Strangely Blessed
My father said to me:
"Go follow your destiny"
And then he pushed me strong
"You must carry on"
And I wanna go, but I wanna wipe my baby tears away first

My mother said to me:
"Go, son, where you will feel free"
And then she pushed me strong
"You must carry on"
And I wanna go, but I wanna wipe my baby tears away first

My heart dries of thirst in the desert of my chest
My tears are made of blessed blood
And if you wanna make me happy
Then don’t expect me to love you
Love me instead

My brother said to me:
"Go, brother, and set you free"
"Don’t worry about me"
"Again me you will see me"
And I wanna go, but I wanna wipe my baby tears away first

My sister said to me:
"Go, brother, so heavenly"
"Don’t worry about me"
"I’m here to set you free"
And I wanna go, but I wanna wipe my baby tears away first

My heart is full of hope there as it hangs in its hanging tree
I am afraid to be me
And I don’t wanna brag or something
But I’m sadder than sadness itself
And I am strangely blessed
