Frank Sinatra - World War None! lyrics
[Frank Sinatra - World War None! lyrics]
Where I live in the desert
It's so peaceful and warm
And the cares of the world drift by
Like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time
When a man has to think of the future
(War, war, war) Has to think
Of his children (war, war, war)
And the world they will live in
(war, war, war, war)
I'm not sure if I can do anything
To help them, but I can try, i can try
Time to build us a fire
Seven hundred feet high
We can fashion a fire
(fire) that will reach the
Sky (reach the sky)
We can feed the flames with
The unkind deeds we've done (with the fire)
'Cause we've got to get ready
For World War None
(What we want is to burn our
Sins in a sort of furnace)
(We'll be stoking the fire with
The lies we know)
All our false suspicions we can
Burn them one by one
That will help us get ready
For World War None (A little love is more
Effective than a rifle)
(A little faith will take you
Farther than it can, The rule we follow is
The one forever spoken)
(They haven't got the truth on their lips)
Keep on feeding the fire
Till the fire is hot
With those un-neighborly feelings we
Deny we've got keep on trying for peace
Until that peace is won
Then you're practically ready for
World War None (A whispered word or touch is
Louder than a bugle)
(A silent prayer is so much
Stronger than a sword)
(And the bombs that can't replace
The stained glass window)
For which we should thank the good Lord
Thank the good Lord)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
If we cherish our fire
(if we cherish our fire)
It could possibly be (it could possibly be)
Bright enough to be seen
(bright enough to be seen)
Far across the sea (far across the sea)
When those other countries
(when those other countries)
See what we have done (what we've done)
Maybe they'll help us get ready
(get ready, get ready) for World War None
(World War None)
It's so peaceful and warm
And the cares of the world drift by
Like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time
When a man has to think of the future
(War, war, war) Has to think
Of his children (war, war, war)
And the world they will live in
(war, war, war, war)
I'm not sure if I can do anything
To help them, but I can try, i can try
Time to build us a fire
Seven hundred feet high
We can fashion a fire
(fire) that will reach the
Sky (reach the sky)
We can feed the flames with
The unkind deeds we've done (with the fire)
'Cause we've got to get ready
For World War None
(What we want is to burn our
Sins in a sort of furnace)
(We'll be stoking the fire with
The lies we know)
All our false suspicions we can
Burn them one by one
