Joe Cocker - Hymn For My Soul

   

Joe Cocker (John Robert Cocker), singer, born 20 May 1944; died 22 December 2014 



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

I was not a fan of Joe Cocker, but he was among the symbolic "songsters" of a generation, and he deserves to be remembered and acknowledged.

Your portrait is marvelous, Daliana.
