I've heard people say it sounds to 'happy' for the poem. Goes to show people spent to much time being negative and miss the point.

Why am I walking, where am I running

What am I saying, what am I knowing

On this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin'

On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm singin'

In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm writin'

In the words that I'm thinkin'

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinkin'

Who am I helping, what am I breaking

What am I giving, what am I taking

But you try with your whole soul best

Never to think these thoughts and never to let

Them kind of thoughts gain ground

Or make yer heart pound

it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks neg or pos in a non ceptual mind perception doesn't exist wouldnt matter naturally we are all happy why waaste time thinking if something is neg or pos happy or sad and just be ourselves thinking only teaches us how to be other than that we are all born happy we all only learn to think of ways to not being happy.

How awesome is it to know that Dreams really do come True?!"1961, Bob Dylan achieved his dream of meeting his idol Woody Guthrie when Guthrie was on weekend release from hospital where he was being treated for Huntington's Chorea. Dylan told him; ‘I was a Woody Guthrie jukebox’. Guthrie gave Dylan a card which said: ‘I ain't dead yet’." ~ thisdayinmusic.comHave a Great Day :)
