Blood Sings

[Verse 1]    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 [Chorus]     And my question to you is: How did this come to pass? How did this one life fall so far and fast? [Verse 2]     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 [Chorus]     And my question to you is: How did this come to pass? How did this one life fall so far and fast? [Post-Chorus]    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
