Laura Nyro Quotes

You can see the walls roar
See your brains on the floor
Become God
Become cripple
Become funky

Is to wait and serve
Under the veil
Submissive and dear
But I think my place
Is in a ship from space
To carry me
The hell out of here.

If you love me true
And if you love me true
I'll spend my life with you
And Timer
You're a jigsaw, Timer

Sage's light
Oh and Edison

In east wind skies

My troubles are many They're deep as a well I swear there ain't no Heaven And I pray there ain't no hell But I'll never know by living
only my dying will tell. And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be, one child born And a world to carry on, to carry on.

I'm not scared of dying And I, don't really care If it' s peace you find in dying
Well then, let the time be near.

Got his kindness from God

Give me my freedom for as long as I be All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me And all I ask of dyin' is to go naturally... And when I die, and when I'm gone There'll be one child born, in our world To carry on, to carry on...

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.

And from the sky come the Lord and the lightning
And from the sky come
The Lord and the lightning
