Blood Sings-Suzanne Vega

[00:14.35]When blood sees blood [00:15.97]Of its own [00:18.27]It sings to see itself again [00:23.57]It sings to hear the voice its known [00:30.56]It sings to recognize the face [00:36.24]One body split and passed along the line [00:47.88]From the shoulder to the hip [00:53.25]I know these bones as being mine [01:00.24]And the curving of the lip [01:05.10]And my question to you is: [01:11.47]How did this come to pass? [01:15.09]How did this one life fall so far and fast? [01:21.77]Some are lean and some with grace, and some without; [01:33.20]All tell the story that repeats [01:37.82]Of a child who had been left alone at birth [01:46.56]Left to fend and taught to fight [01:51.55]See his eyes and how they start with light [01:58.16]Getting colder as the pictures go [02:04.46]Did he carry his bad luck upon his back? [02:12.02]That bad luck weve all come to know [02:17.82]And my question to you is: [02:23.69]How did this come to pass? [02:27.12]How did this one life fall so far and fast? [02:33.73]When blood sees blood [02:43.40]Of its own [02:45.34]It sings to see itself again [02:51.08]It sings to hear the voice its known [02:58.28]It sings to recognize the face
