SING IT to the tune of Clementine
Look around you, see the people
Who are working everyday
For the kind of world we all want,
Where healthy children laugh and play
A world with no more nuclear arms,
Guns are banned and want is rare,
Where all races live together,
Everyone has good health care.
Equal rights and equal wages,
Social justice on the earth,
No pollution on the planet,
A new world will come to birth.
Look around you see the people
Who are working everyday
For a world of peace and plenty
Where the grandkids laugh and play.
