I Believe That God Knows What Each

I've Been A Puppet, A Pauper, A Pirate, A Poet, A Pawn And A King I've Been Up And Down And Over And Out And I Know One Thing Each Time I Find Myself Flat On My Face I Pick Myself Up And Get Back In The Race

I Don't Know What Other Singers Feel When They Articulate Lyrics, But Being An 18-karat Manic-depressive And Having Lived A Life Of Violent Emotional Contradictions, I Have An Overacute Capacity For Sadness As Well As Elation.

I Get An Audience Personally Involved In A Song - Because I'm Involved Myself. It's Not Something I Do Deliberately: I Can't Help Myself. If The Song Is A Lament At The Loss Of Love, I Get An Ache In My Gut. I Feel The Loss Myself And I Cry Out The Loneliness, The Hurt And The Pain That I Feel.

For Nobody Else, Gave Me Thrill-with All Your Faults, I Love You Still. It Had To Be You, Wonderful You, It Had To Be You.

I Believe In You And Me. I'm Like Albert Schweitzer And Bertrand Russell And Albert Einstein In That I Have A Respect For Life -- In Any Form. I Believe In Nature, In The Birds, The Sea, The Sky, In Everything I Can See Or That There Is Real Evidence For. If These Things Are What You Mean By God, Then I Believe In God. But I Don't Believe In A Personal God To Whom I Look For Comfort Or For A Natural On The Next Roll Of The Dice.
