More From Arlo Guthrie

Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.
Girl Song Struggle
The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.
Song Native American Medicine
People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons; twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. it's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.

You know the one with the big ears? wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. you know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song - she's gonna get her a- whipped. the great beyoncé but i can't stand beyoncé. she has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day singing my song that i've been singing forever.
Song Waiting Forever
Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.
Beautiful Jobs Voice
People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.

Honestly? i don’t want people around me for two reasons – they ultimately betray you or they die on you. either way, you’re screwed and you spend all your time obsessing on why you didn’t see it coming. or that you did something or didn’t do something to cause it. no offense, but i don’t like to be hurt and i’d rather just avoid it.(ravyn)
