Do It Now (tune of Bella Ciao
We need to wake up -We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it now, now, now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
We're on a planet that has a problem
We've got to solve it, get involved
And do it now, now, now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
We'll make it greener (Make it greener)
We'll make it cleaner (We'll make it cleaner)
We'll make it last, make it fast
And do it now, now, now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
No point in waiting or hesitating
We must get wise, take no more lies
And do it now, now, now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
Strangest Dream by Ed McCurdy
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war, I dreamed I saw a mighty room, all filled with women & men
And the paper they were signing said, They’d never fight again
And when the paper was all were signed, And a million copies made,
They all joined hands & bowed their heads,And grateful prayers were prayed.
And the people in the streets below, Were dancing round and round.
And swords & guns & uniforms, Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before, I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war
Aint Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
turn me around, turn me around
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
Gonna keep on a walking, keep on a talking
Marching up to freedom land
Ain't gonna let racism turn me around
turn me around, turn me around
Ain't gonna let racism turn me around
Gonna keep on a walking, keep on a talking
Marching up to freedom land
Sexism, homophobia, politicians, ...
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
Children picked them every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn
Where have all the children gone
Long time passing
Where have all the children gone
Long time ago
Where have all the children gone
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn
Where have all the soldiers gone
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn
Where have all the graveyards gone
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone
Gone to flowers every one
When will they ever learn
Oh When will we ever learn
If I Had a Hammer by Lee Hayes & 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.
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning,…
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning,…
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.
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.
Peace Call
Woody Guthrie
Chorus:
Peace, peace, peace,
I can hear the bugle sounding,
Roaming around my land, my city and my town;
Peace, peace, peace,
I can hear the horn and voices ring louder,
While my bugle calls for peace.
We Come From the Mountain
We come from the mountain
We come from the mountain
Go back to the mountain
Turn the world around
We come from the mountain
Go back to the mountain
Turn the world around

Imagine (John Lennon)
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You,You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Glory of Love (Bobby Hebb)
You gotta give a little, take a little
Let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
You gotta laugh a little, cry a little,
Before the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's a few of us,
We've got the world and all it's charms
And when this world is through with us,
We've got each others arms.
You gotta win a little, lose a little,
And always sing the blues a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
