And when i die de Laura Nyro

I'm not scared of dyin'
and i don't really care
if it's peace you find in dyin'
well then let the time be near
just bundle up my coffin
'cause its cold way down there
and when i die
and when i'm gone
there'll be one child born
and a world to carry on
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 livin'
only my dyin' will tell
and when i die
and when i'm gone
there'll be one child born
and a world to carry on
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
and a world to carry on
