(Through Rose-Coloured Glasses)<\/p>\n

If I Had a hammer
\n<\/strong>(Words and music by L. Hays and P. Seeger)<\/p>\n

If I had a hammer
\nI’d hammer in the morning
\nI’d hammer in the evening … all over this land,
\nI’d hammer out danger
\nI’d hammer out a warning
\nI’d hammer out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
\nAll over this land.<\/p>\n

If I had a bell
\nI’d ring it in the morning
\nI’d ring it in the evening … all over this land,
\nI’d ring out danger
\nI’d ring out a warning
\nI’d ring out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
\nAll over this land.<\/p>\n

If I had a song
\nI’d sing it in the morning
\nI’d sing it in the evening … all over this world,
\nI’d sing out danger
\nI’d sing out a warning
\nI’d sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
\nAll over this land.<\/p>\n

If I’ve got a hammer
\nAnd I’ve got a bell
\nAnd I’ve got a song to sing … all over this land,
\nIt’s a hammer of justice
\nIt’s a bell of freedom
\nIt’s a song about love between all of my brothers and my sisters
\nAll over this land.<\/p>\n

Light One Candle\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>(by Peter Yarrow)

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. \u2013 Chinese proverb<\/em><\/p>\n

Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
\nJustice and freedom demand
\nBut light one candle for the wisdom to know
\nWhen the peacemaker’s time is at hand<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nIt’s lasted for so many years
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nLet it shine through our love and our tears<\/p>\n

Light one candle for the strength that we need
\nTo never become our own foe
\nAnd light one candle for those who are suffering
\nPain we learned so long ago<\/p>\n

Light one candle for all we believe in
\nThat anger not tear us apart
\nAnd light one candle to find us together
\nWith peace as the song in our hearts<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nIt’s lasted for so many years
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nLet it shine through our love and our tears<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nIt’s lasted for so many years
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nLet it shine through our love and our tears<\/p>\n

What is the memory that’s valued so highly
\nThat we keep it alive in that flame?
\nWhat’s the commitment to those who died
\nThat we cry out they’ve not died in vain?<\/p>\n

We have come this far always believing
\nThat justice would somehow prevail
\nThis is the burden, this is the promise
\nThis is why we will not fail<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nIt’s lasted for so many years
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nLet it shine through our love and our tears<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nIt’s lasted for so many years
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nLet it shine through our love and our tears<\/p>\n

Don’t let the light go out
\nDon’t let the light go out
\nDon’t let the light go out<\/p>\n
