Pete Seeger — If This World Survives

If this world survives And every other day I think it might In good part it will be Because of the great souls in our community There are a lot of them I've seen them walk In lonely thousands down the city streets Or stand in vigils in the rain Or turn the handle of a print machine Or empty their purses as the plate comes by Or gaze into the camera's eye And answer the question: "Will the world survive?" And they have said "We'll try. We'll try."
