about

A tribute.

lyrics

Well, a fire is spreading in the land where I live
And I'm looking inside to see what I can give
I'm an Island sometimes but I got my dear words
So I'll cast you a bottle and see if I'm heard

Hey, hey, Joanie Baez, I wrote you a song
It's humble and small but in my heart it plays long
It's here should I ever be run down by fate
Should I ever be bound to the things I create

There's no way I can say whether I'll follow you
But I'll march right beside you if you just ask me to
It's a wise man who humbles himself to the past
And it's surely too early to say "free at last"

Here's to Pete and Odetta and Old You-Know-Who
And all those whose names just never came through
And the stories they told that roll down from the hills
That keep me from crying or make the tears spill

Now I've seen some hard struggle but I'm still pretty young
And there's so many more of those songs to be sung
So I hope that you hear over my childish strumming
Since you've been singing, I've been overcoming
