Rod Stewart - Blind Prayer lyrics

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 its 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
