"Let Them In was made into song by John Gorka from a poem found in a hospital in the Philippines during World War II. The nurse that found the poem kept it all these years until the recent war brought out all the memorabilia. Luckily, her daughter sent a copy to John"
5
Let them in, Peter
6
They are very tired
7
Give them couches where the angels sleep
8
And light those fires
9
Let them wake whole again
10
To brand new dawns
11
Fired by the sun not wartime's
12
Bloody guns
13
May their peace be deep
14
Remember where the broken bodies lie
15
God knows how young they were
16
To have to die
17
God knows how young they were
18
To have to die
19
So give them things they like
20
Let them make some noise
21
Give dance hall bands not golden harps
22
To these our boys
23
And let them love, Peter
24
For they've had no time
25
They should have trees and bird songs
26
And hills to climb
27
The taste of summer in a ripened pear
28
And girls sweet as meadow wind
29
With flowing hair
30
And tell them how they are missed
31
But say not to fear
32
It's gonna be alright
33
With us down here
34
Let them in, Peter
35
Let them in, Peter
36
Let them in, Peter
