The story of the blues

LEARNING THE BLUES

VERSE:1
When trouble comes to knock you down
And holds you kicking on the ground
When love has lied and just skipped town
And friends are nowhere to be found
The blues are what you learn to use
To ease the pain ....Each time you lose
And that... is.how.....
You learn the blues

VERSE:2
The blues are born from what you do
What you can't have and hurt you knew
They're more a howl, a cry of pain
For battles lost and wisdom gained
The blues can give you hope again
They lift you up and heal your shame
And that's....how.....
You learn the blues

BRIDGE 1
Those steel-string notes that slide
Pushed and bent until they cry
In each blue note you recognize
That hurt that's aching deep inside

VERSE:3
You sing the things that you can't say
On days you feel you've lost your way
Blues are the comfort for your heart
When all your dreams have blown apart
The blues arrive to soothe your fears
To help, with all the grief and tears
And that's....how.....
You learn the blues

BRIDGE 2:
A Trumpet screams, A Sax replies
Tangled in their melodies they rise
In each blue note you recognize
That hurt that's aching deep inside
