Pete Seeger - God's Counting on Me, God's Counting on You - Beacon Sloop Club - Banjo

Pete Seeger sings and plays banjo on his new protest song "God's Counting On Me, God's Counting on You." He wrote this song about the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The song was written by Lorre Wyatt and Pete Seeger. This was filmed, recorded and edited at the Beacon Sloop Club by Mark McCarroll.

Lyrics:

When we look and we can see things are not what they should be
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
When we look and see things that should not be
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

And when drill, baby, drill turns to spill, baby, spill
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Yes when drill, baby, drill turns to spill, baby, spill
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

Don't give up don't give in, workin' together we all can win
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Don't give up don't give in, workin' together we all can win
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

There's big problems to be solved, let's get everyone involved
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
There's big problems to be solved, let's get everyone involved
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

When we sing with younger folks, we can never give up hope
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
When we sing with younger folks, we can never give up hope
God's counting on me, God's counting on you
Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

here comes science = this

@supsupese This IS a religious song. It reminds folks that God gave us the earth and each other to so that we can take care of each other. (Which is a fine attitude, even for us atheists.)

This is a religious song.

He's a legend, an American original, and a person the world can embrace. Thanks Pete for the light you have created.  Thanks for the tunes!
