I saw myself today
I 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
Yeah!
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
Sing a hymn for my soul
(Tell me 'bout it)
I saw myself today
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
(Sing for me)
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won't you stand by me
Whoo, Whoo, Whoo
Little girl, you know that I love you
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 grow
Won't you do that for me
Whoo, Whoo, Whoo
Take me on my way home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
My baby, for me
Stand by me as I grow
