Quite Early Morning Lyrics - Tomorrow's Children - Pete Seeger

Guitars were brought to Europe 

About 800 years ago by Gypsies 

The word tar means string in Persian 

And India has the Sitar and Europe has the Guitar 

But the banjo came to this country 

About 200 years, 300 years ago 

With the slaves, it's an African instrument 

Its really more of rhythm instrument than any other thing 

Don't you know it's darkest before the dawn? 

And it's this thought keeps me moving on 

If we could heed these early warnings 

The time is now quite early morning 

If we could heed these early warnings 

The time is now quite early morning

Some say that humankind won't long endure 

But what makes them feel so doggone sure? 

I know that you who hear my singing 

Could make those freedom bells go ringing 

I know that you who hear my singing 

Could make those freedom bells go ringing 

And so we keep on while we live 

Until we have no, no more to give 

And when these fingers can strum no longer 

Hand the old banjo to young one stronger 

And when these fingers can strum no longer 

Hand the old banjo to young one stronger 

So though it's darkest before the dawn 

This thought keeps me moving on 

Through all this world of joy and sorrow 

We still can have singing tomorrows 

Through all this world of joy and sorrow 

We still can have singing tomorrows

Oh, sing it with me 

Through all this world of joy and sorrow 

We still can have singing tomorrows 

And that's for Haiti
