Laura Nyro: Mother's Spiritual

Today's the 16th anniversary of her death; "Love is always alive, and part of thee...."




On a street corner
Where the kids boogie all night
Or where the winds sing
And the stars shine
Like holiday lights
Come a band of angels
Salvation in their minds
And as for peace on earth...
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
Wonders that take you
Rivers that give
That's where mother's spiritual lives

Talk of a ruby love
Lover's share
Find your love
Lose your love
Here and there
So you go home
Do your own thing
The ocean sings to me
That love is always alive
And part of thee
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
Light and darkness
Come to her kiss
'Cause that's where
mother's spiritual lives

Come to the light my sisters
And take what you need
Doesn't matter my brothers -
Your Sunday creed
Cause each one's a lover
To this winter night star
A pilgrim, a pioneer
That's who you are
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
It's not war
It's life she gives
And that's where mother's
spiritual lives.
