WE'RE LIVING
IN A WORLD
THAT'S COMING
APART-
COMING APART
AT THE SEAMS.
HEAR THE ANGRY
SHOUTING,
HEAR THE ANGUISHED
SCREAMS.
TIME TO OVERTHROW
THE OLD REGIMES.
YOU WHO EXIST
ABOVE THE FRAY,
YOU WHO DON'T
SEE THE LOWER CLASSES
UNLESS YOU
LOOK DOWN-
CHANGE IS ON
THE WAY.
SOON YOU'LL
BE SWEPT AWAY BY THE MASSES-
SOME WHOSE
FLAGS ARE RED,
SOME WHOSE
SHIRTS ARE BROWN.
WORKERS!
TIME TO MAKE
YOUR CHOICE!
NONE WILL BE
LEFT ON THE SIDELINES WHEN IN
BATTLE WE HAVE
GONE.
COMRADES!
TIME TO RAISE
YOUR VOICE
AND STAND WITH
THE PARTY OF MARX AND LENIN
IN THE BRIGHT
RED DAWN!
WE CAN CHANGE
THE WORLD
IF WE HEED
THE CALL,
IF WE STAND
TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD
OF ALL.
IF WE WORK
TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD
OF OTHERS,
WE CAN MAKE
A WORLD WHERE
ALL MEN ARE
BROTHERS.
IF WE MARCH
TOGETHER
WITH OUR FLAG
UNFURLED
IN LIBERTY,
EQUALITY,
SOLIDARITY
FOR ALL HUMANITY,
IF WE STAND
TOGETHER
WE CAN CHANGE
THE WORLD.
(HANNAH appears upstage.)
HANNAH
WECAN PUT AN END TO WAR.
WE CAN DO IT IF WE TRY
AND IF WE'RE WILLING TO DIE
THEN WE'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE LIVING FOR.
(ALL emerge from the wings and variously begin singing with HANNAH.)
IT CAN START
WITH ONE SMALL VOICE
THAT BECOMES
A CHOIR.
A CANDLE IN
THE DARK,
JUST ONE SMALL
SPARK,
CAN SET THE
WORLD ON FIRE.
ALL
IF WE HEED THE CALL,
IF WE STAND TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.
IF WE WORK TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS
WE CAN MAKE A WORLD WHERE
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS.
IF WE MARCH TOGETHER
WITH OUR FLAGS UNFURLED
IN LIBERTY, EQUALITY,
SOLIDARITY FOR ALL HUMANITY,
IF WE STAND TOGETHER
WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
