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
