ORIGINAL LYRICS

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land


I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land, uh

 

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land


I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land, oh

 

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land


I'd sing out danger

I'd sing out love between

All over this land, oh

 

Well, I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land


It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land


It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between

My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
