In honor of the of the brave men and women in Ukraine fighting for their freedom Orpheus presents, from our spring concert of 2017, Who Are the Brave (music by Joseph Martin with lyrics by J. Paul Williams). Lyrics:
“Who are the brave? Those who go to war. Who are the brave? Those who fight no more. Those who gave their lives, protecting freedom’s shore. Who are the brave? Those who serve in war. Who are the brave? Those who live with pain. Who are the brave? Those whose lives are plain. Those with healthy bodies, those protecting the unsure. Who are the brave? Those who serve the poor. Who are the brave? Those whose speech is free? Who are the brave? Those loving liberty. All those with heart and mind, protecting all they find. Who are the brave? Those who serve mankind. These are the brave.” - J. Paul Williams Want to support the people in Ukraine? Here's how you can help (from NPR) |
