Lyrics
  • When the Flowers Bloom on No Man’s Land (What a Wonderful Day That Will Be) Verse: There’s a vision always haunts me of a day I long to see, When hearts that are sad, all will be glad, on this wonderful day to be. When joys take the place of fears, and smiles take the place of tears. Refrain: When the flowers bloom on No Man’s Land, bringing a message of peace and love, And the cannon’s roar is heard no more, what a blessing from above
  • When the sun shines through the clouds of war, when peace covers all of the earth and sea, And when each mother’s son has laid down his gun, what a wonderful day that will be. Verse: Ev’rywhere a heart is longing, praying that the day is done, When far from alarms, safe from all harms, ev’ry mother will hold her son. When good will to ev’ry man will be ev’ry nation’s plan. Refrain
