Music by Arlo |
|
Guthrie I'd like to tell you a story |
|
For just a minute or two |
|
And if you don't want to hear it |
|
Just be quiet if some others do |
|
I'd like to get me a satellite |
|
Way up over the world |
|
And say hello everybody and you too girl |
|
This is me your friend |
|
A.G. Speaking to you from above |
|
Here in the land of |
|
America Sending everybody love |
|
I'd like to tell the whole world |
|
In every foreign land |
|
Today looks like a day for holding hands |
|
Today ain't nothing special |
|
It's just an average day |
|
But we could get together |
|
And watch the children play |
|
Tomorrow will be soon enough |
|
To return to blood and guns |
|
Let's just take the day off and have some fun |
|
Today we tell the hungry |
|
That food is on the way |
|
Today we tell the sick ones |
|
That soon you'll be okay |
|
Today we tell the prisoners |
|
That soon you will be free |
|
Don't no one take this microphone from me |
|
And while |
|
I'm up here honey |
|
I got a message for you |
|
I know I've got just a little while |
|
So let me end it through |
|
The whole world's dancing 'round and 'round |
|
Like a universe of fools |
|
And ain't it wonderful to see |
|
A day that breaks the rules |
|
Like a day that's made for me and you |
|
Oh ain't it wonderful to see |
|
A day that breaks the rules |
|
Like a day that's made for me and you |
