General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: What is Your Favorite Protest Song? Old and New? [View all]I think that was the first folk song I fell in love with.
Also Joan Baez's version of:
"Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream"
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands end bowed their heeds
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
But I think my all time favorite will always be "We Shall Overcome", it is timeless.
