Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sometimes I Wish(Carole Etzler Eagleheart
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I wish my eyes had never been opened
I found this quote:

Sometimes I wish my eyes hadn't been opened
Sometimes I wish I could no longer see
All of the pain and the hurt and the longing of my
Sisters and me as we try to be free
Sometimes I wish my eyes hadn't been opened,
Just for an hour, how sweet it would be
Not to be struggling, not to be striving,
But just sleep securely in our slavery.

Several web sites quote the line "Sometimes I wish my eyes hadn't been opened" and some of them say the line is from a song by Carole Etzler, but none of them explicitly say what the song title is, or what album it's from.

Carole Etzler recorded at least 4 albums: "Sometimes I Wish" (1976) and "Womanriver Flowing On" (1978) "Thirteen Ships" (1985) "Rainbows in My Mind" (2000).

One site said Carole Etzler changed her name to Carole Eagleheart. I found some sites that mention "Carole Etzler Eagleheart."
