I won't wake
A wealthy man someday
'Cause the sun don't follow me

I won't wake
Without a song to sing
Nothing to some
Everything to me

In my worst
I'll do my best
To make it seem
Like I am happy

'Cause I've grown numb
Dry as my tear ducts
Have grown dumb
And empty

But don't give up on me
Give up on me
Give up on me

Interesting story on this one. NASA sent out a voyager to space in 1977, and in the voyager, they put in a golden record of this song by Willie Johnson. They did this in hopes to communicate with any alien species who may find this voyager out in the universe, and for them to listen to this song. That's why on the record notice it says, "The Sounds of Earth". NASA knew that the alien race who may find this won't speak our language, so they made sure the song doesn't have any verbal lyrics but instead conveys a certain emotion so that the ones listening can get an idea of what we were trying to say. Communicate not through words, but emotions. When I listen to this, a get a feeling of loneliness out in the middle of nowhere, and a fear that there's no one but just me. Maybe they were trying to communicate to them, "please come visit us, we are so lonely out here"?
