You were always trying to fill the void, my brother
Habits old, trying to find that something new
Never still in the arms of a lover
Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through

Along came a morning of another
Blindsided by a sweet surprise

Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
He can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old

You were always searching for destruction
Now you bare the scars of a path in which you chose
It takes a braver and a stronger kind of woman
To follow where such a broken man can go

Along came a morning of another
Blindsided by a sweet surprise

Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
He can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old

You've got to hold him close
Odetta, don't you ever let him go
May be a long wild road
Although we may need you then
We need you now more than ever

Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
He can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old
Odetta
