Oh, Had I a Golden Thread - Pete Seeger / Judy Collins video free download

by Pete Seeger

OH, HAD I A GOLDEN THREAD

Oh, had I a golden Thread

And needle so fine

I've weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design.

In it I'd weave the bravery

Of women giving birth,

In it I would weave the innocence

Of children over all the earth,

Children of all earth.

Far over the waters

I'd reach my magic band

Through foreign cities,

To every single land,

To every land.

Show my brothers and sisters

My rainbow design,

Bind up this sorry world

With hand and heart and mind,

Hand and heart and mind.

Far over the waters

I'd reach my magic band

To every human being

So they would understand,

So they'd understand.
