Paroles
[Verse 1]
(Blessed that be the ties that bind)
(Oh, blessed that be the ties that bind)
(Oh, blessed that be the ties that bind)
[Verse 2]
Do you ever take the time
To concentrate your mind and listen? Ooh, yeah
(Dancing to the music) To your inner soul
Marvel at the beauty that nature holds
(Spread your wings to freedom)
Erasing from your mind all the doubt you see
(Soaring like an eagle) To your victory
Your loving heart will guide you, you, you
[Verse 3]
(Blessed) Blessed (Blessed)
My soul feels good about the ties that bind
Me and you and all mankind together, together
(My soul feels good about the ties that bind)
Me and you and all mankind together
(Blessed that be the ties that bind)
Me and you and all mankind together
[Verse 4]
Glorify your love, place it far above
All other, yeah (Waken to the power) of your mother's love
Precious memories (Gather little children)
Pull your face in view to the risin' sun
(Flame of love) is a gift to you
Burning to the beat of your soul, alright
[Verse 5]
(Blessed) Blessed (Blessed)
(Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed)
(Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed)
My soul feels good about the ties that bind
Me and you and all mankind together, together
(Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed)
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
(Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed)
