SONG WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

This song came out of the WWII era, out of Great Britain.   It moved me to tears then, it moves me to tears now.  Today, when we think of Peace, do we think only of our own home?  Our own country?  As long as there are no battles here, no terrorist acts here, we are at Peace?  We say, “We are fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them here.”  And we call that Peace.

           WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

There’ll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, when the world is free.

There’ll be love and laughter,

And peace ever after,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

The shepherd will tend his sheep,

The valley will bloom again,

And Jimmy will go to sleep

In his own little room again.

There’s be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, when the world is free.
