Lyrics:

I walked all night through the city streets
Heard tired songs and shuffling feet
Brothers and sisters, cold in the rain
Still we whispered, “peace again.”

Oh, the dawn is marching in, my friend
Over the shadows where the long nights bend
And though the soldiers line the square
The dawn is marching everywhere.

A broken sign on a dusty road
A quiet boy with a heavy load
He asked me softly, “tell me why
Men keep falling from the sky?”

Oh, the dawn is marching in, my friend
Over the shadows where the long nights bend
And though the soldiers line the square
The dawn is marching everywhere.

The morning sun through the gray smoke shone
On hands held tight so we're not alone
And though the wind might carry fear
Still the voice of peace is clear.

Oh, the dawn is marching in, my friend
Over the shadows where the long nights bend
And though the soldiers line the square
The dawn is marching everywhere.
