about

Pete would have hated this so I couldn't have written it until he was gone... He really did come down metaphorically and literally off of the mountain into the streets to sing with and for us!

lyrics

I dreamed I saw Pete Seeger
he was standing on a hill
singing to the moon and clouds
the world was cool and still

there was not a soul around
to hear his freedom song
no one to carry on the tune
after Pete was gone

old Peter didn't shed a tear
did not complain or cry
he slowly walked down that high hill
and turned his face from the sky

he found some folks who'd listen
in the classrooms and the streets
he sang his song for anyone
and everyone he'd meet

soon his song was everywhere
in the air like oxygen
when Peter climbed up that high hill
it rang and called him down
when Peter climbed up that high hill
it rang and called him down
