My Friend Songtext

von Jimi Hendrix

Hello my friend
So happy to see you again
I'm so alone
All by myself
Just couldn't make it

Have you heared baby
What the winds blowing down
Have you heard baby
A lot of peoples coming right on down

Communication is coming on strong
It don't give a damn Baby
If your hair is short or long

I said get out of your grave
Everybody is dancing in the street
Do what you know don't be slow
You gotta practice what you preach
Cause it's time for you and me
Come to face reality

Forget about the past Baby
Things aint what they use to be
Keep on straight ahead

We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
They say power to the people
That's what they're screaming
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, Pass it on to the young and old.

You got to tell the children the truth
They don't need a whole lot of lies
Cause one of these days Baby
They'll be running things

So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman-Child-Man and wife
The best love to have is the love of life

Hello my friend
So good to see you again
Been all by myself
I don't think I can make it alone
Keep pushing ahead.

(Jimi Hendrix, August 1970)
