there's no place in this world where i'll belong when i'm gone.
and i won't know the right from the wrong when i'm gone.
and you won't find me singin' on this song when i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
and i won't feel the flowing of the time when i'm gone.
all the pleasures of love will not be mine when i'm gone.
my pen won't pour out a lyric line when i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
and i won't breathe the bracing air when i'm gone.
and i can't even worry 'bout my cares when i'm gone.
won't be asked to do my share when i'm gone.
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
and i won't be running from the rain when i'm gone.
and i can't even suffer from the pain when i'm gone.
can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
won't see the golden of the sun when i'm gone.
and the evenings and the mornings will be one when i'm gone.
can't be singing louder than the guns when i'm gone.
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
all my days won't be dances of delight when i'm gone.
and the sands will be shifting from my sight when i'm gone.
can't add my name into the fight while i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.
and i won't be laughing at the lies when i'm gone.
and i can't question how or when or why when i'm gone.
can't live proud enough to die when i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.

Ani DiFranco (nata Angela Marie Di Franco) è una cantautrice, musicista e attivista americana di origini italo-americane. Considerata un'icona del folk alternativo e della musica indipendente, DiFranco si distingue per la sua voce potente, le sue liriche introspettive e il suo stile musicale eclettico che fonde elementi di folk, rock, hip hop e jazz. Iniziò a suonare in locali underground all'età di 16 anni, pubblicando il suo primo album indipendente nel 1990. DiFranco ha sempre mantenuto un forte controllo creativo sul suo lavoro, fondando la sua etichetta discografica, Righteous Babe Records, nel 1990. La sua musica affronta temi sociali come il femminismo, la giustizia sociale e l'ambiente, guadagnandosi il rispetto di una vasta fanbase che apprezza la sua autenticità e la sua capacità di parlare a un pubblico ampio con sincerità e coraggio.
