Bless My Soul

I know why the blackbird sings

His strange and mournful song on a summer's night

I know why the spirit brings

Us back into this world until we get it right

I'm on a roll

And I begin to see the light

Bless my soul

I've been around so many times

I know why the baby cries

It's way into the arms of a mother's love

I know why true love survives(

And it is more than the red hot fire of another's touch

I'm on a roll

And I am not afraid to fight

Bless my soul

On a long hot summer's night

I see fair to warn you

That there's nothing here to stop me

(From drowning in the darkness

Of the things I can't control

The angel near my heaven

Who I know will always haunt me

Is constant and convincing

I've a long long way to go

I know why the day is long

When there is no one to talk to about my dreams

I know when the evening comes

That I will know the song of desire that the blackbird sings

I'm on a roll

And I am not afraid to fight

Bless my soul

I've been around so many times
