I Shall Not Walk Alone - Live at the Apollo

I just wanna say too, uh, what an honor it is
To be here with the blind boys and have... and to have...
They opened up a very special window to me, a door actually
Into the depth of soul music and, uh, it's just, uh, an honor and a privilege
To share the stage with them and to share, uh, my life with them
In music and in friendship
Thank you guys very much

Battered and torn
Still I can see the light
Tattered and worn
But I must, I must kneel down to fight

Friends of mine
Oh, what can't you, what can't you spare?
I know sometimes
It gets cold, cold in there

When my legs no longer carry
And the warm wind chills my bones
Got to reach for Mother Mary
And I shall not walk alone

Oh, beauty and hope is alive
Oh, while we're apart
Only tears
Speak from my heart

Break the chains
Oh, that hold us down
And we shall be
We shall be forever bound

Oh, but when
When I'm tired and weary (when I'm tired and weary)
And a long, long, long way from home (long, long way from home)
I simply reach out for Mother Mary (reach for Mother Mary)
And I shall not, yeah (shall not walk alone)
(And I shall not walk alone)

The beauty that
The beauty that
We have left behind
Tell me how shall we?
How shall we?
Tomorrow, tomorrow find

Oh, set aside
Set aside our weight in sin
So that we
So that we can live again

Oh, but when my legs no longer carry (legs no longer carry)
And the warm wind chills my, chills my bones (warm wind chills my bones)
All I got to do, I can just reach out (reach for Mother Mary)
Reach for Mother Mary
And I shall not, yeah (shall not walk alone)

You know I shall not (shall not walk alone)
Shall not (shall not walk alone)
Shall not (shall not walk)
(Alone) oh yeah
