Preacher Lyrics - OneRepublic

1 When I was a kid

2 I used to buy and sell gravity

3 I knew how to fly

4 And I would teach you for a fee

5 Broke every window

6 In my hotel heart

7 When I was only 5 years old the 12 years scarred

8 And I'd hear the same voice

9 Echo in my mind

10 Said 'son you got an angel,

11 To chase the devil at the light'

12 Yeah, When I was a kid

13 My grandfather was a preacher

14 He'd talk about God

15 Like he was something like a teacher

16 He said 'God only helps those

17 Who learn to help themselves'

18 He was a million miles from a million dollars

19 But you could never spend his wealth

20 I took a little faith

21 And put it in a parking lot

22 I drove to a strange town

23 Full of have and have nots

24 And as I walked through that storybook of life

25 I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the light

26 Oh! oh! oh!

27 When I was a kid

28 My grandfather was a preacher

29 He'd talk about love

30 Yeah he was something like a teacher

31 He said 'God only helps those

32 Who learn to help themselves'

33 He was a million miles from a million dollars

34 But you could never spend his wealth

35 Oh! oh! oh!

36 Wave, Put your hands up and hands down

37 Wave, Put your hands up and hands down

38 Wave, Put your hands up and hands down

39 When I was a kid

40 My grandfather was a preacher

41 He'd talk about life

42 Yeah he was something like a teacher

43 He said 'God only helps those

44 Who learn to help themselves'

45 He was a million miles from a million dollars

46 But you could never spend his wealth

47 He was a million miles from a million dollars

48 But you could never spend his wealth
