SING A SEEGER FOR JUSTICE

 

 

 

Have you noticed

That protest marches are now marred by violence?

 

Have you noticed the noise, the chaos?

 

The death !

 

Have you forgotten the songs?

 

Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

 

If You Had A Hammer,

Would you hammer out

A lilting cry for justice?

 

WE SHALL OVERCOME

If we remember the message:

 

Next time you go out into the streets

To demand justice,

Remember Pete Seeger:

 

Sing, Sing a Song !

Sing it loud, Sing it long,

 

The word is the sword of justice;

The music is the spoonful of sugar

That helps the medicine go down.

 

Sing a Seeger for Justice.
