"Pass It Along" with strings!!!

Scott Cook and Pamela Mae perform "Pass It Along" with Mickey and Michelle's "Restrung" project at the National Folk Festival in Canberra, Australia. www.scottcook.net www.mickeymichelle.com — This guitar came from a timber, from the body of a tree Through the workshop of a luthier, now it's on loan to me And it's good company after dinner, and it fits my hands just fine But some day another singer with a pair of hands like mine Will coax out songs much prettier still hiding in its strings And sing stronger, braver words than I could ever sing And folks are gonna love it, of this I'm almost sure So I'll take good care of it, cause I'm borrowing it from her Pass it along, pass it along May it land in careful hands when we're gone You carry it for a moment But time won't loan it to you for long You don't own it, pass it along I still love my country, sometimes it's hard to recognize it But I count myself lucky, to have been born inside it And I'm grateful for the rights others struggled hard to win And you can be sure I'm gonna fight when they try to take 'em back again Oh, and everywhere are teachers, though some fell along the way The words they said still reach us, just like you're teaching me here today And it might not be out loud, but it's clear in what you do And I hope to make you proud, because I borrowed it from you Pass it along, pass it along May it land in careful hands when we're gone You carry it for a moment But time won't loan it to you for long You don't own it, pass it along Seems these days we're in a hurry, to grab up all that's left to use Putting patents on discovery, making seeds that don't reproduce If our vision is so narrow, seeing only bought and sold We'll end up like the pharaohs, buried with their gold We've all pushed this thing along, we've all been guided by our fear But the river sings a song we've gotta be quieter to hear It's in every child's face, new and hopeful as a stem Best be gentle with this place, cause we're borrowing it from them Pass it along, pass it along May it land in careful hands when we're gone You carry it for a moment But time won't loan it to you for long You don't own it, pass it along
