Happy Birthday to Pete Seeger
a champion for the beleaguered
The Clearwater Sloop lives on in Pete's name
the Hudson River's health dedicated to reclaim
Fighting and speaking for our civil rights
lighthouse on the river Pete Seeger shed the light
Adding to his resume he was a great musician
the legacy he's left for us lives on as great tradition
"We shall overcome" we sing for him today
to honor Pete Seeger in this most important way
"If I had a hammer" he proudly sang for us
he rang a bell for freedom from the dawn until the dusk
Pete sang tunes to heighten America's freedom
not for just the privileged few he fought for everyone
He represented the qualities that make America strong
until we meet Pete again we'll honor him in song
