Peace Call

Written by Woody Guthrie, performed by Eliza Gilkyson (Thanks to Ed H.)

Open your hearts to the paradise
To the peace of the heavenly angels
Takes away that woeful shadow
Dancing on your wall
Take to the skies of peace
Oh friends of peace of the heavenly father
Get ready for my bugle call of peace
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the bugle sounding
Roaming round my land
My city and my town
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the voices ringing
Louder while my bugle calls for peace
Thick war clouds will throw their shadows
Darkening the world around you
But in my life of peace
Your dark illusions fall
Think and pray along the way
Forgive the ones around you
Get ready for my bugle call of peace
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the bugle sounding
Roaming round my land
My city and my town
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the voices ringing
Louder while my bugle calls for peace
If these war storms fill your heart
With a thousand kinds of worry
Keep to my road of peace
You’ll never have to fear
Keep in the sun and look around
The face of peace and plenty
Get ready for my bugle call of peace
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the bugle sounding
Roaming round my land
My city and my town
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the voices ringing
Louder while my bugle calls for peace
I’ll clear my house of the weeds of fear
Turn in the friends around me
With my smile of peace
I’ll greet you one and all
I’ll work, I’ll fight, I’ll dance and sing in peace
A youthful spirit
Get ready for my bugle call of peace
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the bugle sounding
Roaming round my land
My city and my town
Peace, Peace, Peace
I can hear the voices ringing
Louder while my bugle calls for peace
