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

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

Bread and roses bread and roses

Our lives shall not be sweetened

From birth until life closes

Hearts starve as well as bodies

Give us bread but give us roses

Bread And Roses - Judy Collins
