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
