2. This Land is Your Land - Woody Guthrie

Chorus

This land is your land; this land is my land

From California to the New York island

From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;

This land was made for you and me.

Verse 1

As I was walking, that ribbon of highway

I saw above me, that endless skyway;

I saw below me that golden valley,

This land was made for you and me.

[Chorus]

Verse 2

I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;

And all around me, a voice was sounding;

This land was made for you and me.

[Chorus]

Verse 3

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,

As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting:

This land was made for you and me.

3. Let’s Get Together - Chet Powers

Verse 1:

Love is but the song we sing,

And fear’s the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

Or make the angels cry

Know the dove is on the win

And you need not know why.

Chorus:

C’mon people now,

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try and love one another right now

Verse 2:

Some will come and some will go

We shall surely pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moments sunlight

Fading in the grass

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

If you hear the song I sing,

You must understand

You hold the key to love and fear

All in your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both

It’s there at your command.

[Chorus]

4. THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ - BOB DYLAN

Come gather round people wherever you roam,

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon, you’ll be drenched to the bone,

If your time to you is worth savin’

And you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone,

For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen

And Keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again

And don’t speak too soon, for the wheel’s still in spin

And there’s no tellin who that it’s namin’

For the loser now, will be later to win,

For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call

Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall

For he that gets hurt, will be he who has stalled

The battle outside ragin, will soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls, For the times they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

And don’t criticize what you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin’,

Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand

For the times they are a-changin’.

The Line it is drawn, the curse it is cast

The slow one now, will later be fast

As the present now will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin’, and the first one now will later be last,

For the times they are a-changin’.

5. IF I HAD A HAMMER - PETE SEEGER-abbreviated

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

Well, I got a hammer, And I got a bell

And I got a SONG TO SING, All over this land

It’s the hammer of justice, It’s the bell of freedom

It’s the song about love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

ALL OVER THIS LAAAAAANNNNNNND (big finish)

6. It’s Hard Rain Gonna Fall – Bob Dylan

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

And where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains

I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

[Refrain]

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?

And what did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

I saw a black branch with blood that kept dripping

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleeding

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

I saw ten-thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children.

[Refrain]

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

And what did you hear, my darling young one?

I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warning

I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world

I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing

I heard ten-thousand whispering and nobody listening

I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing

I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter

I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley.

[Refrain]

Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son?

And who did you meet, my darling young one?

I met a young child beside a dead pony

I met a white man who walked a black dog

I met a young woman, her body was burning

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow

I met one man who was wounded in love

I met another man who was wounded in hatred.

[Refrain]

And what will you do now, my blue-eyed son?

And what'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-going back out 'fore the rain starts a-falling

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison

And the executioner's face is always well hidden

Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten

Where black is the color, where none is the number

And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it

And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking

But I'll know my song well before I start singing.

[Refrain]

7. For What It’s Worth - Buffalo Springfield

Verse 1:

There’s something happening here

But what it is, ain’t exactly clear

There’s a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware

Chorus:

I think it’s time we stop

Children, what’s that sound?

Everybody look – what’s going down?

Verse 2:

There’s battle lines being drawn

Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong

Young people speaking their minds

Getting so much resistance from behind

Chorus

Verse 3:

What a field day for the heat

A thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs,

Mostly saying, “hooray for our side”

Chorus

8. Singing for Our Lives Song by Holly Near

We are a gentle, angry people
