paul simon - the rhythm of the saints lyrics

(paul simon)
if i have weaknesses
don't let them blind me
or camouflage all i am wary of
i could be sailing in seizures of laughter
or crawling out from under the heel of love
do my prayers remain unanswered
like a beggar at your sleeve
olodumare is smiling in heaven
smiling in heaven i do believe

reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
to overcome an obstacle or an enemy
to glide away from the razor or a knife
to overcome an obstacle or an enemy
to dominate the impossible in your life

always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable
and fashion is rich people waving at the door
or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion
lies of a nature we've heard before
do my prayers remain unanswered
like a beggar at your sleeve
balalu-aye spins on his crutches
says leave if you want
if you want to leave

reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
a reach in the darkness
reach in the dark
to overcome an obstacle or an enemy
to glide away from the razor or a knife
to overcome an obstacle or an enemy
to dominate the impossible in your life
reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
to overcome an obstacle or an enemy
to dominate the impossible in your life
reach in the darkness
a reach in the dark
