Songtexte Letter to Eve (Live) - Pete Seeger

Oh Eve, where is Adam
Now you're kicked out of the garden
Oh Eve, where is Adam
Now you're kicked out of the garden
Been wandering from shore to shore
Now you find there's no more

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Oh Eve, don't you wish love, love alone
Could save this world from disaster
Oh, oh, oh
Love, love alone
Could save this world from disaster
Don't you wish love could end the confusion
Or is it just one more illusion

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

If you wanna have great love
You gotta have great anger
If you wanna have great love
You gotta have great anger
When I see innocent folk shot down
Should I just shake my head and frown

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

If you wanna hit the target square
Better not have blind anger
If you wanna hit the target square
Better not have blind anger
Or else it'll just be one more time
The correction creates another crime

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

If music could only bring peace
I'd only be a musician
If music could only bring peace
I'd only be a musician
If songs could do more than dull the pain
If melodies could only break these chains

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Oh Eve, you tell Adam
Next time he asks you
Oh Eve, you tell Adam
Next time he asks you
He'll say, "Baby, it's cold outside
What's the password to come inside"
You say

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Oh Eve, go tell Adam
We got to build a new garden
Oh Eve, go tell Adam
We gotta build a new garden
We gotta get working on the building
Of a decent home for all of God's children

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Sing it over

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa
Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Four thousand languages in this world
Means the same thing to every boy and girl

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa

Oh, when it's stormy weather
Good people got to gather together
Oh, when it's stormy weather
Good people got to gather together
We know there's no place to hide
Still in friends one can confide

Oh, oh, oh
Pacem in terris
Mir, Shanti, Salam, Heiwa
