We’re all nothing but walking paradoxes, and I love it!


Old Daddy Blue said, 

Our people love the rivers 

Told me the moving blue 

Runs through our souls and veins 

Old Daddy Blue said, 

The rivers makes way for our tears

Told me if it weren’t for them, 

We’d have drowned in our own despair 

Old Daddy Blue said, 

Our freedom tunes bounced  

along the currents 

Told me we named the blues 

From the big blue Mississippi 

destroyer of souls 

savior saint to sinners 

tearing out hearts: hope
