Today (This Army’s for Peace)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Today the choices have all clashed upon my head
Is it wrong to leave your charges
And go charging round the bend?
[Chorus]
Mansions, there are mansions in the sun
There's no hiding, defying the night
Come out into the light today
[Verse 3]
Today my thoughts were like a tent put up in heaven
Build a shelter for your mind
Invite a stranger to come in and taste the wine
[Chorus]
Mansions, there are mansions in the sun
There's no hiding, defying the night
Come out into the light today
[Verse 4]
Today they want to tear my body from my mind
The rust will show
I am an iron bridge that's giving into time
[Verse 5]
Today the wind blows west the heather and the broom
Becalms the spirit of the fighting man
And lays him where his wild spirit belongs
[Verse 6]
Victims will be justified
The lame will be leaping
This army's for peace
Come out into the light today
[Verse 7]
Victims will be justified
The lame are believing
This army's for peace
Come out into the light today
