JOHN DENVER - Bread & Roses Lyrics

Artist: JOHN DENVER

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: John Denver

As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts gray

Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread & roses, bread & roses

As we go marching, marching
We battle too for men
For they are women's children
And we mother them again

Our lives shall not be sweetened
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread but give us roses

As we go marching, marching
We bring the greater days
For the rising of the women
Means the rising of the race

No more the drudge and idler
Ten that toil where one reposes
But the sharing of life's glories
Bread & roses, bread & roses
