I never saw such flower faces Or so intent a sky. I never heard such lines From horns or violins, Or saw such lavish girls, such dandy boys, And I know why. It's that the world is asking not to die. I never saw such hands Flexing like silver leaves, I never knew such air, Or leaned to so good a breeze. Even the tears I cry, They aren't salt but clear, For seabirds riding the wind, calling their last, Their wild goodbye. The world is asking not to die. I want to hold this world And never let it go, I want the sun to always rise On the kids next door. Whether I go or stay, That question still abides, Posed by rainbows in the river spray. What answer do you give A world that asks so bitterly to live? Words and music by Malvina Reynolds. Copyright Schroder Music Company 1969 |

It is available as a perfectly legal, simple and very cheap download here. Cheers DtG |
