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
