Now don't you think it's crazy this old world and it's ways Whoever thought the sixties would be called the good old days Like The Weavers sang to you Wasn’t that a time When you raised your hands and voices on the line
Chorus
And we all sang bread end roses Joe Hill and union maids We linked our arms and told each other We are not afraid solidarity forever would go rolling through the hall We shall overcome together one and all
The more I study history the more I seem to find That in every generation there were times just like that time With folks like you me who thought that we were all alone Within that honored moment found a home
Chorus
And though each generation fears that it maybe the last Our presence here is witness to the power of the past And just as we have drawn our strength from those who now are gone The younger hands will take our work and carry on
Chorus
Repeat: We shall overcome together one and allmore »
