The Times They Are A-Changin’ – Bob Dylan
If your eyes aren’t deceiving you
You will see that they are, a-changin’
Look around you, Everything is new
So, you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Blowin’ in the Wind – Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
Where Have All the Flowers Gone? – Pete Seeger
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
If I Had a Hammer – Pete Seeger
If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning
I’d hammer in the evening, all over this land
I’d hammer out danger, I’d hammer out a warning
I’d hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
We Shall Overcome – Pete Seeger
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day;
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe,
We shall overcome some day.
The long hot summer days are gone,
All the leaves are falling and it’s time to come home;
It’s time to come home.
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand some day;
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe,
We’ll walk hand in hand some day.
