And When I Die Live by Laura Nyro Lyrics

Verse 1
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
If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here
Just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there
Crazy cold way down there

Chorus 1
And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on

Verse 2
My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well
I can swear thеre ain't no heaven & I pray thеre ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no heaven & pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin' only my dyin' will tell

Chorus 2
And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
[Verse 3]
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 dying is to go naturally

[Chorus 3]
And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
