Ive seen a thousand people kneel in silence
And Ive seen them face the rifles with their songs
I always thought that we could end the killing
But now I live in fear that I was wrong
The killer and the cynic waltz together
Their eyes are turned into their skulls
They do not feel the bullets in the bodies
They do not hear the dolphins or the gulls
If we do these things in the greenwood,
What will happen in the dry?
If we dont stop therell come a time when women
With barren wombs will bitterly rejoice
With breasts that dry and never fill with promise
Gladly theyll not suckle one more life
Is this then the whimper and the ending?
The impotence of people raised on fear,
A fear that blinds the sense of common oneness
Common love and life or death are here
If we do these things in the greenwood,
What will happen in the dry?
Will no one light the candle in the darkness
Will no one be my guide, not let me fall
Ive lost the sense that tells me where the path is
I feel the chill of winter in my soul
Theres no way I can say the words more plainly
Theres no one left to point at anymore
Its you and me and we must make the choice now
And not destroy the life were living for
If we do these things in the greenwood,
What will happen in the dry?
If we do these things in the greenwood,
What will happen in the dry?
Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world.
