If I Were Free Full Lyrics
If I were free to speak my mind
I'd tell a tale to all mankind
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade
Of how we've fought and how we've paid
This weary world has had its fill
Of words of war on every hill
The time has come for peaceful days
And peaceful men of peaceful ways
If I were free to speak my mind
I'd tell a tale to all mankind
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade
Of how we've fought and how we've paid
When all mankind has ceased to fight
I'll raise my head in thanks each night
For this rich Earth and all it means
For golden days and peaceful dreams
If I were free to speak my mind (if I were free)
I'd tell a tale to all mankind (I'd tell a tale to all mankind)
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade (how they bloom, and how they fade)
Of how we've fought and how we've paid
