Lyrics from "A Letter to St. Peter", written in 1942 by poet Elma Dean

John Mood

The Lyrics:“Let Them In Peter”Author UnknownReportedly found written on the wall of a hospital in the Philippines in World War IILet them in, PeterFor they are very tiredGive them couches where the angels sleepAnd light those firesLet them wake whole againTo brand new dawnsFired by the sunNot war-times bloody gunsMay their peace be deepRemember where the broken bodies lieGod knows how young they wereTo have to dieWell God knows how young they wereTo have to dieGive them things they likeLet them make some noiseGive dance hall bands not golden harpsTo these our boysLet them love PeterFor they've had no timeThey should have bird songs and treesAnd hills to climbThe taste of summerIn a ripened pearAnd girls as sweet as meadow windAnd flowing hairAnd tell them how they are missedBut say not to fearIt's gonna be all rightWith us down hereIt's gonna be all rightWith us down hereLet them in, PeterFor they are very tiredGive them couches where the angels sleepAnd light those firesLet them wake whole againTo brand new dawnsFired by the sunNot war-times bloody gunsMay their peace be deepRemember where the broken bodies lieGod knows how young they wereTo have to dieWell God knows how young they wereTo have to dieAnd tell them how they are missedBut say not to fearIt's gonna be all rightWith us down hereIt's gonna be all rightWith us down here
