On the Road to Aldermaston
On the road from Aldermaston on an Easter Sunday morn
A hundred thousand marchers moved in the face of jeer and scorn
From Inverness and London town, from Pakistan and Greece,
And their badge was the badge of the C.N.D., their cause the cause of
peace.
And as we looked high on his smiling eye these words I heard him say,
‘For far too long I've been hid from view by dark and thunderous clouds,
I'll lead you to Trafalgar and I'll lead you further still,
To a world of peace and harmony where none shall want to kill,
Where the mother Earth I've given you will be your pride and joy,
And where none in pursuit of the golden gain will wish her to destroy.’
