Intro:  ,,,

                            
Let them in Peter, For they are very tired
                                              
Give them couches where the angels sleep, And light those fires
                               
Let them wake whole again, To brand new dawns
                                
Fired by the sun, Not war-times bloody guns
                                             
May their peace be deep, Remember where the broken bodies lie
                                 
God knows how young they were, To have to die
                                                  
Well God knows how young they were, To have to die
                                     
Give them things they like, Let them make some noise
                                           
Give dance hall bands not golden harps, To these our boys
                                 
Let them love Peter, For they've had no time
                                           
They should have bird songs and trees, And hills to climb
                             
The taste of summer, And a ripened pear
                                    
And girls sweet as meadow wind, And flowing hair
                                       
And tell them how they are missed, But say not to fear
                                       
It's gonna be all right,    With us down here
