Arlo Guthrie - I Want To Be Around Lyrics
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
