Ode To Europe - Tommy Sands
(To the tune of “Ode To Joy” from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony)
C F
Europe - a united chorus, joyously in harmony
Am G
After years of war and sorrow, yearning one day to be free
C F
Free from hatred, free from hunger, free from inhumanity
Am G
Raise your voice and sing in chorus, joyously in harmony.
[Instrumental]
C F Am G
C F
White dove sailing on the ocean, in the night of dark despair
Am G
Bring your light and bring your learning once again for all to share.
C F
Share a dream, a new tomorrow, shape a ploughshare from the sword
Am G
Peace within and peace between us, peace be to the whole wide world.
[Instrumental]
C F Am G
C F
Sow the seed of justice so that we can walk in fields of peace
Am G
Sow the seeds of love so that our children's children can be free
C F
Free from hatred, free from hunger free from inhumanity
Am G
Raise your voice and sing in chorus joyously in harmony.
[Instrumental]
