Lyrics
This
song
appears
on
three
albums,
and
was
first
released
on
the
higher
ground
album,
and
has
also
been
released
on
the
gift
you
are
and
the
john
denver
collection
- rocky
mountain
high
albums.
As
we
go
marching,
marching
In
the
beauty
of
the
day
A
million
darkened
kitchens
A
thousand
mill
lofts
grey
Are
touched
with
all
the
radiance
That
a
sudden
sun
discloses
For
the
people
hear
us
singing
Bread
and
roses,
bread
and
roses
As
we
go
marching,
marching
We
battle
too
for
men
For
they
are
women's
children
And
we
mother
them
again
Our
lives
shall
not
be
sweetened
From
birth
until
life
closes
Hearts
starve
as
well
as
bodies
Give
us
bread,
but
give
us
roses
As
we
go
marching,
marching
We
bring
the
greater
days
For
the
rising
of
the
women
Means
the
rising
of
the
race
No
more
the
drudge
and
idler
Ten
that
toil
where
one
reposes
But
the
sharing
of
life's
glories
Bread
and
roses,
bread
and
roses
