Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more?
And because I love you I'll
Give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die

Some folks want to be like an ostrich
Bury their heads in the sand
Some hope that plastic dreams
Can unclench all those greedy hands

Some hope to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs, they think we need 'em
Don't you know you can't
Kill all the unbelievers?
There's no shortcut to freedom
Onе blue sky above us
One ocеan lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more?
And because I love you I'll
Give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die

Go tell, go tell all the little children
Tell all the mothers and fathers too
Now's our last chance to learn to share
What's been given to me and you

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more?
And because I love you I'll
Give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more?
