Joan Baez - All the World Has Gone By

All the world has gone by

All the winds have gone by

Now you and I are going by

For hope is the flower of childhood

And memories sister to silence

And tears are the anguish of truth

For children are choirs of starlight

And petals are names by your bedside

And dream are the murmurs of yesterday's rose

All the world has gone by

All the winds have gone by

Now you and I are going by

For fear is the masking of reason

And freedom is false without honor

And peace is the flame we hold in our hands

For men are the leaves on the willow

And love is the whispering wind

And the gardens we share are never alone

All the world has gone by

All the winds have gone by

Now you and I are going by

All the world has gone by

All the winds have gone by

Now you and I have gone by
