The cleanup of the Hudson River had been championed by Pete Seeger for decades. Its momentum centered around having a sloop, Clearwater, sail up and down that river, with people singing and making music. What a legacy.

lyrics

Head thrown back, voice rings out
Freest man I’ve ever seen
Blue eyes beaming, the light of the stars
Bathed in the light of your song

Take us along, sailing upon the new Hudson River
With your banjo and song
Rising up strong, voices in song, old heavens shiver
The poison be gone
The Clearwater, keeps sailing on

The trials you’ve known, turned some to stone
But you could not compromise
The truth you hold, could never be sold
It’s keeping the shine in your eyes

Take us along, sailing upon the new Hudson River
With your banjo and song
Rising up strong, voices in song, old heavens shiver
The poison be gone
The Clearwater, keeps sailing on

The light of the truth, the joy it brings
Knows no borders or walls
The hammer, the bell, the song you sing
Reaches the hearts of us all
