You Say The Battle Is Over - John Denver
And you say that the battle is over

And you say that the war is all done

Go tell it to those
With the wind in their nose
Who run from the sound of the gun

And write it on the sides
Of the great whaling ships

Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

With the wind in their eyes
It is they who must die

And it's we who must measure the loss

And you say that the battle is over

And finally the world is at peace

You mean no one is dying
And mothers don't weep

Or it's not in the papers at least

There are those who would deal
In the darkness of life
There are those who would tear down the sun

And most men are ruthless
But some will still weep
When the gifts we were given are gone

Now the blame cannot fall
On the heads of a few
It's become such a part of the race

It's eternally tragic

That that which is magic
Be killed at the end of the glorious chase

From young seals to great whales
From waters to wood
They will fall just like weeds in the wind

With fur coats and perfumes
And trophies on walls

What a hell of a race to call men

And you say that the battle is over

And you say that the war is all done

Go tell it to those

With the wind in their nose

Who run from the sound of the gun

And write it on the sides
Of the great whaling ships

Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

With the wind in their eyes
It is they who must die

And it's we who must measure the loss

With the wind in their eyes
It is they who must die

And it's we who must measure the cost
