LITTLE BIT OF ME
Writer: Melanie Safka
Publishers: EMI April Music Inc (ASCAP)
From the album GATHER ME (1971)

Balanced on my mountain
With the people all around
Who say that I've been up too long
And they want to bring me down
Well I wouldn't mind the falling...no
It's the ones who come to see
If all I've got left inside
Is a little bit of me

Won't you hold my hand now
Hold my hand tight
Hold lightly in the day
And hold harder at night
Well I don't mind the coming down
It's the way it's got to be
What I hope I got left inside
Is a little bit of me

Now when it is all over
And I become a seed
They'll plant me in the universe
Where the balance gotta be
Now I don't mind the dying, no.
It's the way it's got to be
But I hope I leave behind
Just a little bit of me
A little bit of me

To be balanced on my mountain
With the people all around
Who say that I've been up too long
And they want to bring me down
I don't mind the coming down
It's the way it's gotta be
What I hope I got left inside
Is a little bit of me

Hope I got something left for me
Hope I got something left for me
Hope I got something left for me
