Fortune Of Soldiers by Judy Collins


Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war

Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes?

Till the fighters forgot what they're doing it for

And reason was lost in the sound of the drums

 

â€~Twas the fortune of soldiers to be always alone

Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones

Far from their daydreams far from their homes

Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they say peace can never be

It's a fantasy they didn't know about you

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they said peace can never be

They just couldn't see what one dreamer can do

â€~T is the fortune of bankers and builders of arms

To worship the profit however it comes

Up in their towers sheltered from harm

Far from the smoke and the sound of the drums

 

â€~T is the fortune of dreamers to see what they see

To live with the scorn till the miracle comes

To teach us the music and show us the key

And the chorus to silence the sound of the drums

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they say peace can never be

It's a fantasy they didn't know about you

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they say that peace can never be

They just couldn't see what one dreamer can do

 

â€~T is the fortune of children to have such a choice

To grow up to be dreamers or builders of guns

Born to be angels born to rejoice

Not to grow up to the sound of the drums

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they say peace can never be

It's just a fantasy they didn't know about you

 

Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true?

When they said that peace can never be

It's a fantasy
