Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room We bled inside, each other's wounds We all had caught, the same disease We all sang, the songs of peace
Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown

Oh, raise them higher again And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no room We bled inside, each other's wounds We all had caught, the same disease We all sang, the songs of peace
