IF I WERE FREE
(Travis Edmonson)

Lyrics to this Travis Edmonson composition which he did not sing on record:

This weary world has had its fill
Of words of war on every hill.
The time has come for peaceful days
And peaceful men of peaceful ways.

If I were free to speak my mind,
I'd tell a tale to all mankind
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade
Of how we've fought and how we've paid.

When all mankind has ceased to fight
I'll raise my head in thanks each night
For this rich Earth and all it means
For golden days and peaceful dreams.

If I were free to speak my mind,
I'd tell a tale to all mankind
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade
Of how we've fought and how we've paid.
