GARDEN SONGDavid Mallett- ©1975 Cherry Lane Music Publishing (ASCAP)Chorus:Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden growAll it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile groundInch by inch, row by row Someone bless these seeds I sowSomeone warm them from below Til the rain comes tumbling downPullin' weeds and pickin' stones, we are made of dreams and bonesI feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at handGrain for grain, sun and rain I'll find my way in nature's chainTune my body and my brain to the music of the landChorusPlant your rows straight and long, Temper them with prayer and songMother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and careAn old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder treeIn my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there Chorus


EL SALVADORNoel Paul Stookey and Jim Wallis-©1983 Neworld Media Music ASCAPThere's a sunny little country south of MexicoWhere the winds are gentle and the waters flowBut breezes aren't the only things that blow in El SalvadorIf you took the little lady for a moonlight driveOdds are still good you'd come back aliveBut everyone is innocent until they arrive in El SalvadorIf the rebels take a bus on the grand highwayThe government destroys a village miles awayThe man on the radio says 'now we'll play South of the Border'And in the morning the natives say,We're happy you have lived another dayLast night a thousand more passed away in El SalvadorThere's a television crew here from ABCFilming Rio Lempe and the refugeesCalling murdered children the 'tragedy' of El SalvadorBefore the government cameras 20 feet awayAnother man is asking for continued aidFood and medicine and hand grenades for El SalvadorThere's a thump, a rumble, and the buildings swayA soldier fires the acid sprayThe public address system starts to play South of the BorderYou run for cover and hide your eyesYou hear the screams from paradiseThey've fallen further than you realizein El SalvadorJust like Poland is 'protected' by her Russian friendsThe junta is 'assisted' by AmericansAnd if 60 million dollars seems too much to spendin El SalvadorThey say for half a billion they could do it rightBomb all day, burn all nightUntil there's not a living thing upright in El SalvadorThey'll continue training troops in the USAAnd watch the nuns that got awayAnd teach the military bands to play South of the BorderAnd kill the people to set them freeWho put this price on their liberty?Don't you think it's time to leave El Salvador?

LEMON TREEWill Holt- Boulder Music Corp.-BMIWhen I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.""Don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me,"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lieA girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon treethe music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.One day she left without a word. She took away the sun.And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweetbut the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.


LIGHT ONE CANDLEPeter Yarrow- ©1983 Silver Dawn Music ASCAPLight one candle for the Maccabee childrenWith thanks that their light didn't dieLight one candle for the pain they enduredWhen their right to exist was deniedLight one candle for the terrible sacrificeJustice and freedom demandBut light one candle for the wisdom to knowWhen the peacemaker's time is at handchorus:Don't let the light go out!It's lasted for so many years!Don't let the light go out!Let it shine through our love and our tears.Light one candle for the strength that we needTo never become our own foeAnd light one candle for those who are sufferingPain we learned so long agoLight one candle for all we believe inThat anger not tear us apartAnd light one candle to find us togetherWith peace as the song in our hearts(chorus)What is the memory that's valued so highlyThat we keep it alive in that flame?What's the commitment to those who have diedThat we cry out they've not died in vain?We have come this far always believingThat justice would somehow prevailThis is the burden, this is the promiseThis is why we will not fail!(chorus)Don't let the light go out!Don't let the light go out!Don't let the light go out!
