Joe Cocker - Hymn 4 My Soul lyrics

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

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
I saw myself today didn't like
What I had to say 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
I'm just trying to climb up nine hills
In seven short days
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 flyin' dragons
Surround my door 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
Tell me about it

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
Sing a hymn for my soul 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
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won't you do that for me
Take me all the way home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul come on baby
Stand by me as I grow
