ARLO GUTHRIE - I WANT TO BE AROUND lyrics

rate me

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

Remember back when I was born

High up in the sky

Looking down upon the scene

I can't recall just why

A white love light come up to me

I followed it back down

Sayin' this is the tune of the Earth my friends

When I want to be around

I want to be around

When the stars fall on the ground

Walking hand in hand with every man

Sleeping in the sun with everyone

Abraham come in one more time

It must have been in L.A.

He just said, "Joe won't you stay?"

"All right, O.K.," he said to me

"I got nothing else to do."

So Abe walked in, he's back again

Until his life is through

He's going to be around

While a whole new world goes down

Walking hand in hand with every man

Sleeping in the sun with everyone

Every night by morning light

I look up on the hill

Digging all the cosmic sights

And I recognize it's Will

I said, "Oh Well, it's getting time

I'm beginning to feel my load."

He said, "Don't worry brother

"Cause you and the others

Will see it out on the road."

And I want to be around

When all over this world

You can't hear a sound 'cept everyone

Singing songs of glory in the sun
