Helen Vahdati’s Song Lyric Sunday this week is SOUL.
My first thoughts were to go for the soul songs of the 60s. Sam and Dave, Wilson Picket, Otis Redding etc. but I opted for Van Morrison’s song Soul. The lyrics are his beautiful poetry …
Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the color of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within”
It is where everything begins
It is the right choice for me.
Have a great day!
Lyrics
Soul
Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the color of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
It is where everything begins
Soul is what you’ve been through
What’s true for you
Where you going to
What you’re gonna do
Soul is your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision or something that is hidden
It’s not something that you gotta hide
Soul is what you’ve been through
What’s true for you
Where you going to
What you’re gonna do
Soul can be your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision it can be your religion
Something that you just can’t hide
Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the color of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
Soul is where everything begins

I like Van Morrison, but I was unfamiliar with this song. Thanks for the introduction.
You’re welcome my friend. I’m a big fan of Van the Man!
Excellent choice! I don’t listen to enough Van Morrison. I need to change that. 🙂
