Laura Nyro A Free Thinker
Song # 6 on the album " Mother's Spiritual"
" A Free Thinker"
You don't have your own
You're livin' thru others
Toss and turn at night
but you play it demure
and whats more
you don't think you've got the right
to be a free thinker
You could give yourself the right
You could shine your special light
Are you a consumer
A mere number
on a supermarket line?
wear a perfect mask
and never show your feelings
maybe you can make the time
To be a free thinker
You could find your own style
You may feel more alive
Do you ever wonder
Can we save our planet
and where will it go in time?
White hawk's* destroy
And healer's send joy
back to the starry nite line
for a free thinker
with some individuality
you may find you feel more free
