Lyrics John Legend – Preach

Every day I wake and
Everything is broken
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed
Get home every evening

And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
But what can I do?
I can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain

Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices
Everybody’s talking
Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new
Now when all is tragic
And I just feel sedated
Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah

And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
But I’m only human
I can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I

I’m falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I’m not helpless
But what can I do?
Can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain

I try to do the things, I
Say that I believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach

Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
