Preacher - One Republic
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 Broke every window In my hotel heart When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred And I'd hear the same voice Echo in my mind Said, "Son you got an angel, To chase the devil at night." Yeah 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 was looking for an angel to chase the devil at night Oh! Oh! Oh! 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." He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth Oh! Oh! Oh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Wave Put your hands up and hands down [3x] 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.
