Pete Seeger - Letter to Eve (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics 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, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Don't you wish love, love alone, could save this world from disaster?
Don't you wish love, love alone, could save this world from disaster?
If only love could end the confusion
Or is it just one more illusion?
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Well if ... you want to have great love, you got to have great anger
Well if ... you want to have great love, you got to have great anger
When I see innocent folk shot down
Should I just shake my head and frown?
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Well if ...
you want to hit the target square, you better have blind anger
Well if ...
you want to hit the target square, you better have blind anger
Or else it'll be just one more time
The correction creates another crime
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
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, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Oh, Eve, go tell Adam, we got build a new garden
Oh, Eve, go tell Adam, we got build a new garden
We got to get workin' on the building
Of a decent for all o' God's children
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
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 more than dull the pain
If melodies could break these chains
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Four thousand languages in this world
Means the same thing to evrry boy and girl
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa
