BIG YELLOW TAXI () They paved paradise As I was walking that ribbon of highway, And put up a parking lot I saw above me that endless skyway: With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot I saw below me that golden valley:

This land was made for you and me. Chorus: Chorus Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it’s gone I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps They paved paradise To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And put up a parking lot

And all around me a voice was sounding: They took all the trees This land was made for you and me. Put 'em in a tree museum Chorus And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to see 'em When the sun came shining and I was strolling, Chorus And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting: Hey farmer, farmer Put away the D.D.T. now This land was made for you and me. Give me spots on my apples Chorus But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Chorus As I went walking, I saw a sign there And on the sign it said, "No Trespassing." Late last night But on the other side, it didn't say nothing, I heard that screen door slam That side was made for you and me. And a big yellow taxi Chorus Came and took away my old man Chorus In the shadow of the steeple, I saw my people, By the relief office, I seen my people; Late last night I heard that screen door slam 3

Chorus Chorus: We are the hand of caring Hold on, Hold on Reaching out to those in need, 5

Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold On (x2) I will pray that they will always live free Chorus The only thing that we did right Was the day we began to fight There is a time for the singing and the sunshine Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on Chorus There is a time for the thunder and the rain There is a time for the changing of the seasons my friend Ain’t but one chain we can stand, But there is one thing we must never change That’s the chain of hand in hand Chorus Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on Chorus THE POWER SONG (Elton John) (the first anthem of

We fight jail and violence, too the Environmental Movement from the 1970s‐ the But God’s love will see us through Anti‐Nuke Movement) Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on Chorus I have sold myself through and through

Got my hand on the freedom plough, I have walked in the darkness too Won’t take nothin’ for my journey now Felt a red sun, the living proof Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on Washed my hands in the honest truth Chorus I have carried this weight time after time Freedom’s road is mighty slow, I have bettered the dumb and the blind But we got no way else to go I've seen dignity fail and colours run Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on Chorus Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun

DON’T EVER TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM (Peter, Paul, And we walk, yes we walk and Mary) And we walk with the power every day Chorus: Never letting the light slip away Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives Reaching out, reaching in And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... Touching truth and touching skin One of these days Never letting the light slip away And we walk with the power every day I always thought that I'd see in my own lifetime An end to poverty, injustice and war If my faith is a fire then burn baby burn But now I've learned that that job will take a long, long We've held fire long enough to learn time Heat beneath hope is a healing light So there's one thing that must endure Kept alive by the flames of night Chorus Walk tall in the power day after day When I am old and thinking over the whole life that I've led Never, never, never lose sight of the way If there's one final wish left to me See the dawn come and the dusk hang I will pray that the children, who are yet to be born, See the power rise from an open hand

Adapted and arranged by Robert DeCormier, A little girl who never smiles Peter Yarrow, Noel and ) 'Cause I have braces on my teeth And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, I'm that kid on every playground Down by the riverside Who's always chosen last Down by the riverside A single teenage mother Down by the riverside Tryin' to overcome my past I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, You don't have to be my friend Down by the riverside But is it too much to ask Study war no more Chorus: Chorus: Don't laugh at me I ain't gonna study war no more Don't call me names Ain't gonna study war no more Don't get your pleasure from my pain Ain't gonna study war no more In God's eyes we're all the same I ain't gonna study war no more Someday we'll all have perfect wings Ain't gonna study war no more Don't laugh at me Ain't gonna study war no more I'm the beggar on the corner I'm gonna walk with that Prince of Peace, You've passed me on the street Down by the riverside And I wouldn't be out here beggin' Down by the riverside If I had enough to eat Down by the riverside And don't think I don't notice I'm gonna walk with that Prince of Peace, That our eyes never meet Down by the riverside Chorus Study war no more Chorus I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all I'm gonna lay down that atom bomb Chorus Down by the riverside Down by the riverside GONE THE RAINBOW (Peter, Paul, and Mary) (Anti‐ Down by the riverside War) I'm gonna lay down that atom bomb, Chorus: Down by the riverside Shule, shule, shule‐a‐roo, Study war no more Shule‐a‐rak‐shak, shule‐a‐ba‐ba‐coo.

Who could blame me, cry my fill; what will happen in the dry? Every tear would turn a mill, Johnny’s gone for a soldier. Will no one light the candle in the darkness Chorus Will no one be my guide, not let me fall I've lost the sense that tells me where the path is I sold my flax, I sold my wheel, I feel the chill of winter in my soul To buy my love a sword of steel; So it in battle he might wield, There's no way I can say the words more plainly Johnny’s gone for a soldier. There's no one left to point at anymore Chorus It's you and me and we must make the choice now And not destroy the life we're living for Oh my baby, oh, my love, Gone the rainbow, gone the dove. If we do these things in the greenwood, Your father was my only love; what will happen in the dry? (x2) Johnny’s gone for a soldier. Chorus I SHALL BE RELEASED (Bob Dylan) (Multi‐meanings – sung in Grant Park, Chicago, 1968) GREENWOOD (Peter Yarrow) (Apocalyptic) I've seen a thousand people kneel in silence They say ev’rything can be replaced And I've seen them face the rifles with their Yet ev’ry distance is not near I always thought that we could end the killing So I remember ev’ry face But now I live in fear that I was wrong Of ev’ry man who put me here

