Lyrics OneRepublic

OneRepublic

Preacher

1. 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, the 12 years scar

But I'd hear the same voice echo in my mind

See son you got an angel, to chase the devil at night, yeah

R: 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 can never spend his wealth

2. I took a little faith, and put it in a parking lot

I drove to a strange town, full of have and have nots

Yeah, and as I walk through that storybook life

I’ll be looking for an angel, to chase the devil at night, whoa

R:

Wave, put your hands up, and hands down

Wave, put your hands up, and hands down

Wave, put your hands up, and hands down

R:

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you can never spend his wealth
