If I Had A Hammer
Nimoy and Shatner Lyrics

If I had a hammer
If I had the means to make change

I'd hammer in the morning
I'd start early and often

I'd hammer in the evening
I'd work hard all day

All over this land
In every corner of the world

I'd hammer out danger
I'd fight to eliminate threats

I'd hammer out a warning
I'd alert others to potential hazards

I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
I'd spread compassion and fraternity

If I had a bell
If I had a way to make myself heard

I'd ring it in the morning
I'd use it to start conversations

I'd ring it in the evening
I'd keep using it all day long

I'd ring out danger
I'd use it to warn others

I'd ring out a warning
I'd use it to raise awareness

I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
I'd use it to promote brotherhood and sisterhood

If I had a song
If I had the power to inspire

I'd sing it in the morning
I'd start the day with hope

I'd sing it in the evening
I'd use it to comfort others

I'd sing out danger
I'd use it to caution against threats

I'd sing out a warning
I'd use it to educate and inform

I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
I'd use it to foster brotherly and sisterly love

Well I've got a hammer
I have the power to promote change

And I've got a bell
And I have the means to make myself heard

And I've got a song to sing
And I have the power to inspire

All over this land
To help people all around the world

It's the hammer of justice
This power to help is the agent of justice

It's the bell of freedom
This ability to speak is the symbol of freedom

It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
This message of love is the underlying theme

All over this land
And it transcends all borders
