(Pete Seeger)
You know it's darkest before the dawn
And this thought keeps me moving on
If we could heed these early warnings
The time is now quite early morning
If we could heed these early warnings
The time is now quite early morning
Some say that mankind won't long endure
But what makes them feel so doggone sure
I know that you who hear my singing
Could make those freedom bells go ringing
I know that you who hear my singing
Could make those freedom bells go ringing
And so we keep on while we live
Till we have no, no more to give
And when these fingers can strum no longer
Hand the old guitar to a young one stronger
And when these fingers can strum no longer
Hand the old guitar to a young one stronger
So though it's darkest before the dawn
This thought keeps us moving on
Through all this world of joy and sorrow
We still can have singing tomorrows
Through all this world of joy and sorrow
We still can have singing tomorrows
Yes, though it's darkest before the dawn
This thought keeps us moving on
If we could heed these early warnings
The time is now quite early morning
If we could heed these early warnings
The time is now quite early morning
