Song Playing in the background….
Swing Low.. Sweet Chariot.
Described as a lullaby, a song of the African Americans, a song of hope, gospel. A song that hypnotized the wakers, and the sleepers at Woodstock, as Joan Baez sang it in her clear, strong voice. Working on news of death and hope, the idea of a sweet chariot, coming to take the soul home, is a pleasant respite.
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan
And what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels
Coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
If you get there
Before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends
I’m coming too
Coming for to carry me home
Sometimes I’m up
And sometimes I’m down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul
Feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
