When The Lights Go On Again
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the
skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding
rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world
Your Turn
As you observe each example of WWII
propaganda, respond to the questions on
your student worksheet.
 After everyone has had time to respond,
we will “buzz” with our table groups about
our thinking.
