Preacher
------OneRepublic
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 five years old,
yet twelve year scarred
But I'd hear the same voice echo in my mind
It'd say, "Son, you've got an angel"
that'd chase the devil out the mind
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He'd talk about God.
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 story-book 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. 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
Wave. Put your hands up and hands down.
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He'd talk about life.
