I'M So Down, I'M So Blue
I'm so down, I'm so blue
I don't know what to do
Will I be sold, or am I lost?
If so, what's the cost?
Am I slave, or am I free?
Who will know me and when will they see?
So many things have gotten me down
There is no smile, I'm walkin around with a frown
Lookin out the window, and the clouds are gray
This is not going to be a cheerful day
I'm thinkin about all of my loved ones who have died
When I heard that they were gone, I just cried and cried
I try to think about all of the fun that I had
But now things just seem to be going bad
I always ask the Lord how can I stop all of this pain
I've been locked up in sorrow and it's hard to explain
I keep things to myself, I don't wan to spread it around
You can tell that I'm upset because I don't make a sound
I'm so down and I am feeling so blue
I'm caught up in sadness, and don't know what to do
