A few years ago I had prearranged with the band to sing the lead vocal on a song played for the Father/daughter dance.

Nothing unusual as to the song it's been used at weddings by millions...but I wanted to sing it...and make the moment personal.

She still blames me for ruining her makeup that day.

This weekend I walked into the family room and saw my two year old granddaughter swirling and twirling in dance to whatever song was going through her head.

I walked by patted her on the head and commented "Preparing for the ball monkey?"

she looked up and raised her arms...said "Dance papa please."

So I gathered her into my arms , she wrpped aher little hand over my finger and we danced. We needed a song so I started to sing as we whirled about the room.

A couple stanzs in I caught a glimpse of her mother standing in awe with tears on her face at the kitchen doorway, It suddenly dawned on me,...the song,..the moment and how life had  blossomed into perfection.

The song....

This song I carry in my heart and mind for ever!

The Internationale-Pete Seeger

Music by: Pierre Degeyter, 1889;
Written by: Eugène Pottier, Paris, June 1871;
Eugène Pottier, was a refugee from the Paris Commune, who wrote the poem while in hiding in the aftermath of the massacre of the Communards. Pottier’s poem was only set to music in 1889, two years after his death, and published in 1894, and was virtually unknown until then, so it is very unlikely that he wrote an English version. He only lived briefly in England, spending most of his post-Commune exile in New York, Philadelphia, and Newark. He did a lot of work for the various socialist parties of the time in America, all of it in French and ran a French-language school.

The International
Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We’ll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

Refrain:
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we’ll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They’ll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We’ll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E’er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we’ll strike while the iron is hot.

Love Cat Stevens and was blessed to be able to see him before he was tagged as a risk on the no fly list and not allowed into this country.  Of course that has changed and he now goes by the name of Yusuf Islam.  One thing that has not changed is his amazing talent.  Tea for the Tillerman and  Teaser & the Firecat are my two fave albums by him.  It would be impossible to pick a favorite song, but this one touches me in a way that's been unforgettable since the first time I heard it.

I heard him say that if he had had the ability to write only one song in his lifetime this would have been it.  I post it today in honor of the Father of my sons who passed away Easter Sunday two years ago.  "I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go."

Get tired of tired
Awakened by the weight of the common human state
And the metaphor: Blackbird on fire
On soft mahogany
Doesn't carry any key
