And When I Die (live from The Bottom Line)

And When I Die - Laura Nyro

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

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 as deep as a well

I can swear there ain't no heaven

But I pray there ain't no hell

Swear there ain't no heaven

And 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

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 when I die and when I'm gone

There'll be one child born

And a world to carry on
