If I Had a Hammer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening all over this land
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
If I had a bell I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening all over this land
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening all over this world
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
If I've got a hammer and I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
All over this land
All over this land
