Pete's Shoulders (The Power Of Song)

Pete's Shoulders (The Power Of Song)

(album: All New - 2022)

We've been standing on your shoulders Pete for oh, so many years
I'll tell you it's amazing Pete, the view you get from here
You can see humanity in countries near and far
You can see the world, Pete, no matter where you are

One voice with a banjo on the corner of a street
Sings a song of hope and change with a melody so sweet
When we hear a thousand voices start to sing along
Then we get a chance to feel the power of a song

We've been standing on your shoulders Pete for oh, so many years
I'll tell you it's amazing Pete, the view you get from here
You can see humanity in countries near and far
You can see the world, Pete, no matter where you are

Someone says the Hudson's not as clean as it could be
All along the river people say that they agree
The struggle is a long one and it's filled with storms and gales
But the victory is the greater as Clearwater hoists it's sails

We've been standing on your shoulders Pete for oh, so many years
I'll tell you it's amazing Pete, the view you get from here
You can see humanity in countries near and far
You can see the world, Pete, no matter where you are

Like Aunt Molly Jackson, like Woody and Joe Hill
Your songs have fueled our truth to power, and they always will
There's a banjo ringing somewhere and a yodel in the air
And they tell us we've got work to do with the power we all share

We've been standing on your shoulders Pete for oh, so many years
I'll tell you it's amazing Pete, the view you get from here
You can see humanity in countries near and far
You can see the world, Pete, no matter where you are
You can see the world, Pete, no matter where you are
