Lyrics

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
And then when frightful carnage swept
With red and direful gleam
Across our land 'twas Lincoln kept
The vision and the dream
Of peace, peace, peace
And then his flag was furled
Lincoln came, Lincoln
The leader of the world
And now today a mighty word
Proclaims that men are free
'Tis Wilson with the golden word
Of peace and liberty
Of peace, peace, peace
And thus his flag is furled
Wilson, great Wilson
The leader of the world
Written by: Kurt Weill, Paul Green