The killer and the cynic waltz together Chorus: Their eyes are turned into their skulls I see my light come shining They do not feel the bullets in the bodies From the west unto the east They do not hear the dolphins or the gulls Any day now, any day now I shall be released If we do these things in the greenwood, what will happen in the dry? They say ev’ry man needs protection They say ev’ry man must fall If we don't stop there'll come a time when women Yet I swear I see my reflection With barren wombs will bitterly rejoice Some place so high above this wall With breasts that dry and never fill with promise Chorus Gladly they'll not suckle one more life Standing next to me in this lonely crowd Is this then the whimper and the ending? Is a man who swears he’s not to blame The impotence of people raised on fear, All day long I hear him shout so loud A fear that blinds the sense of common oneness Crying out that he was framed Common love and life or death are here Chorus

If we do these things in the greenwood, 10

RIVER OF JORDAN (Peter, Paul, and Mary) I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan I'll tie back my hair; men's clothing I'll put on, To find where it flows to the sea. I'll pass as your comrade as we march along, I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know. And I saw I was looking at me. "Won't you let me go with you?" "No, my love no." I wanted to know if life had a purpose And what it all means in the end. Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind, In the silence I listened to voices inside me I love you far better than all of mankind, And they told me again and again.

Will it help if I stay very near, I am here We are one.

Chorus: Every blade of grass on the mountain And if you take my hand, my son, Every drop in the sea All will be well when the day is done Every cry of a newborn baby And if you take my hand, my son Every prayer to be free All will be well when the day is done Every hope at the end of a rainbow Day is done, when the day is done Every song ever sung Day is done, when the day is done Is a part of the family of woman and man Day is done, when the day is done And that means everyone. Day is done We are only one river. We are only one sea. 12

Since I was born SOME WALLS (Mary Ann Kennedy / Pamela Rose / I have seen my father die Randy Sharp) I have seen my brothers leave and my children cry. Some walls are made of stone Sometimes we build our own My mother has suffered so, Some walls stand for years that she is in her grave And some wash away with tears and she laughs at the bombs and she laughs at the worms. Some walls Some walls When I was a prisoner they stole my wife Some walls are lined with gold they stole my soul Where some hearts stay safe and cold and all my dear past. Some walls are made of doubt Holding in and keeping out Early tomorrow morning I will shut my door If there’s any hope for love at all on these dead years Some walls must fall I will take to the road. Some walls Some walls I will beg my way along on the roads of France Some walls are built on pride from Brittany to Provence Some keep the child inside and I will cry out to the people: Some walls are made in fear That love let go will disappear Refuse to obey refuse to do it If there’s any hope for love at all don't go to war Some walls must fall refuse to go. How will you ever know what might be found If blood must be given Until you let the walls come tumbling down go give your own you are a good apostle If there’s any hope for love at all Mr. President. Some walls, some walls must fall

If you go after me If there’s any hope for love at all warn your police Some wall, some walls, some walls that I'll be unarmed Must fall and that they can shoot. (Bob Dylan) Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop 14

And the breeze will cease to be a'breathin' And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin' Like the stillness in the wind And they'll pinch themselves and squeal Before the hurricane begins And they'll know that it's for real The hour when the ship comes in The hour when the ship comes in

And the sea will split And they'll raise their hands And the ship will hit Sayin' "We'll meet all your demands" And the shoreline sands will be a'shakin' And we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered" And the tide will sound And like the pharoah's triumph And the waves will pound They'll be drownded in the tide And the morning will be breakin' Like Goliath they'll be conquered

Oh the fishes will laugh HE HAD A LONG CHAIN ON (Jimmy Driftwood) As they swim out of the path One night as I lay on my pillow And the seagulls will be a'smilin' Moonlight as bright as the dawn And the rocks on the sand I saw a man come walkin' Will proudly stand He had a long chain on The hour that the ship comes in I heard his chains a‐clankin' They made a mournful sound And the words that are used Welded around his body For to get the ship confused Draggin' along on the ground Will not be understood as they're spoken For the chains of the sea Chorus: Will have busted in the night He had a long chain on And be buried at the bottom of the ocean He had a long chain on He had a long chain on A song will lift, As the mainsail shifts He came and stood by my window And the boat drifts out to the shoreline He looked at me and he said And the sun will respect I am so tired and hungry Every face on the deck Give me a bite of your bread The hour that the ship comes in He didn't look like a robber He didn't look like a thief And the sands will roll His voice was as soft as the moonlight Out a carpet of gold A face full of sorrow and grief For your weary toes to be a'touchin' Chorus And the ship's wise men Will remind you once again I went into my kitchen That the whole wide world is watchin' Fetched him a bowl full of meat A drink and a pan of cold biscuits Oh the foe will rise That's what I gave him to eat With the sleep still in their eyes Though he was tired and hungry 15

