I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
Which I have foretold
He raises his arms tied
Above the abyss
Singing his sweet song
His melody opens up the sun
Freedom raid
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
She sleeps with her eyes closed
To dream of the past
Her mind has gone blind now
While the memory closes up this sun
Freedom rain
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
[yeah]
I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
SOUL SONG
(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - George Richey)

Mhm mhm mhm
You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song and that's why I call you my solid-gold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
Never in the world have I seen anybody like you in all my time
You give me a feel good feelin' through and through and it's so fine
I'm up with the sun cause I don't wanna waste it
I love you so much I can almost taste it
I can sit still when I look up and see you comin' I start hummin' hmm
You're my soul song my keep-me-safe-from-all-harm song
My shelter-from-all-storm song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song my keep-me-warm-when-I'm-cold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
I have drifted down a ways along the shoreline,
I just watched these ropes give way
Where they were tied.
I could have reached out quick when the ropes first slipped, if I had tried,
But I was wondering
Where the wind was trying to take me
Overnight, if I never did resist, and
What strange breezes make a sailor want to
Let it come to this,
With lines untied, slipping through my fist.
It is downhill all the way to the ocean,
So of course the river always wants to flow.
The river's been here longer,
It's older and stronger and knows where to go,
And I was wondering where the river's
Trying to take me
Overnight, if I never did resist, and
What strange breezes make a sailor want to
Let it come to this,
With lines untied, slipping through my fist.
This is where I played as a baby.
This is where I ran as a child.
This is where my dad took the last breath he had,
And smiled.
I guess I'm wondering
Where this place is trying to take me
Overnight, if I never did resist, and
What strange breezes make a sailor want to
Let it come to this,
Mhm mhm mhm
