"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" 
 
Let them in, Peter 
They are very tired 
Give them couches where the angels sleep 
And light those fires 
 
Let them wake whole again 
To brand new dawns 
Fired by the sun not wartime's 
Bloody guns 
 
May their peace be deep 
Remember where the broken bodies lie 
God knows how young they were 
To have to die 
God knows how young they were 
To have to die 
 
So give them things they like 
Let them make some noise 
Give dance hall bands not golden harps 
To these our boys 
 
And let them love, Peter 
For they've had no time 
They should have trees and bird songs 
And hills to climb 
 
The taste of summer in a ripened pear 
And girls sweet as meadow wind 
With flowing hair 
 
And tell them how they are missed 
But say not to fear 
It's gonna be alright 
With us down here 
 
Let them in, Peter 
Let them in, Peter 
Let them in, Peter
