Lyrics OneRepublic – Preacher
Text:
When I was a kid
I used to buy and sell gravity
I knew how to fly
And I would teach you for a fee
In my hotel heart
When I was only 5 years old the 12 years scarred
But I’d hear the same voice
Echo in my mind
Said, «Son you got an angel that chase the devil out the mind.»
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about God
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, «God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves.»
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
I took a little faith
And put it in a parking lot
I drove to a strange town
Full of «have» and «have nots»
And as I walked through that storybook life
I’ve been looking for an angel who’d chase the devil out the mind
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about love
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, «God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves.»
But you could never spend his wealth
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about life
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, «God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves.»
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth.
