    I am now old and severely disabled but in my mind still I fly. I do love this song. I’ve included in the list of music I want for my celebration of life, right beside Beethoven, Mozart and other music I love.

    Giddens music is how we will dismantle systemic oppression. I believe she is political in her music solely by being here.

    This song brings back my feelings for my mom. I held her, as she died - and then she flew away.
    a great artist, who appeals to me very much!

    my mom always used to sing me to sleep when I was younger, and it always made me feel so safe and warm inside. This makes me feel the exact same way

    At NOLA Jazzfest, 2016, I was angling for a good seat to see John Mayall, so got to the Blues Tent early, and there she was. Her mic test blew me away. Fan ever since.

    I love that her stories tell stories that need to be heard. And yes like Joan Baez she is a tremendous folk artist. Rhiannon definitely breaks the boundaries and flies amongst the stars. Ya I love her.

    this is the song to be played in the beginning of summer when worries start to be less relevant and the when the sunset lasts longer ; while looking at the sky as the birds chirp to settle in the trees as the sun sets.

    She was great with the Carolina Chocolate Drops and she's even better now. I first heard her when the Chocolate Drops were part of tribute to Johnny Cash, and they sang "Jackson." It was a performance for the ages.

    Mama, dear mama,
    look in yonder tree
    See that pretty little sparrow, a-lookin'
    back at me.
    She can soar above the clouds, way up in the sky
    She can fly away from here, why, oh why, can't I?
    Daughter, dear daughter, I'll tell you something true
    Remember Granny Liiza? Well, every night she flew.
    They tried to keep her down but there was nothing they could do.
    She could fly, she could fly
    She could slip the bonds of Earth and rise so high.
    She could fly across the river. Her spirit in her hands. Searching, always searching for the promised land.
    Mama, dear mama, mama tell me more. I feel a trembling in my arms, I've never felt before.
    Daughter, dear daughter, listen what I say
    Your granny always told me you'd feel that way some day.
    'Cause every time she looked at you she saw the old-time ways.
    When we could fly,
    we could fly . We could slip the bonds of Earth
    and rise so high.
    We could fly across the mountains Together,
    hand in hand.
    Searching, always searching for the
    promised land.
    ~ interlude ~
    Mama, dear mama, come and stand by me
    I feel a lightness in my feet, a longing to be free
    My heart it is a-shakin' with an old, old song.
    I hear the voices singin' it's time for moving on.
    She took her mama by the hand, they rose up in the air They held each other tight and then they flew away from there.
    They held each other tight and then they flew away from there
    They could fly, they could fly. They could slip the bonds of earth and rise so high. They could fly across the ocean
    Together, hand in hand.
    Searching, always searching for the promised land.
