When Men Shall Sleep
When men shall sleep away their fears
And beat their swords to pruning shears
Then shall they wake with joy and cheers
To long sought peace; a thousand years
And beat their swords to pruning shears
Then shall they wake with joy and cheers
To long sought peace; a thousand years
The same will be surprised to see
How simple is prosperity
And then look back with shame and guilt
For all the love they could have built
How simple is prosperity
And then look back with shame and guilt
For all the love they could have built
But as for women at that dawn
Who spent their lives enduring wrongs
Yet chose to sing the beauty song
With less surprise they'll smile and yawn
Who spent their lives enduring wrongs
Yet chose to sing the beauty song
With less surprise they'll smile and yawn
Somehow they knew it all along
