Lisa Sawyer |
| She was born in New Orleans |
| New Orleans, Louisiana |
| Branded with the name Lisa Sawyer |
| Circa 1963 |
| Grandmother was Indian |
| Indian |
| Her mother’s name was Eartha |
| Swift as the wind |
| Fierce as fire |
| Her father’s name was Victor |
| Worked two jobs to provide for his flock |
| She was the youngest of seven |
| Seven |
| She grew up on Louisa Street |
| Chaos around but inside cozy |
| Small but a mansion in her eyes |
| Eyes, eyes, mansion |
| Never had much money |
| Money |
| But was filthy rich |
| With the wealth you couldn’t get from a dark casino |
| Or a lottery ticket |
| They had love |
| Love, love |
| Rich in love |
| She had the complexion of |
| The complexion of a sweet praline |
| Hair long as the sea |
| Heart warm like Louisiana sun |
| Voice like a symphony |
| Of the most beautiful instruments, Ooh |
| Beautiful |
| At the age of sixteen |
| Sixteen |
| She found Christ at an altar |
| All along he was calling her name |
| The gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man |
| Man, man |
| Gospel |
| She was born in New Orleans |
| She was born in New Orleans |
| She was born in New Orleans |
| New Orleans |
