Blood Sings Lyrics

Blood Sings lyrics

When blood sees blood

 Of its own

 It sings to see itself again

 It sings to hear the voice it's known

 It sings to recognize the face

 

 One body split and passed along the line

 >From the shoulder to the hip

 I know these bones as being mine

 And the curving of the lip

 

 And my question to you is:

 How did this come to pass?

 How did this one life fall so far and fast?

 

 Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;

 All tell the story that repeats

 Of a child who had been left alone at birth

 Left to fend and taught to fight

 

 See his eyes and how they start with light

 Getting colder as the pictures go

 Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?

 That bad luck we've all come to know

 

 And my question to you is:

 How did this come to pass?

 How did this one life fall so far and fast?

 

 When blood sees blood

 Of its own

 It sings to see itself again
