OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
That we, the people here, don't want a war

Allemande and weave
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Swing your girl and promenade the floor
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
That we, the people here, don't want a war


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head two couples square thru go four hands
With that corner girl you make a right hand star
Heads star by the left one time around that set
To the same pair you do a dosado
Slide thru, square thru 3/4
Swing that corner girl and promenade
*I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same


*And tell me if the man who is plowing up your land
Has got the war machine...


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Seven hundred million, are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?

Allemande and weave
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Swing your girl and promenade the floor
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
That we, the people here, don't want a war


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let's all build them shelves where they can fight among themselves
And leave the people be who love to sing

Allemande and weave
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
That we, the people here, don't want a war

Swing your girl
We, the people here, don't want a war
