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 ways 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
