There are ways you can do your part
When peace is restored to the earth again.

And whether 1 live or die,
Be glad l have pictured the worlds great
need
With the skill of an artists eye
"Ah stay plead with the poet friend,
There is much that you can do,
The world has need of the songs you sing,
And surely they don't need you"
But Lean sing on the battlefield.
And IL should fail be glad
I've given the world my greatest song,
By giving the best L had
"And you I said will not waste that
That has moved the world to tears,
With peals of echoing cheerss
"Ah what is voice if it cannot sing,
If the note only dies in the throat,
I'll sing from my soul on the battle front,
And I'll sound my clearest note
And what of you whose deft fingers fly
Ger the keys of the instrument,
While spelIbound We follow your changing
The players mood is spent"
I'll play on the heartsrings of men whom
III bring music out of the soul,
When l can do that thru the service give.
III feel 1 am reaching my goal
And you in the humber walks of life.
Who toll for your bread each day,
What gift do you bring as sacrifice,
\ march
An aged mother, a wife and child.
Depend alone upon me.
But my son shall know that his father died,
For love of humanity
No more will 1 plead for the talents of
Each man in the ranks pays his price,
Giving all that he is, whether gifted or
In his supreme sacrifice.
