Hymn 4 My Soul Songtext
von Joe Cocker

I saw myself today
I′ve smiled and looked away
Saddened by my visible life
Sorrow cut me like a knife
Nobody knows you without any doubt
Nobody wants to know you, when you're down and out

Stand by me as I grow
I′m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul

I saw myself today
So right, I could only be wrong
Trouble is when I'm alone
No doubt, no self-control, not a reason to cry
I feel like empty rain, through an empty sky

So Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
So sing a hymn for my soul


I saw myself today
I looked good, yes I had to say
Polished TV won't shine no more
Even when I go crazy
To my own self I′ll be true
Ain′t nobody's business what I do

So sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I′m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul

Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won't you stand by me
Little girl, you know it
One more

Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I′m just tryin' to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
Let′s go home

Sing a hymn for my soul
