Soldier's Home Lyrics

The snow is lightly falling
On the Soldiers" Home tonight
The Christmas tree in the parlor
Bathes the room in light
And the young and old gather round
And lift their voices to Heaven in a joyous sound
'Dear Lord above, for what it"s worth
We at the old Soldiers" Home
Pray for peace on Earth
No more war, never no more, bring "em all home
Peace on Earth

Pete Seeger"s on the stereo
Singing songs of peace
A few tears, a few smiles
Private memories

And the young and old gather round
And lift their voices to Heaven in a joyous sound
'Dear Lord above, for what it"s worth
We at the old Soldiers" Home
Pray for peace on Earth
No more war, never no more, bring "em all home
Peace on Earth
The old boys from the Big One
The younger kids from "Nam
All grateful to be together and free
As brothers-in-peace
No longer brothers-in-arms

Last year, a young girl from the university
Called up, said she"s doing some paper for school
And could she talk to me
But, she"s got a bad attitude that I"ve heard before
She won"t catch anybody hear singing the glories of war
And the young and old gather round
And lift their voices to Heaven in a joyous sound
'Dear Lord above, for what it"s worth
We at the old Soldiers" Home
Pray for peace on Earth

No more war, never no more, bring "em all home
Peace on Earth
Right now!
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
