In other ways the herder's told
October's come, all right.”

“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.”

Laura Nyro (1947–1997) American musician and songwriter
