Oh, I Had A Golden Thread

Oh, I Had A Golden Thread - Pete Seeger

Oh had I a golden thread

And needle so fine

I've weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design

In it I'd weave the bravery

Of women giving birth

In it I would weave the innocence

Of children over all the earth

Children of all earth

And I would weave the restlessness of men going ever forth

Through scorching desert sands and blizzards of the north

Through the frozen north

Far over the waters

I'd reach my magic band

Through foreign cities

To every single land

To every land

Show my brothers and sisters

My rainbow design

Bind up this sorry world

With hand and heart and mind

Hand and heart and mind

Far over the waters

I'd reach my magic band

To every human being

So they would understand

So they'd understand

Oh had I a golden thread

And needle so fine

I've weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design
