Lyrics
Slips My Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the harvest is over
And the carnage is through
I will sing of my people
Sing out loud and true
When the valley is growing
And the rivers run clear
I will sing out my praises
Sing and sing and sing
If peace is the reason you want to fight for
Then peace is the last thing you'll find in war
If you want to end the distruction and plight
Say no to the forces
No to the fighting and killing the wounded and already sore
Or wait for the new men to join the new war
(chorus)
Oh mother am I wasting my time
Should I bring down the barricade
Or bring down the line
Should I flee the resistance or join the front line
Should I die for the reason that slips my mind?
When we learn to have courage
And we learn to be strong
For the forces of nature
Against the forces of wrong
