Oh Odetta, sing for me!
Take me across that deep blue sea;
Back to the Garden whence we came—
Back to the spring of your sweet refrain.
"All the way to freedom land...
All the way to freedom land."
Across the skies and back through time;
Back to the cradle of humankind. *

Be better soon, Odetta!

We love you,

Stephen and family
