Blind Prayer Lyrics - The Rod Stewart Album - 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 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
