Those heavey boots That marched our streets Will never march again Peace has come upon our land No longer a world insane, Six long years of fear and dread With so much uncertainty Now we sleep at night in bed At peace and feeling free, The world it is a nicer place The war came to an end Instead of army uniforms It's clothes for working men, No longer are we out to kill Battling for right and wrong Now we are learning building skills To make our houses strong, The scene of this world is changing It is so very clear to see Children are out there playing On swings and climbing trees. Now families go on holidays They head for sand and sea And ice cream stands and and big brass bands The way that life should be, Things it seems are better now There's just one thing to say The futures looking brighter Let's pray it will stay that way,
