Dance the War Away (formerly “Together in the Fray”)

I had a dream while sleeping low
As vivid as the day
You were fighting by my side
Bedecked with colors gay
Arm by arm, no one could harm us
Running in the fray
A merry singing in my ears
As we danced the war away
You leapt, you ran, you smiled, you sang
I Felt my bravery swell
Standing with you at my side
As swords about us fell
The beating of the battle drum
Called it’s rough tattoo
The rhythm of my coeur du guerre
Matched every beat with you
Arm by arm, no one could harm us
Running in the fray
A merry singing in my ears
As we danced the war away
The sky was blue, cloudless, bright
Our golden armor shone
Such Joie du combat in the air
As I had never known
The field was grassy flat and green
The banners rippling waves
We heard lay on the cannon roar
And a mighty fight we gave
Arm by arm, no one could harm us
Running in the fray
A merry singing in my ears
As we danced the war away
Surrounded by our friends we were
On fields bordered with hay
We helped raise up the noble dead
And together walked way.
I had a dream while sleeping low
As vivid as the day
So real I thought I lived it once
Perhaps some day I may
Arm by arm, no one could harm us
Running in the fray
A merry singing in my ears
As we danced the war away
