there will be no more misery, and no more sadness
No no no no no no dying, there'll be, in the land
Hope we'll have happiness, and joy, and peace of mind
Because we know God has made this world
And made it for the good and kind
I'm seeing all you mothers, now don't you weep and moan
I know that you are glad because your sons are comin' home
Note to wise, sisters and brothers, you can wipe your cheery eyes
Because, sure as I'm singing, the sun has begun to shine
I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Yes, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Don't you know, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Because President Eisenhower has done just what he said
Yes, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Don't you know, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Because President Eisenhower has done just what he said
We're hoping there will be no more misery, and no more sadness
No no no no no no dying, there'll be, in the land
Hope we'll have happiness, and joy, and peace of mind
Because we know God has made this world
And made it for the good and kind
I'm seeing all you mothers, now don't you weep and moan
I know that you are glad because your sons are comin' home
Note to wise, sisters and brothers, you can wipe your cheery eyes
Because, sure as I'm singing, the sun has begun to shine
I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Yes, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Don't you know, I'm so glad at last, there's peace in Korea
Because President Eisenhower has done just what he said

Scritta da Rosetta Tharpe e M. Asher
Testo trovato su The Authentic History Center
Trovo il brano nella raccolta intitolata “Complete Sister Rosetta Tharpe Vol. 4: 1951-1953”, Frémeaux & Associés, Francia, 2005.
Nei tre anni che durò (1950-53) la guerra in Corea fece quasi 200.000 fra i soldati della coalizione ONU a guida statunitense (soprattutto sudcoreani – 140.000 ca – e americani – 35.000 ca) e tra i 350.000 e i 750.000 morti tra quelli nordcoreani e cinesi. Cifre impressionanti che però non sono nulla rispetto agli oltre 2 milioni di morti patiti dalla popolazione civile.
