Today (This Army's For Peace)

Today

I want to slip back to the dream I had

When you had urged me to look out

Upon the window of my life

Today

The choices have all clashed upon my head

Is it wrong to leave your charges

And go charging round the bend?

Mansions, there are mansions in the sun

There's no hiding

Defying the night

Come out into the light

Today

Today

My thoughts were like a tent put up in heaven

Build a shelter for your mind

Invite a stranger to come in and share the wine

Mansions, there are mansions in the sun

There's no hiding

Defying the night

Come out into the light

Today

Today

They want to tear my body from my mind

The rust will show

I am an iron bridge that's giving into time

Today

The wind blows west the heather and the broom becalms

The spirit of a fighting man and lays him

Where his wild spirit belongs

Victims will be justified

The lame will be leaping

This army's for peace

Come out into the light

Today

Victims will be justified

The lame are believing

This army's for peace

Come out into the light

Today
