Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.

The Lord who told me to take care of my people meant me to do it just as long as I live, and so I did what he told me.

I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.

I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.

I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.
