If This World Survives Lyrics

30. Pete's extroduction (spoken)
31. If This World Survives
Words by Malvina Reynolds (1972), Music by Pete Seeger (2007). © 2007 Schroder Music Co.
If this world survives
And every other day I think it might
In good part it will be
Because of the great souls in our community.

There are a lot of them
I've seen them walk
In lonely thousands down a city's streets
Or hand out leaflets in the rain
Or turn the handle of a print machine
Or empty their pockets as the plate comes by
Or gaze into the camera's eye.

And answer the question:
"Will the world survive?"
And they have said
"We'll try. We'll try. We'll try.")
