ARLO GUTHRIE - SATELLITE lyrics

rate me

words and 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
