Songs for the People





Songs for the People 

Music: Gilad  Hesseg
Lyrics: Frances E. W. Harper

(Adapted Version)
Let me make the songs for the people,
Songs for the old and young;
Songs to stir like a battle-cry
Wherever they are sung.

Not for the clashing of sabres,
For carnage nor for strife;
But songs to thrill the hearts of men
With more abundant life.

Let me make the songs for the weary,
Amid life's fever and fret,
Till hearts shall relax their tension,
And careworn brows forget.

Let me sing for little children,
Before their footsteps stray,
Sweet anthems of love and duty,
To float o'er life's highway.

I would sing for the poor and aged,
When shadows dim their sight;
Of the bright and restful mansions,
Where there shall be no night.

Let me make the songs for the people,
Our world,Needs music, pure and strong,
Let me make the songsfor the people,
To hush the jangle and discords Of sorrow, pain, and wrong.

Music to  soothe all its sorrow,
Till war and crime shall cease;
And the hearts of  men grown tender
Girdle the world with peace.
Music to  soothe all its sorrow,
Till war and crime shall cease;
Imagine all the people live in the world in peace
