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
|
|
