00:00:01.125 --> 00:00:02.325
- I've only rarely
sung this song
00:00:02.375 --> 00:00:04.075
in the many years since
it was written
00:00:04.125 --> 00:00:06.866
because I never thought it
would be relevant again,
00:00:06.916 --> 00:00:09.366
but in the light
of one man's bloody
00:00:09.416 --> 00:00:11.200
and woefully misguided decision
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.658
to invade a peaceful, unthreatening
neighbor,
00:00:14.708 --> 00:00:18.041
the song is, once again, a plea
for our common humanity.
00:00:19.208 --> 00:00:20.658
For the brave
Ukrainians fighting
00:00:20.708 --> 00:00:22.575
against this brutal tyranny,
00:00:22.625 --> 00:00:26.158
and also the many Russians who
are protesting this outrage
00:00:26.208 --> 00:00:29.533
despite the threat of arrest
and imprisonment,
00:00:29.583 --> 00:00:32.408
we all of us love our children.
00:00:32.458 --> 00:00:34.200
Stop the war.
00:00:37.708 --> 00:00:41.658
In Europe and America
00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:45.991
There's a growing
feeling of hysteria
00:00:46.041 --> 00:00:49.450
Conditioned to respond
to all the threats
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:53.491
In the rhetorical speeches
of the Soviets
00:00:53.541 --> 00:00:57.575
Mister Khrushchev said,
We will bury you
00:00:57.625 --> 00:01:01.491
I don't subscribe to
this point of view
00:01:01.541 --> 00:01:04.991
It'd be such an
ignorant thing to do
00:01:05.041 --> 00:01:08.991
If the Russians love their
children, too
00:01:09.041 --> 00:01:13.200
How can I save my little boy
00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:17.325
From Oppenheimer's
deadly toy
00:01:17.375 --> 00:01:20.991
There is no monopoly
of common sense
00:01:21.041 --> 00:01:24.825
On either side of
the political fence
00:01:24.875 --> 00:01:28.616
We share the same biology
00:01:28.66...........
