ON THE ROAD FROM ALDERMASTON
ON THE ROAD FROM ALDERMASTON
by

On the road from Aldermaston
On an Easter Sunday morn
A hundred thousand marchers moved
In the face of jeer and scorn
From Inverness and London town
From Pakistan and Greece
And their badge was the badge of the CND
Their cause, the cause of peace
The sun rose far that morning
To guide us on our way
And as we looked high on his smiling eye
These words I heard him say
For far too long I've been hid from view
By dark and thunderous clouds
Ah, but now I can shine on this daughter of mine
With her singing, surging crowds
I'll lead you to Trafalgar
And I'll lead you further still
To a world of peace and harmony
Where none shall want to kill
Where the mother earth I've given you
Will be your pride and joy
And where none in pursuit of the golden gain
Will wish her to destroy
On the road from Aldermaston
On an Easter Sunday morn
A hundred thousand marchers moved
In the face of jeer and scorn
From Inverness and London town
From Pakistan and Greece
And their badge was the badge of the CND
Their cause, the cause of peace
