Font:      
Align:    
  • This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the gift you are and the john denver collection - rocky mountain high albums.
  • As we go marching, marching
  • In the beauty of the day
  • A million darkened kitchens
  • A thousand mill lofts grey
  • Are touched with all the radiance
  • That a sudden sun discloses
  • For the people hear us singing
  • Bread and roses, bread and roses
  • As we go marching, marching
  • We battle too for men
  • For they are womens 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 lifes glories
  • Bread and roses, bread and roses
  • Words by james oppenheim (1912), music by john denver
