When I close my eyes so I would not see My Lord did trouble me. When I let things stand that should not be My Lord did trouble me. Did trouble me With a word or a sign With a ring of a bell in the back of my mind. Did trouble me Did stir my soul For to make me human to make me whole. When I slept too long and I slept too deep Put a worrisome vision into my sleep. When I held myself away and apart And the tears of my brother didn’t move my heart. Did trouble me With a word and a sign With a ringing of a bell in the back of my mind. Did trouble me Did stir my soul For to make me human to make me whole. And of this I’m sure of this I know: My Lord will trouble me. Whatever I do wherever I go My Lord will trouble me. In the whisper of the wind in the rhythm of a song My Lord will trouble me. To keep me on the path where I belong My Lord will trouble me. Will trouble me With a word or a sign With the ringing of a bell in the back of my mind. Will trouble me Will stir my soul For to make me human to make me whole. To make me human to make me whole.
