Lyrics
(Intro: Solo de harmônica ou guitarra bem arrastado, marcado pelo estalar de dedos)
Verse 1
Man: I look at the news, and the world is in pain...
Chorus: (Ooh, so much pain...)
Man: Politicians fighting, driving us insane...
Chorus: (Driving us insane!)
Man: But I whistle my song where the cotton grows,
Chorus: (Whistle that tune!)
Man: Out in the field, that's where my spirit goes.
Chorus (Todos juntos - Plateia e Coro)
All:
Oh, the Blues commands my soul,
Makes a broken man feel whole!
We plant our love beneath the sun,
Two hearts beating just like one.
Sing it loud, let the music roll,
Yeah, the Blues commands my soul!
Verse 2
Man: People forgot how to laugh on the stage...
Chorus: (Living in a cage...)
Man: Blinded by money, blinded by rage...
Chorus: (So much rage!)
Man: But I look at my woman, and she looks at me,
Chorus: (Look at her now!)
Man: That’s the only truth that a blind man can see.
Chorus (Todos juntos - Plateia e Coro)
All:
Oh, the Blues commands my soul,
Makes a broken man feel whole!
We plant our love beneath the sun,
Two hearts beating just like one.
Sing it loud, let the music roll,
Yeah, the Blues commands my soul!
Bridge (O Dueto)
Man: I dedicate my life to you, my dear...
Chorus (Woman's voice leading): And I’ll hold you tight, keep away the fear.
Man & Chorus: We plow this ground, we share this bread,
Man & Chorus: With a song of joy inside our head!
(Solo curto e expressivo de guitarra)
Verse 3 (Grand Finale - Crescendo)
Man: The world is in despair, but we stand tall...
Chorus: (We won’t fall!)
Man: Love and the Blues will save us all...
Chorus: (Save us all!)
Man: Hear our duet, hear our happy sound,
Chorus: (Best sound around!)
Man: We’re lifting our heaven right off the ground!
Outro / Chorus Final (Com a plateia batendo palmas no ritmo)
All:
Oh, the Blues commands my soul,
Makes a broken man feel whole!
We plant our love beneath the sun,
Two hearts beating just like one.
Man: Yeah, the Blues... (Harmônica chora ao fundo)
Chorus: (The Blues...)
Man: It commands my soul.
Chorus: (It makes us whole!)
All: Yeah! (Acorde final seco e marcante)
