This is the Garden That Stopped A War

put your head against the bark

of any tree in People's Park

they'll say what they're standing for

this is the garden that stopped a war

find a place to rest your head

plant a simple flower bed

all are welcome rich and poor

this is the garden that stopped a war



Chorus: this is the garden they tried to take

we are the people they tried to break

this is the landmark we're standing for

this is the garden that stopped a war

 

music dance and food to share 

smiling people everywhere 

sing together cry no more 

this is the garden that stopped a war 

wander through the sparkling grass 

set your thoughts adrift at last 

watch the clouds come back to shore 

this is the garden that stopped a war 

 

Chorus: this is the garden they tried to take 

we are the people they tried to break 

this is the landmark we're standing for 

this is the garden that stopped a war 

 

clouds that dance across the sky 

waltz with birds that dip and fly 

seagulls circle bow and soar 

this is the garden that stopped a war 

put your head against the bark 

of any tree in People's Park 

they'll say what they're standing for 

this is the garden that stopped a war 

 

Chorus: this is the garden they tried to take 

we are the people they tried to break 

this is the landmark we're standing for 

this is the garden that stopped a war
