Gather round Mars' knee To read this week's letter
I wonder what will be
We hope the news is better
Music
The men here die like flies, Mar
I bandage their blinded eyes, Mar
And the kids with their aching feet ain't got nothing to eat, Mar
The hospital has no door, Dad
Soldiers lie on the floor, Dad
I did my best, but I can't take anymore, Dad
Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's seen the light in the world
It's too late to part, Dad
And I don't think she'll go away again
My dear family
The world and the people in it
Go the way they will
And there's not a man, black or white, who can ever hope to stop them
So Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's seen the light in the world
It's too late to fight
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's seen the light in the world
It's too late to fight
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again
Rachel's coming home, Rachel's coming home
