Description: This is my simple cover of the 1968 Dion song written by Dick Holler and well known for its socio-political message. Thanks again to my dear friend Nat Daniels for kindly adding her standup bass and tasteful production to my rough iPhone recording. The memories and message live on and we hope the lessons will guide future generations forever.

Firstly, the version I remember by Marvin Gaye is one of my all time favourites, but I really like this almost C&W take-the sentiment is timeless...

May the future prove you wholeheartedly right . Beautiful cover.

Very beautiful, thank you for creating and sharing with us 🌸

Wow did you ever nail a spontaneous and original interpretation!

inscribed within the runes
a tale of sun and moon
the words tell stories of endless life we find

we set our eyes
where the earth meets the skies
our promise to kin beyond the waves

in a land beyond the sea, we sail, a foreign tree
beneath the waters of humid skies partake of poison skin

sail with me, an earth release
if you lost all that you had, regret?
and there you take my hand, you draw the curtains on
a kiss, my love, I'll see you soon

in a land beyond the sea, we sail, a foreign tree
beneath the waters of humid skies partake of poison skin

as I entered the dream
I walked through the door
waiting for me was everyone I ever knew
suddenly life made sense
I laid on the cold ground
it touched my shivered spine
looking up at the humid skies
and heard the voice again

inside us, within you
discover us within you
inside us, within you
discover us 

inside us, within you
discover us within you
inside us, within you 
discover us 

the walls were black
the rain was dry
the stars of galaxies grew within.....

the voice that spoke to me
were those that came before
I slept safe while their smile crept my veins 

we stood with toad in hand
embraced the poisoned land
a kiss, my love, we made it through

our eyes return to sea
we sailed the foreign tree
beneath the waters of humid skies we sailed....

Poverty
The "Schwabengehen", which finds its first mentions already in the 16th and 17th century, experienced its peak in the 19th century. It is estimated that at that time five to six thousand children worked annually on farms abroad as herd boys, maids or as farmhands. The background to this was the extremely low soil yields in the alpine regions and the associated poverty, which drove parents to send one or more of their numerous children abroad.

The Ways
The ways from Tyrol and Vorarlberg or from Switzerland to Upper Swabia were long and arduous. For some of the children, most of whom were between 5 and 14 years old, it led over mountain passes such as the Arlberg, which were usually still covered in snow in March and which many had to overcome with poor shoes and scanty clothing. Usually their companion was an adult, sometimes a priest, who made sure along the way that the children could settle down to sleep in warm stables and who negotiated prices at the markets. The construction of the Arlberg railroad in 1884 made the journey easier for the Tyrolean children.

The "children's markets" in Upper Swabia usually took place around Josephi (March 19). At Simon and Juda (end of October) or at the latest at Martini (November 11) they went back home. In the luggage were then the so-called "Doppelt Häs" (a double set of clothes from the headgear to the footwear) and, depending on the age and the negotiated price, a few guilders.

The Hütekinder arrived at the port of Friedrichshafen by ship from Bregenz. Since 1891, the central market place for the Hütekinder was in Karlstraße in Friedrichshafen. The children who were not placed traveled by train to Ravensburg to be placed there.

The work
In their homeland, Swabian children were exempted from compulsory schooling every year, and in the Kingdom of Württemberg the compulsory schooling that had existed there since 1836 did not apply to foreign children. The politically repeatedly demanded extension of compulsory schooling was prevented until 1921 by an Upper Swabian farmers' lobby.

On his excellent music, I wrote a poetry and played sitar and flute, with owls:

Déjà se décline du delta la symphonie vespérale de quelques prêtresses ainsi purpurines et hymnes aux ruines qu'affine de platine la poussière bientôt stellaire serres par sortilèges soufflés à la bouche en prières d'Alice. 
Elle n'a pas l'emprise des siècles celle qui se fait désirer de frissons en frissons lissés par ce lapis lazuli couché à l'horizon et parure de la bientôt nuitée mais elle est sut irrémédiablement d'Alice ainsi enténèbrée de secrets aux glyphes des cieux, à leurs paroles de pierres, à leurs amours occultes qu'elle en serait prête à sacrifier son hymen à Amon afin de jouir du geyser scintillant tout là haut où se gorgera l'esquisse astrale par augures abyssales des sables néanmoins éteints d'une destinée diamantifère.
D'un soupir, Alice redessine ce monde bien trop carcéral affirmant sa quête céleste et d'une caresse sur l'albâtre dépose le petal écarlate d'un ancien cerisier maître des floraisons explosives d'orient.
Par le socle de cette confiance, par son cœur éclatant, par son souffle ciseleur, par son clin d'œil qui enflamme l'instant, Alice attend la comète Ikeya-seki dans les ruines de Tanis, telle l'adorable horreur de la mort fécondant l'existence à l'aurore.
