This really beautiful and powerful
song for worker's and women's rights
has been covered by many different
artists and in different versions
has different verses. I choose the
one from the movie "Pride" however,
because for me that's the most
touching version. Enjoy :)
As Gwe go marching marEmching
In the beAmauty of the dDay
A miGllion darkened kiEmtchens
A thoAmusand mill lofts grDey
Are toGuched with all the raEmdiance
That a suAmdden sun discloDses
For the peGople hear us siEmnging
"BrCead and rGoses, brCead and rD7o-sGes"
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 sweated
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread but give us roses
As we go marching marching
Unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing
Their ancient cry for bread
Small art and love and beauty
Their drudging spirits knew
Yes, it is bread we fight for
But we fight for roses, too
