Richie Havens
From the Prison
It’s the window of experience;
It’s the broken window pain;
It’s the hurt in the eye where the glass has glanced;
To be bothered once again
To be bothered once again
Take the time to think about it;
There’s no time, I heard you say;
Make no time and space within a dream
And you’ll find eternal day
And you’ll find eternal day
To be kind to the next door taker;
To be kind to the jailhouse screw;
To be kind to a child, in the fantasy wild
Is the best thing you can do
Is the best thing you can do
Save your love for every moment;
Save your love around for days;
Save your love for every moment;
Then for ever give your love away
Then for ever give your love away
Then for ever give your love away
Save your love for every moment;
Save your love around for days;
Save your love for every moment;
Then for ever give your love away
Then for ever give your love away
Then for ever give your love away
