Kurt Weill
Democracy’s Call
[MINNY BELLE]
Though Washington did fighting stand
Embattled in the fray
My children, 'twas that this great land
Should know a happier day
Of peace, peace, peace
And then his flag was furled
Washington, Washington
The leader of the world
[MAYOR]
And then when frightful carnage swept
With red and direful gleam
Across our land 'twas Lincoln kept
The vision and the dream
[VILLAGERS]
Of peace, peace, peace
And then his flag was furled
Lincoln, Abe Lincoln
The leader of the world
[MAYOR]
And now today a mighty third
Proclaims that men arе free
'Tis Wilson with the golden word
Or peacе and liberty
[VILLAGERS]
Of peace, peace, peace
And thus his flag was furled
Wilson, great Wilson
The leader of the world
The leader of the world
