Blood Sweat & Tears Songtext
von Sheryl Lee Ralph

I was raised by wolves, I was born to lead
And I starve ′til there's no more mouth to feed
There′s a hand on my throat and a blade at my feet
But the weight of the world won't bend my knees

Broken bones, battle scars
I have seen the bloodshed
Carved in stone, when it's my sword
They won′t forget

No war, no peace ′til I lead them all (no war, no peace, lead them all)
Leave me with my demons, hear my voice call (my demons, voice call)
No fears or sorrows underneath these bones
Just blood, sweat, and tears is all I know

I can use who I want, and I taste what I please
In this world, I get all my fantasies
There's a hand on my throat and a child at my feet
But the weight of the world
Won′t bend my knees


No war, no peace 'til I lead them all (no war, no peace, lead them all)
Leave me with my demons, hear my voice call (my demons)
No fears or sorrows underneath these bones
Just blood, sweat, and tears is all I know

Don′t wash away my blood
Don't wash away my sweat
It′s all I know (don't wash away my tears)
Don't wash away, don′t wash away
Don′t wash my spirit, don't cleanse my soul
Can′t break my courage, and I won't fall
′Cause that's all I know

No war, no peace ′til I lead them all (no war, no peace) (no war)
Leave me with my demons, hear my voice call (my demons)
No fears or sorrows underneath these bones
Just blood, sweat, and tears
Is all I know

Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
