"If I were organizing a mass march, I would keep playing 'bound for freedom', and more and more people would be inspired to join... come to think of it - let's start!" ~WICB, Ithaca, NY

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 warning
I'd hammer out the 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 warning
I'd ring out the 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 land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out warning
I'd sing out the love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Now I got a hammer and I got a bell
And I 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 of the love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
