Mason D. Hoyt - Woody Guthrie Lyrics

I wish I could be like Woody Guthrie
And put us all at ease
But whenever I try to calm them down
They only tend to tease
I wander on in the bitter cold
And I long for calmer tides
And you can bet that I'll be here that day
When the peacetime sun arrives

And I know we'll say the sky was blue that day
And I know we'll walk; we'll stand up on a rock
We'll laugh and cry, and raise that flag up high
We'll shout and sing, and all our love we'll bring

I wish I could be like MLK
And bring the stars in reach
But I don't have his charisma
I don't have his skills of speech
But still I'll keep my dreams in view
And march on with the crowd
And hopefully together
We can spread this joy around

And I know we'll say the sky was blue that day
And I know we'll walk; we'll stand up on a rock
We'll laugh and cry, and raise that flag up high
We'll shout and sing, and all our love we'll bring
And I know we'll say the sky was blue that day
And I know we'll walk; we'll stand up on a rock
We'll laugh and cry, and raise that flag up high
We'll shout and sing, and all our love we'll bring
And I know we'll say the sky was blue that day
And I know we'll walk; we'll stand up on a rock
We'll laugh and cry, and raise that flag up high
We'll shout and sing, and all our love we'll bring
