A Song...

... for my mother…

Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side…

(Music by EH Harburg and lyrics by Harold Arlen. Not that there is another song they co-wrote that comes to mind...)

Good luck, Mom . A song for you on your way.
