The Emotions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blessed that be the ties that bind
Whoa
Blessed that be the ties that bind
Whoa
Blessed that be the ties that bind
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
(Blessed) blessed, (blessed)
Ah, yeah, ooh yeah, yeah
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
Whoa
Blessed that be the ties that bind
Me and you, and all mankind
Whoa, ooh
Glorify your love, place it far above all other, ooh, yeah
(Waken to the power) Of your mother's love
And precious memories (gather little children)
Pull your face in view to the rising sun
(Flame of love) Is a gift to you
Burning to beat of your soul, alright
(Blessed), Blessed, blessed, ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah
Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
My soul feels good about the ties that bind me and you, and all mankind, together
Together
Blessed, blessed, blessed, ooh, ooh
Blessed, blessed, blessed ooh, ooh
Blessed, ooh, ooh
The lyrics of The Emotions' song Blessed are a celebration of love and memories. The song glorifies the power of love, placing it above everything else. The lyrics suggest that love is the most important thing in life and that our memories of loved ones keep us connected to them even after they are gone. The line "Precious memories put your place into view" alludes to the fact that our memories of loved ones can be a source of comfort and inspiration.
The lyrics then take a more spiritual turn, with the line "Into the rising sun, my soul feels so kins." This may be interpreted as a spiritual awakening or an uplifting feeling that comes with being in the presence of loved ones, whether they are still physically with us or not. The use of the word "kins" is interesting, as it is not commonly used in this context. It suggests a feeling of closeness and kinship that transcends the physical world.
Overall, the lyrics of Blessed are a moving tribute to love and the power of memories. The song celebrates the importance of love in our lives and suggests that we can find comfort and inspiration through our memories of loved ones.

Maurice White was at his absolute best, with his song writing and production skills, during this time period of the '70's. I love the vocals by The Emotions on this track. The entire album, "Rejoice" is an excellent one!
