Sacco's Letter To His Son - Woody Guthrie
Written by：Nicola Sacco/Pete Seeger
If nothing happens they will electrocute us right after midnight
Therefore here I am right with you with love
And with open heart as I was yesterday
Don't cry Dante for many many tears have been wasted
As your mother's tears have been already wasted for seven years
And never did any good
So son instead of crying be strong be brave
So as to be able to comfort your mother
And when you want to distract her from the discouraging soulness
You take her for a long walk in the quiet countryside
Gathering flowers here and there
And resting under the shade of trees beside the music of the waters
The peacefulness of nature she will enjoy it very much
And you will surely too
But son you must remember don't use all yourself
But down yourself just one step
To help the weak ones at your side
The weaker ones that cry for help the persecuted and the victim
They are your friends friends of yours and mine
They are the comrades that fight yes and sometimes fall
Just as your father your father and Bartolo have fallen
Have fought and fell yesterday for the conquest of joy
Of freedom for all
In the struggle of life you'll find you'll find more love
And in the struggle you will be loved also
