Pete Seeger died one year ago
on January 27, 2014.
Age 94.
 I still believe the only chance for 
the human race to survive
 is to give up such pleasures as 
war, racism 
and private profit.
-- Rolling Stone interview, 1979

Pete Seeger Old 2  

    Sailing down my golden river,

Sun and water all my own,

Yet I was never alone.

 

Sun and water, old life givers,

I'll have them where e'er 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 to raise 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,

Yet I was never alone.

 

Exploring all the little by-ways,

Sighting all the distant stars,

And I was not far from home.

Sailing Down My Golden River
