If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning

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

If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning

I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land

Well, I got a hammer, And I got a bell

And I got a song to sing, all over this land

It's the hammer of justice, It's the bell of freedom

It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land
