[ to the tune "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" by Pete Seeger ] Where have all our heroes gone, long time passing? Where have all our heroes gone, long time ago? Where have all our heroes gone, since '68 there's scarce been one To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn? This land was made for you, long time passing This land was made for me, long time ago This land's for you and me, we must strive to keep it free To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn? Weave me the sunshine, long time passing From the flood of Noah's time, long time ago Freedom from oppression's reign, may our cup be full once again To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn? If I had a hammer from, long time passing And if I had a bell from, long time ago I'd sing a song of love and freedom, from Jerusalem and the gates of Eden To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn? There has been a time of war, long time passing There has been a time of love, long time ago Far too long there has been hate, we must have peace before it's too late To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn? To the true light turn, turn, turn Oh, when will we ever learn?
