♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal).
Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!
Lyrics:
There is something wrong if we cheer along
When the people called "bad" are slain
On a cinema screen or a real-life scene
As if we were in some kind of game
A game where their death is a plus
And another point for us
But if we are to be humane
We must get ourselves out of this game
