Peter, Paul and Mary

on Thursday, September 17, 2009


The three of them stood on a stage
Two guitars
Sometimes a bass player
And harmonies that would weave in and out of magic
An alchemy of voices
Singing strong
Singing what was true
Singing for civil rights before it was comfortable
Taking Dylan to the mainstream
Where he could detonate in people's minds
Talking, marching, singing, playing
With a mix of passion and professionalism rarely matched

Mary's gone
But the music still sounds across the years
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening all over this land

Justice, freedom, love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
All over every land
