Pete Seeger
If I had a hammer
Where Have all the flowers gone?
We Shall Overcome
Pete Seeger
A fine soul passed today
returning to the earth
he loved and graced
He hammered out freedom
He hammered out justice
no guns just roses
this gentle gentleman
embraced
We are the better
for his life
his melody lives on
champion of simple folk
of music and of song
we know where one flower has gone
as still his truth rings out loud
rings out long
(Pete Seeger: 1919 – 2014. RIP)
Buffy Sainte-Marie – January 2014 of Pete Seeger
“Justice and humanitarian issues, kindness, effectiveness and humility, all wrapped around a banjo. He was a real angel on earth”.
