Other heroes

(words and lyrics by Pete Seeger)

Sailng down my golden river

Sun and water all my own

Yet I was never alone

Sun and water,

old life givers

l'll have them where ere I roam

And I was not far from home

Sunlight glancing on the water

Life and death are all my own

Yet I was never alone

Life for all my sons and daughters

Golden sparkles in the foam

And I was not far from home

Sailing down this winding highway

Travelers from near and far

And I was never alone

Exploring all the little byways

Sighting all the distant stars

And I was not far from home

Sailing down my golden river

Sun and water all my own

Yet I was never alone

Sun and water, old life givers

l'll have them where ere I roam

And I was not far from home

Yet I was never alone

And I was not far from home

Prologue
words and music by Arlo Guthrie

In the event of my demise

Be sure to include this statement:

When you are bent on closing my eyes

Thinking about what my life meant

Alone on a hill back in '65

Things looked a lot like changing

Singing our songs that we harmonized

Dreaming of worlds rearranging

And I don't know why I'm singing tonight

Maybe it's time someone told you

Just because you say you've seen the light

Doesn't mean nobody sold you

I can remember all of your smiles

During the demonstrations

Taking on what seemed like the whole world

Igniting the hearts of our nations

And together we sang our victory songs

Though we were worlds apart

Every thing then has now passed away

Except for the love in my heart

Sitting at home on computerized beds

Tryine to come to conclusions

Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads

Ignoring the states of illusion

Drunk in a world of material wealth

No one can notice you falling

Fantastic flights once good tor your health

Now make you deaf to your calling

And all alone the prophet groans

With words as yet unseen

Who'll be awake when the master returns

Who will be lost in their dreams

So in the event of my demise

Be sure to include this statement:

Only the words of love kept alive

Are worthy of not being wasted
