To the sea for salt to the sea for salt
to the sea where salt is made
gandhi walked to the sea for salt
and he was unafraid
to the sea for salt to the sea for salt
because the law forbade
gandhi walked to the sea for salt
to the sea where salt is made
they shouted stop they shouted halt
but gandhi disobeyed
a big crowd walked to the sea for salt
to the sea where salt is made
they wanted some they wanted some
and though the law forbade
they all walked to the sea for salt
in a great big long parade
for just a taste o just a taste
old gandhi bowed and prayed
and took some salt from the shore of the sea
from the sea where salt is made
now wars are lost and wars are won
with bomb and blade and gun
but gandhi won with the fingertip
that he touched to the tip of his tongue
with a taste o salt a taste of salt
and so is freedom made
gandhi walked to the sea for salt
and he was unafraid
