Funny, I wrote a version of this in 1974 when I sang at a Good Friday demonstration in Schenectady NY, protesting the bombing of Cambodia. I also did attend the 1983 peace demonstration at Seneca Falls and I think I was there another year for another protest.
ReplyDeleteWere you there when the bombs fell from the sky
Were you there when they napalmed girls and boys
Were you there when the sun refused to shine,
etc...
So glad I found this site - my husband is going to be at Seneca Lake for a demonstration in a few weeks so I wanted to jog our memories of the peace encampment...
