Hmm, the first line's missing from this one too which should be: "I was born from love."
I heard that some lines were cut out of this song for being "too controversial." I wish I could hear the original version, but it's still a fantastic song and definitely gets its point across all the same.
Laura Nyro wrote this song. about her struggle with Lesbianism. She married but her marriage disolved.. her conflicting feelings and passions raged inside her soul.. She was very cose to her mother,.. when faced with this dilemma she wanted to feel secure in her mothers arms again and start all over again.. She was a good person she was born from love, and raised on the good book Jesus..She did not want to go down the stoney end. In Biblical times women were stoned when they did not conform.

This is the original, "controversial' version. The watered down version changed around the the bit about the Good Book and reading between the lines of it. Fortunately that version didn't catch on.

The censored version is available on you tube. It has one change to replace the verse about the good book with winsome johnny. I like the original better, but the new verse is interesting.

This song was written in the late sixties. Ms. Nyro was early twenties and not married yet. The nasty comments of other posters should be ignored.
