Artist/Band: Judy Collins
Lyrics for Song: Fortune Of Soldiers
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - 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



?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



?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



?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



?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
