lyrics

Flesh & Blood & Bone

No two souls are ever quite the same
everybody feels a different pain
we’re the sum of everything we’ve ever seen or known
everybody’s flesh & blood & bone

I’ve been across the sea and up and down the block
I’ve been in awe, I’ve been in love and I’ve been shocked
the meaning is mysterious, my destiny’s unknown
I suppose that I’ll just muddle on

We all try to make it home
no body is machinery, no heart is made of stone
we all cry in the night alone
everybody’s flesh & blood & bone

Stranger come a long way now he’s standing at my door
I see the difference ‘tween being broke and being poor
kindness is a kingdom you gotta share to own
and my brother he is flesh & blood & bone

We all try to find a home
nobody’s machinery, no heart is made of stone
we all cry in the night alone
everybody’s flesh & blood & bone

Flesh & blood & bone
it takes more to make us whole
even if John Prine is gone
there’s still heart and there’s still soul

Now that orange clown is foolish, mean and vain
he never gives a thought to anybody else’s pain
but don’t everyone need shelter and a hand to hold?

We all try to make it home
no body is machinery, no heart is made of stone
we all cry in the night alone
everybody’s flesh & blood & bone
