3 Sourced Quotes

We look for love
No time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow.
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know.

Bill Withers

Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning. Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well. Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning, She'd say, "Billy, don't you run so fast, might fall on a piece of glass, might be snakes there in that grass."

Bill Withers

Lean on me when you're not strong.
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on.
For, it won't be long 'til
I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
