This is how the song appears in Pete's book "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" copyright 1993 ONE MAN'S HANDS Original lyrics by Alex Comfort Music (1961) by Pete Seeger Lyrics adapted by Staughton Lynd Just my hands can't tear a prison down, Just your hands can't tear a prison down, But if two and two and fifty make a million, We'll see that day come round We'll see that day come round. Just my voice can't shout to make them hear, Just your voices can't shout to make them hear.... Just my strength can't ban the atom bomb, Just your strength can't ban the atom bomb.... Just my strength can't break the color bar, Just your strength can't break the color bar.... Just my strength can't roll the union on Just your strength can't roll the union on... Just my feet can't walk across the land, Just your feet can't walk across the land.... Just my eyes can't see the way ahead, Just your eyes can't see the way ahead.... ©1962, Fall River Music LFF
