The Voice of Nina Simone

“You can’t help it. An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” ~ Nina Simone

“There’s no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were.” ~ Nina Simone

“I am just one of the people who is sick of the social order, sick of the establishment, sick to my soul of it all. To me, America’s society is nothing but a cancer, and it must be exposed before it can be cured. I am not the doctor to cure it. All I can do is expose the sickness.” ~ Nina Simone

“You’ve got to learn to leave the table when love’s no longer being served.” ~ Nina Simone

“Life is short. People are not easy to know. They’re not easy to know, so if you don’t tell them how you feel, you’re not going to get anywhere, I feel.” ~ Nina Simone

There’s a new world comin’
And it’s just around the bend
There’s a new world comin’ (joy, joy, joy…)
This one’s comin’ to an end
There’s a new voice callin’
And you can hear it if you try
And it’s growing stronger
With every day that passes by yeah, yeah, yeah
There’s a brand new mornin’
Rising clear and sweet and free
There’s a new day dawning
That belongs to you and me
Yes a new world’s comin’
You know the one I’m talking about
The one we’d had visions of
And it’s comin’ in peace, coming in joy
Comin’ in peace, comin’ in joy
Come in peace, come in joy
Comin’ in love
And I saw another sign in heaven
Great and marvelous
Seven angels having the seven last pledge
For in them is built up the rack above
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire
And them that had gotten the victory over the beast
And over His image
And over His mark
And over the number of His name
Stand on the sea of glass
Having the harps of God all around them
There’s a new world comin’
And it’s just around the bend
There’s a new world comin’
This one’s comin’ to an end
There’s a new voice callin’
And you could hear it if you would just give it a try
And It’s growing stronger
With every day that passes by
There’s a brand new mornin’
Rising clear and sweet and free
There’s a new day dawning
That belongs to you and me
Yes a new world comin’
The one we’d had visions of
Comin’ in peace, yeah
Coming in joy, yeah
Comin’ in peace now, yeah
