"Oh Pluto" is inspired by NASA's New Horizons Mission to Pluto, our hunger to learn and understand, and the light in the human spirit.
Christine Lavin, Emily Bindiger, and Grammy-winner, Julie Gold, sing on this with me.
Income from this track will support Craig's work on this project, his tuition for Inter-faith Chaplaincy education, his volunteer efforts and his overall ability to sustain while doing various good things in the world.
lyrics
“Oh Pluto” by Craig Werth , Newmarket, NH, May 2015
we are your distant neighbors,
from the planet that is blue,
and we’re coming for a visit,
with the hope of knowing you.
you may have felt the buzzing,
as we’ve studied from afar,
we take a special interest in,
all that shares this yellow star.
Pluto,
you’ll know,
soon, oh Pluto,
you’ll know who we are.
we are the beings,
who render designation,
we strive to do our best,
with our grit and innovation,
as we test our many theories,
climbing over, crawling under,
we’re full of good intentions,
curiosity and wonder.
Pluto,
you’ll know,
soon, oh Pluto,
you’ll know who we are.
we’re sending out a vessel,
that is smart and true and sturdy,
it carries forth the mission,
beside Clyde from 1930,
to figure out the universe,
for woman and for man,.
to grow our understanding,
to learn all that we can.
Pluto,
you’ll know,
soon, oh Pluto,
you’ll know who we are.

beautiful songs with rich, authentic accompaniment. A fine tribute to both the Gaelic language and Americana. I make a tiny contribution with dulcimer, but there's a star line-up of artists here. Craig Werth
Guy is simply brilliant. This collection demonstrates his range of talents and potent writing and arranging. He also draws great talent from his great community of dazzling artist friends. It's a gem. Craig Werth
