Kali's
This is from Arlo's Mystic Journey CD. Inside the sleeve is a picture of the Goddess Kali Ma. Arlo, son of Woody Guthrie, has had many great songs since Alice's Restaurant and is very outspoken about his belief that all paths lead to the Ultimate. WAKE UP DEAD words and music by Arlo GuthrieWhen I was youngerShe'd come to me in dreamsHer face was hiddenIn the mountain streamsHer voice disguisedAs the sound of the windThe rustling of leavesShe would call from withinChorus:Wake up, wake up, wake up, she saidWake up, wake up, wake up, wake up deadSo many memoriesOf those years have passedBeyond the confusionThat [ thought would last foreverThe countless veilsThat I wore like clothesHave been stripped awayNow [ stand here exposedChorusIn the night when the moonCasts no shadows at allWe sat by the fireAs she started to callOut to all who would hearThat the death of what's deadIs the birth of what's livingAnd her words filled my headChorusIt's the life that lies sleepingWhen you think you're awakeForever is realAnd the rest is just fakeAnd though volumes are writtenOn this subject aloneShe used three simple wordsAnd she brought it all homeChorus©1994 Arloco Music Inc (ASCAP)All Rights Reserved.