A bright light came over his face And you cast about and try to find new meaning He bowed his head in the moonlight So that you can feel that closeness once again. He said a beautiful grace Chorus Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend Don't give up on the dream, and don't you let it end. I got my hammer and chisel Carry on my sweet survivor, Offered to set him free Though you know that something's gone He shook his head and said softly For everything that matters carry on. I guess we had best let it be When he'd finished his supper You remember when you felt each person mattered He thanked me again and again When we all had to care or all was lost Though it's been years since I've seen him But now you see believers turn to cynics Still hear him draggin' that chain And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost Chorus Then you see someone too young to know the difference And a veil of isolation in their eyes SOMOS EL BARCO (Lorre Wyatt) And inside you know you've got to leave them something Chorus: Or the hope for something better slowly dies. Somos el barco, somos el mar, Yo navego en ti, tu navegas en mi Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend We are the boat, we are the sea, I sail in you, you sail in me Don't give up on the dream, and don't you let it end. Carry on my sweet survivor, you've carried it so long The stream sings it to the river, the river sings it to the sea So it may come again, carry on The sea sings it to the boat that carries you and me Carry on, carry on. Chorus THE TIMES THEY ARE A’CHANGIN’ (Bob Dylan) The boat we are sailing in was built by many hands Come gather 'round people And the sea we are sailing on, it touches every land Wherever you roam Chorus And admit that the waters Around you have grown So with our hopes we set the sails And accept it that soon And face the winds once more You'll be drenched to the bone And with our hearts we chart the waters never sailed If your time to you before Is worth savin' Chorus Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone SWEET SURVIVOR (Peter, Paul & Mary) For the times they are a‐changin'. You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly And why each one feels no different from the last Come writers and critics And you say that you are fearful for the future Who prophesize with your pen And you have grown suspicious of the past And keep your eyes wide And you wonder if the dreams we shared together The chance won't come again Have abandoned us or we abandoned them And don't speak too soon 16

For the wheel's still in spin ARISE (Bryan Cahall) And there's no tellin' who Arise ye time‐keepers and ye payers of debt, That it's namin' to those gone before us and who haven't come yet. Arise or the moment shall pass to redeem For the loser now the toil of the nameless, their forfeited dream. Will be later to win For the times they are a‐changin'. Arise all ye prayerful and unfold your hands, and place them flat firm on the soil of the land. Come senators, congressmen Turn your eyes upward and if you must weep, Please heed the call ration your tears for your savior's asleep. Don't stand in the doorway Arise luchadores of centuries past, Don't block up the hall from your dusty page books and mass graves at last. For he that gets hurt Drown out the broadcast of silence and fear, Will be he who has stalled sing through our voices who followed you here. There's a battle outside And it is ragin' Chorus: It'll soon shake your windows Dry your eyes, arise, arise. And rattle your walls Dry your eyes, arise, arise.

For the times they are a‐changin'. Arise all ye makers of profit and law, There is no second chance when your number gets called. Come mothers and fathers The ones who possess all the power you seek, Throughout the land here in a language you no longer speak. And don't criticize What you can't understand Arise all ye soldiers and turn your guns round, upon those who laugh as they order you down, Your sons and your daughters to stomp out the weak and to strangle the small, Are beyond your command Arise and defend the most vulnerable. Your old road is Rapidly agin' Arise all ye prisoners from your concrete hell, Please get out of the new one dissolve with one voice the walls of your cell. If you can't lend your hand And when the warden asks how can this be? For the times they are a‐changin'. Reply we are human and must act accordingly. Chorus

The line it is drawn Arise tall sequoia through suburban streets The curse it is cast Take with you the vinyl, the asphalt release, The slow one now The birds from their cages and the kids from their tombs Will later be fast Breathe out the plastic air from their rooms. As the present now Will later be past Arise ye young poets from irony's chains, from sarcasm prisons and transcendent claims. The order is Arise and recall with what clearness you wrote, Rapidly fadin' before you grew jaded before you grew cold. And the first one now Chorus (x2) Will later be last For the times they are a‐changin'. 17

No Dirty Coal

We don’t need no dirty coal We don’t need no dirty coal We got wind turbines on the hill And Solar Panels if you will We don’t need no dirty coal

We don’t need no dirty coal We don’t need no dirty coal A Hydro tide is rollin in This is a battle we can win We don’t need no dirty coal

They Pile the Coal up as high as a mountain All the while they’re taking the Mountain down Little by little before you know it The mountain is gone and There’s no way to restore it We don’t need no dirty coal
