Blind Prayer Lyrics by Rod Stewart

Blind Prayer

[rod stewart]

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
Till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
I lost both my mother and my father
Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that aint all

A homeless child for the next five years
With my dog clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fought my way through school
Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend
And you know what the, the, the kids
Down my street werent too playful
And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me
And ah yeah

I worked my fingers to the bone
Stretchin hide for a boot man in jersey town
But then, but then I lost the last thing I had
When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown
I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what Im trying to say is
God please dont take her away from me

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt
Tread my name into the dirt yeah

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do

I never knew how much love could hurt me
But it never ever come my way before
No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it aint never come my way before
Oh but, but you know what Im trying to say
Really what Im trying to say is
God please dont take her away from me

Ah turn it down

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt

You got a lotta lotta lost everything
That I ever had ever had
