Though the last breath of life from him has been long gone
Even though long deceased to those struggling to cope
In his songs well alive he does offer some hope
This Land Is Your Land his most famous song
To generations of Americans it does belong
A song against the narcissistic wealthy who have keep out signs on the gates of their residental address
And with the power of money among the less privileged create exclusion and unhappiness
Rest in peace Woody Guthrie his songs live today
Among those who believe on for all a fair go and fair play
As a writer of protest songs he led the way
His words have long outlived his bodily decay
Rest in peace Woody Guthrie of him none can deny
In his songs for all to make a better World to live in at least he did try
Those who deny him of greatness are stating a lie
As his voice did not fall silent on the day he did die.
