Just give me a cool drink of water 'fore I diiie --
Where love is a scream of anguish --
Just before the world ends --
Oh pray my wings are gonna fit me well --
And still I rise --
Touch me, life, not softly --
Traveling --
And still I rise --
Shaker, why don't you sing? --
I shall not be moved --
On the pulse of morning --
Celebrations --
A brave and startling truth --
Amazing peace --
Mother : a cradle to hold me --
Amazement awaits --
His day is done.
