Lyrics Melody Gardot

Melody Gardot

Preacherman

Preacherman gon' tell me

where his body lie

said he down by the river now child

left him there to die

One by one we tumble

one by one we fall

if I had a solution now honey

I would fix us all

'Cause I believe in a world

where we all belong

and I'm so tired of seein'

every good man gone

Take me to that river

lay me by his side

let the water wash me clean now honey

man done stole my pride

I have seen the darkness

lord knows I've seen the light

don't recall the lord

sayin' there's a difference

if you're black or white

'Cause I believe in a world

where we all belong

and I'm so tired of seein'

every good man gone

(ooooh ooooooh oooooh ooooooh)
