“Where Have All the Flowers Gone” by Pete Seeger sung by Joan Baez (click here to listen)
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

COMMENTS ON PREVIOUS SELECTION – “Love is Everywhere”
On Jesus’ lips this song is an invitation to the Kingdom, where love is everywhere and you can be all that you can be. When he sings. “come and play the game with me.” it is an encouragement to jump, ‘boots and all’, into the ‘circle of love and light.’ It is the only place to be.
