Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Paul Simon - Sound of silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know"

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you."

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls."

And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

Bob Marley

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in trenchtown,

Oba - obaserving the ypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet.

Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lost

Along the way.

In this great future, you cant forget your past;

So dry your tears, I seh.

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry.

ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:

No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit

In the government yard in trenchtown.

And then georgie would make the fire lights,

As it was logwood burnin through the nights.

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,

Of which Ill share with you;

My feet is my only carriage,

So Ive got to push on through.

But while Im gone, I mean:

Everythings gonna be all right!

Everythings gonna be all right!

Everythings gonna be all right!

Everythings gonna be all right!

I said, everythings gonna be all right-a!

Everythings gonna be all right!

Everythings gonna be all right, now!

Everythings gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;

No - no, woman - woman, no cry.

Woman, little sister, dont shed no tears;

No, woman, no cry.

I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in trenchtown.

And then georgie would make the fire lights,

As it was logwood burnin through the nights.

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,

Of which Ill share with you;

My feet is my only carriage,

So Ive got to push on through.

But while Im gone:

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry.

Woman, little darlin, say dont shed no tears;

No, woman, no cry.

Eh! (little darlin, dont shed no tears!

No, woman, no cry.

Little sister, dont shed no tears!

No, woman, no cry.)

Joan Baez - Let it Be

Joan Baez - Let it Be


When I Find Myself in Times of Trouble
Mother Mary Comes to Me
Speaking Words of Wisdom, Let It Be.
And in My Hour of Darkness She Is Standing Right in Front of Me
Speaking Words of Wisdom, Let It Be.
Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be,
Whisper Words of Wisdom, Let It Be.

And When the Broken Hearted People
Living in the World Agree
There Will Be An Answer, Let It Be.
For Though They May Be Parted There Is Still a Chance That They Will See
There Will Be An Answer, Let It Be.
Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be,
There Will Be An Answer, Let It Be.

And When the Night Is Cloudy
There Is Still a Light That Shines On Me
Shine Until Tomorrow, Let It Be.
I Wake Up to the Sound of Music
Mother Mary Comes to Me
Speaking Words of Wisdom, Let It Be.
Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be,
There Will Be An Answer, Let It Be.

Joan Baez - With God On Our Side - Live 1982

But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side.
(Bob Dylan)




Oh my name it is nothin'

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

I's taught and brought up there

The laws to abide

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side.



Oh the history books tell it

They tell it so well

The cavalries charged

The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

The Indians died

Oh the country was young

With God on its side.



Oh the Spanish-American

War had its day

And the Civil War too

Was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes

I's made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their side.



Oh the First World War, boys

It closed out its fate

The reason for fighting

I never got straight

But I learned to accept it

Accept it with pride

For you don't count the dead

When God's on your side.



When the Second World War

Came to an end

We forgave the Germans

And we were friends

Though they murdered six million

In the ovens they fried

The Germans now too

Have God on their side.



I've learned to hate Russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

It's them we must fight

To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely

With God on my side.



But now we got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them we're forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When God's on your side.



In a many dark hour

I've been thinkin' about this

That Jesus Christ

Was betrayed by a kiss

But I can't think for you

You'll have to decide

Whether Judas Iscariot

Had God on his side.



So now as I'm leavin'

I'm weary as Hell

The confusion I'm feelin'

Ain't no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If God's on our side

He'll stop the next war.
