Carolina QuotesWell I wish I could be like a bird in the sky/How sweet it would be/If I found I could fly/I'd soar to the sun/And look down at the sea/And I sing 'cause I know/How it feels to be free

More from Nina Simone
What kept me sane was knowing that things would change, and it was a question of keeping myself together until they did.
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash/Just who do you think I am?/You raise my taxes, freeze my wages/And send my son to Vietnam/You give me second class houses/And second class schools/Do you think that all colored folks/Are just second class fools?
This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it.
