If I had a hammer

I would hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening

all over this land!



I'd hammer out the danger

hammer out a warning

I'd hammer 'bout the love between

my brothers and my sisters

all, all over this land . . .

all over this land



If I had a bell

I would ring it in the morning

I'd ring it in the evening

all over this land!



I'd ring out the danger

ring out a warning

I'd ring 'bout the love between

my brothers and my sisters

all, all over this land . . .

all over this land







If I had a song

I would sing it in the morning

I'd sing it in the evening

all over this land!



I'd sing out the danger

sing out a warning

I'd sing about my brothers and my sisters

all, all over this land . . .

all over this land



Well, I got a hammer, and I got my 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 a song to sing

about my brothers and my sisters

all, all over this land!



. . . all over this land, all over this land,

. . . all over this land!
