Britten: Peter Grimes, Op. 33 / Act 2: "From the gutter"

歌詞

Stood on the street in the face of a holocaust With thunder in your voice As in the grace of great numbers A world is made To feel your choice And I love you For choosing to live with us And making some noise It's time that we joined our hands Across the world It's time that we joined our hands To save our world Whatever persuasion you are You must open your door If you mean to meet Come and be counted in whispers of multitude And come on your own feet I'd love to be able to say My old grandmother marched To people the street It's time that we joined our hands Across the world It's time that we joined our hands To save our world Before the guardian angels Disappear on puffs of angel dust Drop the bombs and guns and rust And split When this winter is over Elizabeth I will come for you Bearing songs on the wings Of great happiness To sing you through To a far future fountain Of destinies A room with a view It's time that we joined our hands Across our world It's time that we joined our hands To save our world
