Blood
Vasudo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He was a warrior, a friend to consideration lost along the way
With a warm bear grin, blood on his saddle
He set out to find a peaceful way in a fearful time

And he listened to the wind
Heard the mountain sway
He carried the heart of his people all along the way
And in the night through the eyes of fear he'd say

If you feel alright
You better quit your crying
It's just a little bit of blood my friend
And if you feel alright
You better quit your crying
It's just a little bit of blood my friend

He was a warrior, a child of the old meditation lost along the way
Broken from the home he knew, a young man's shadow
He always walked alone, a stranger to the world we know

And he listened to the wind
Heard the mountain sway
He carried the heart of his people all along the way
And in the night through the eyes of fear he'd say

If you feel alright
You better quit your crying
It's just a little bit of blood my friend
Don't hold your head so high
Just try to lean with the rhythm
'Cause we're all gonna bleed someday

We don't wanna know what lies ahead
We're gonna go on anyway, we're gonna go on anyway
And we'll let the weakness show
Mistakes that we've already made are gonna guide us home
And in the night, through the eyes of fear he'd say

And if you feel alright
You better quit your crying
It's just a little bit of blood my friend
Don't hold your head so high
Just try to lean with the rhythm
'Cause we're all gonna bleed someday

And if you feel alright
You better quit your crying
It's just a little bit of love my friend
Don't hold your head so high

Just try to lean with the rhythm
'Cause we're all gonna bleed someday
