Introduction to Grannies

The Raging Grannies Songbook, 1993

Raging Grannies visiting at your place.
Where there’s action we always show our face.
When we see a disturbing headline,
A light bulb pops in our mind.
By day or night we sit and write
A song that we can share.

In Iraq and also El Salvador

Where the children have suffered because of war,

The cause the kids do not see

They only know they’re hungry.

It would be great if strife and hate

Would end soon for all of them.

We love singing of peace and environment.
We hope you know exactly what we have meant.
We try to sing out loudly
And say the words out proudly.
Thought we have stiff backs
And our voices crack,
We hope you will bear with us.

For the children

Of each and every land

We are caring

We’re stretching out our hands.

The children of the world can

Be peaceful and secure and

If war’s to end, we must unbend—

It can start with you and me.
