This Pete Seeger is my theme song as a creative. Among other covers of the song, I especially love this gentle one by Peter, Paul, & Mary.
What song might you consider your theme song?
OH, HAD I A GOLDEN THREAD
Oh, had I a golden thread
And needle so fine
I'd weave a tapestry
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design
Far over the water
I'd weave my magic strand
To every city
Through every single land
Through every land
And in it I would weave the bravery
Of women giving birth
In it I would weave the innocence
Of children over all the earth
Children of all earth
Show my brothers and my sisters
My rainbow design
And bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Hand and heart and mind
(My thanks to Pete Seeger and to Peter, Paul & Mary.)
