Singing for Our Lives
(Holly Near)
We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a justice-seeking people
And we are singing, singing for our lives //
We are young and old together
And we are singing, singing for our lives //
We are a land of many colors,
And we are singing, singing for our lives //
America The Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Get Together (Come On, People Now)
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on, people now . . .
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
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
Come on, people now . . .
Get Up, Stand Up (for your rights)
// Get up, stand up

It's not all that glitter is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, ay
You stand up for your right
Get up, stand up . . .
Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away everything, and make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah
Get up, stand up (yeah, yeah)
Stand up for your right (oh-ooh)

Get up, stand up (keep on struggling on)
Don't give up the fight (yeah)
We're sick and tired of your ism and schism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
We know and we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light (what you gon' do?)
We going to stand up for our right (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So you'd better
Get up, stand up (in the morning, don't give it up)
Stand up for your right (stand up right now)

Do you hear the people sing
(from Les Misérables)
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

We shall all be free . . .
We are not afraid . . . TODAY

This Land is Your Land
This land is your land, and 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
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land . . .
I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was a-sounding
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land . . .
God Bless America
(Irving Berlin)
God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
God bless America, my home sweet home
One More Step
(Joyce Poley)
One more step, we will take one more step
‘til there is peace for us and everyone
we’ll take one more step
One more word, we will say one more word
‘til every word is heard by everyone,
we’ll say one more word
One more song, we will sing one more song,
‘til every song is sung by everyone,
we’ll sing one more song
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home
Imagine
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 some day 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 some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing
(The New Seekers)
I'd like to build a world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honeybees
And snow-white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That’s the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away
Put your hand in my hand
Let’s begin today
Put your hand in my hand
Help me find the way
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
And I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

The Star Spangled Banner
O say, can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
Lean on Me
(Bill Withers)
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If I Had a Hammer
(Lee Hays/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 warning
I’d hammer out love, between my brothers & 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’ve got a hammer, and I’ve got a bell
And I’ve got a song to sing all over this land
It’s the hammer of justice, it’s the bell of freedom
It’s a song about love, between my brothers & my sisters
All over this land
Down By The Riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
down by the riverside (3x)

down by the riverside,

I ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
Gonna lay down my burden,
down by the riverside (3x)
gonna lay down my burden,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside.
I ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
ain't gonna study war no more
Let There Be Peace On Earth
Sy Miller and Jill Jackson
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be
With God our creator, children all are we
Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now
With every step I take, may this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live each moment
in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me
Somebody’s hurting my brother
(Yara Allen)
Somebody's hurting my brother
and it’s gone on far too long
Gone on far too long, gone on far too long
Somebody's hurting my brother
and it’s gone on far too long
And we won’t be silent anymore
Somebody's hurting my sister / my neighbors / our children /
my people
Somebody’s poisoning our waters…
Somebody's building a wall...
Somebody’s ignoring the homeless…
