PHIL OCHS
"Where There's A Will There's A Way"

Religon!
In the town of bethlehem many years ago
A man got religion and he changed the staus quo
He went around the countryside preaching brotherhood
And anyone who heard him, they knew and understood

[Chorus:]
Where there's a will there's a way
That's what I always say
We gotta make a try,
Come on, it's do or die.

Civil rights!
John brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave
But in this land of freedom you will never find a slave
He fought for a cause, the 'cause of liberty
And if he heard this slogan, I am sure he would agree.

[Chorus]

Patriotism!
Well there once were thirteen colonies that wanted to be free
They held a couple of meetings, they knew what had had to be
They picked a man named washington to lead them into battle
He said: if we win, some day we'll have a world's fair at seattle.

[Chorus]

And a message!
Well in this troubled world of ours we face another threat,
These nuclear explosions, they're gonna kill us yet,
A-bomb, h-bomb, neutron-bomb, we must destroy them all,
We have got to rise together, or together we will fall.

[Chorus]
