Letra
My name is Daniel Berrigan
Chaplain at a hospice for the die
I had seen the face of death, it is for life
I bring this hammer down
My name is Molly Rush, I have six children
They deserve a future
I strike this blow today for the children all the world around
I hear the prophet's cry of hope, ring through the prison wall
We've waited 30 centuries to see that hammer fall
If we think we've got 30 more, we cannot see at all
For swords into plowshares
The hammer has to fall
My name is Elmer Moss
Were this a peaceful world, I'd sit and play piano
But lacking Nero's conscience
I could not watch that fire devour the land
My name is John Shushard
I am no stranger to the prison that awaits us
But where genocide is legal
I stand in outlaw with the hammer in my hand
I hear the prophet's cry of hope, ring through the prison wall
We've waited 30 centuries to see that hammer fall
If we think we've got 30 more, we cannot see at all
For swords into plowshares
The hammer has to fall
Dean Hammer is my name
Micah and Isaiah, my tradition
Oh, I tried to be their scholar
But could not escape their logic in the end
My name is Philip Barigan
In World War II, I flew the bombing missions
Now with every blow I strike today
I say the bombs will never fall again
I hear the prophet's cry of hope ring through the prison wall
We've waited 30 centuries to see that hammer fall
If we think we've got 30 more, we cannot see at all
For swords into plowshares
The hammer has to fall
Carl Cabot is my name
I have lived and worked among the third world peoples
I've seen corporations flourish
While the poor were left to fight for every breath
My name is Anne Montgomery
My life spent in community with women
I bring their healing power to this factory of carnage and of death
I hear the prophet's cry of hope ring through the prison wall
We've waited 30 centuries to see that hammer fall
If we think we've got 30 more, we cannot see at all
For swords into plowshares
The hammer has to fall
The hammer has to fall
