Rewrite of Michael Bolton's Soul of My Soul
We should've been strangers
We've should've been worlds apart
At all times
And I know this maybe at first
Hard for a kid your age to accept
Gonna be a lot of things about your old man
You'll never understand
Declaring father and son
Blind to each other
Don't want you
You don't want me
Bondin' goin' nowhere
Something long ago, boy
Your mama should have let you know
God why did't she ever let you know
Chorus
Son, you're no soul of my soul
Heart of my heart
The buried treasure of your life is this
You're not who you think you are
No soul of my soul
No child I could hold to my heart
I can never love you
So giving you the freedom of what I know
Boy, you're no soul of my soul
Into this cruel world
We let you come
Never knowing till now
I was't the one
She let into her open
And the worst mistake
Biggest regret I have in life
Is that so long it was kept from you
Every road from now on that you take
Your every living day
Rest knowing
Somewhere out there is he
Who is
He...
Who is
The soul of your soul
Chorus
No soul of my soul
Your heart breakin' my heart
To that other man
I'm sure some kind of miracle you are
But not to me
Oh no blood of my blood
No light in my life
God why did we wait so long
To let you know
No soul of my soul
