Take It From Drking Lyrics - Tomorrow's Children - Pete Seeger

Down in Alabama, 1955, 

Not many of us here tonight were then alive; 

A young Baptist preacher led a bus boycott, 

He led the way for a brand new day without firing a shot. 

Don't say it can't be done 

The battle's just begun 

Take it from Dr. King 

You too can learn to sing 

So drop the gun.

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Oh those must have been an exciting 13 years. 

Young heroes, young heroines. 

There was laughter, there were tears, 

Students at lunch counters, 

Even dancing in the streets. 

To think it all started with sister Rosa 

Refusing to give up her seat. 

Song, songs, kept them going and going; 

They didn't realize the millions of seeds they were sowing. 

They were singing in marches, even singing in jail. 

Songs gave them the courage to believe they would not fail. 

We sang about Alabama 1955, 

But since 9-11 we wonder will this world survive. 

The world learned a lesson from Dr. King: 

We can survive, we can, we will. 

And so we sing —
