Award-winning recording artists, singers, songwriters, musical historians, playwrights, actors and social activists, Terry and Greg are proud to be, as Pete Seeger said of them, “…more links in the chain”, dedicating their lives and music to leaving this world a better place.
Back in nineteen eighteen on a sunny day in June, A thousand of us gathered that hopeful afternoon
In Nimisilla Park between the railroad and the creek To see Eugene Victor Debs, and to hear him speak.
He came down to Canton to talk and take a stand
For peace and justice for the working class throughout the land Now forever I’ll remember, wherever I may roam,
The prescient words that Gene Debs spoke in my Ohio home.
Debs had run for president; it was him I’d voted for
Then I heard that he was comin’ here with a cry against the war When so many in our country were still itchin’ for that fight
He was a solitary beacon in a stormy night
He’d come to see our comrades in the workhouse locked away They would not feed the war machine, their consciences betray From the junkers to the robber barons, money’s what it’s for Poor workers were daily dyin’ in a rich man’s war
He said, “There are better days ahead if to ourselves we’re true And we’ll all rise in common cause, rebuild this world anew
If we just work together, stand for what is right
Make this great cause triumphant, all the working class unite!”
He stood there bone and sinew, with a fire in his eyes And a voice full of passion, from a heart so true and wise With courage unrelenting his words defied their power Even though no doubt he knew the danger of the hour
He said, “A thousand times I’d rather be a free soul in jail Than a coward in the streets, a sycophant for sale.”
So I stood enthralled there that fateful summer day
That man changed my life with every word he had to say
They hauled him off to jail, sedition, so they said
A dangerous man like Debs just has to be stopped dead He said, “I ask no mercy, plead for no immunity
For now I see the rising of those who would be free.
I clearly see the struggle now between our human need
And the wicked powers of exploitation and of greed.
But the cross of stars is bending as we pass through the night And the people waken joyful in the hope of morning light.”
